the crypto market is holding its gains as it digests a pivotal geopolitical shift. The fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran continues to be the primary driver, providing a rare window of relief that has pushed Bitcoin back into a key consolidation zone.

Market Snapshot
Fear & Greed Index: 14–24 (Extreme Fear). While prices have recovered significantly, the index remains in Extreme Fear due to the 60-day streak of single-digit readings. However, sentiment is rapidly thawing as the "macro ceiling" created by high oil prices begins to lift.
Bitcoin (BTC): $71,247 (↗ 0.2% in 24h). BTC is currently consolidating after a sharp "short squeeze" earlier this week. It has successfully flipped the $70,000 level from resistance to support.
Ethereum (ETH): $2,168 (↘ 0.5% in 24h). ETH is trading slightly lower today after outperforming BTC for most of the week. Analysts are watching the $2,200 level as the next major hurdle for a sustained bullish trend.
Total Market Cap: $2.50 Trillion. Global liquidity is stabilizing as the war premium on energy fades, with oil prices holding near $95/barrel.
