Crypto markets are back in action this week, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all moving higher as sentiment flips positive. After weeks of uncertainty, a mix of geopolitical relief and improving technical setups is driving this rebound.
The main catalyst is easing tension in the Middle East. A two-week ceasefire between the US, Iran, and Israel, along with earlier talks of a longer deal, has reduced fears around a major escalation.
“Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two-week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated,” Donald Trump wrote on social media.
As the US-Iran ceasefire cooled the tension, markets quickly returned to “risk-on” mode. According to Santiment, Bitcoin jumped above $72.7K and Ethereum crossed $2,250, both hitting multi-week highs, while social sentiment turned bullish around a possible end to the conflict.
Oil prices, which had previously surged on war fears, are now cooling. That’s a positive signal for crypto. High oil prices usually push inflation higher and delay rate cuts, tightening liquidity.
With oil easing, liquidity conditions improve, and that’s helping capital rotate back into crypto and equities, supporting the current rally.
Meanwhile, the Clarity Act is making a buzz. Right now, Senate committees are working through key provisions before a possible floor vote, with timelines pointing toward mid-2026 as a critical window. The pro-crypto Senator Bill Hagerty said the committee was “very close” to starting work on the bill.
Bitcoin is trading around $71,600, up over 4%, and now pushing toward a key resistance near $72,600. It has reclaimed its 50-day EMA around $70,500, turning it into support, while RSI near 58 shows buyers still in control. A breakout above $72.6K could open the path toward $74,800.
Ethereum is holding above $2,200 after a 6% weekly rally, reclaiming its 50-day EMA near $2,150. Momentum is improving, with RSI around 60. If ETH breaks above $2,380, it could extend toward $2,575, while $2,138 now acts as key support.
XRP is trading near $1.37, rebounding from the $1.30 level. It’s approaching the 50-day EMA at $1.42, a crucial resistance level. Holding above $1.30 keeps the recovery intact, while a move above $1.42 could push it toward $1.45.
The market is up +4.08% to $2.45T mainly due to a U.S.–Iran ceasefire, which reduced global uncertainty and triggered a risk-on rally across assets.
Crypto is moving in sync with traditional markets, showing a 98% correlation with the S&P 500 and Gold, meaning the rally is largely driven by macro factors like interest rates and the dollar.
