Editor's Note: The US-Iran conflict continues. Although the crypto market saw a short-term rebound due to positive news such as the ceasefire agreement, crypto assets in the US stock market still mostly declined. Considering Trump's volatile stance and Iran's tough stance, investing in other sectors may still yield better returns than crypto stocks. Of course, crypto-related stocks such as Strategy, Bitmine, Coinbase, and Robinhood can still be considered "leveraged versions of BTC and ETH," and their gains could be even greater if the overall crypto market rebounds significantly. However, given the current unresolved downward trend, the waiting period may be much longer than we imagine.

The following is a summary of last week's cryptocurrency and stock market information compiled by Odaily Planet Daily.All US stock data comes frommsx.com.



With the easing of tensions between the US and Iran and an increased probability of ceasefire negotiations, the cryptocurrency market has seen a slight recovery.

Analysis: Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire boosted risk assets, while short squeezes coupled with low volatility drove a Bitcoin rebound.

Bitcoin and global risk assets strengthened on news of potential ceasefire talks between the US and Iran. Bitcoin rose to $69,350 on Monday morning, a new weekly high. Media reports indicated that the US, Iran, and regional mediators are discussing a 45-day ceasefire framework, which, if reached, could lead to a longer-term ceasefire.

Analysts point out that this round of price increases is mainly driven by expectations of ceasefire negotiations, rather than Trump's tough rhetoric. The market's sensitivity to his statements has decreased, and it is more inclined to judge based on actual action signals. In the derivatives market, the crypto market has formed a typical "short squeeze," with both implied and realized volatility at low levels. Previous market sentiment leaned towards extreme panic, creating conditions for a rebound. However, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains a key variable. If only a ceasefire is reached without a substantial resumption of shipping, the price increase may only be a short-term rebound; if negotiations fail, Bitcoin could still fall back to the $60,000 range.

The US-Iran conflict has shattered Bitcoin's "safe-haven" myth, and ETF funds are reshaping pricing logic.

A 10x Research article states that against the backdrop of the current US-Iran conflict, Bitcoin has not demonstrated its "anti-inflation" or "safe-haven asset" attributes; instead, it has fallen in tandem with other risk assets, indicating a shift in its price-driving logic. The launch of Bitcoin ETFs has introduced a new group of investors to the market, mostly from Wall Street, who focus more on macroeconomic variables than on-chain applications or network growth indicators. However, not all "macro" indicators apply to Bitcoin. Some retail investors still rely on narratives of "four-year cycles" or even extended "five-year cycles," leading to continued long positions during the decline. Currently, the market generally misinterprets Bitcoin, viewing it as a safe-haven asset, over-relying on ineffective liquidity models, and ignoring the key macroeconomic factors that truly drive the cycle.
