Interesting what happened this weekend with Bitcoin. While stock markets plunged due to tensions in Iran, BTC showed strong resilience around $74,000. Liquidations weren't as massive as one might have feared, only $300 million according to data. Bitcoin has been stuck in its usual range since February, oscillating between highs and lows without really breaking upward.



What struck me is that altcoins didn't follow the panic movement. AAVE, LDO, and JUP remain in the green despite the tense geopolitical context. MORPHO continued its impressive two-week streak. However, WLFI now seems stable after dropping more than 44% since January. And HYPE had an interesting rebound on Saturday before slightly retreating.

Gold and silver reached their highest levels in over a month, and oil jumped to $82 per barrel. U.S. stocks declined by 1 to 1.5%, but the crypto market showed more stability. Funding rates remain negative, suggesting traders are not in full panic mode. Bitcoin's implied volatility stays steady around 59%, nothing alarming. The $60,000 puts are the most in demand, indicating some concern about a decline within this price range. Overall, the market is absorbing geopolitical shocks well.
BTC-0.84%
AAVE-0.4%
LDO-0.05%
JUP-2.4%
