This is Seo Jin-hyeok, an economic market analyst from Wall Street. Today, the market is staging an unstoppable rally, buoyed by the strong positive news of easing geopolitical risks in the Middle East. In particular, the rising expectations for a peace agreement between Iran and the United States have led to a rapid recovery in risk appetite, which in turn has resulted in a sharp drop in international oil prices, a rise in the US stock market, and a general bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market. If we take the core question as to where the market is looking right now, the current market is focusing on two keywords: 'risk appetite recovery and liquidity expectations'.
I will clearly explain the market's direction with data and figures, not emotions. Please grasp the current market trend at a glance through the key indicator summary table below.
| Indicator | Current Value | 24-hour Change Rate | 7-day Change Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $77128.0 | +2.63% | +5.61% |
| Ethereum (ETH) | $2421.01 | +3.08% | +7.69% |
| Ripple (XRP) | $1.48 | +1.65% | +8.61% |
| Solana (SOL) | $88.86 | -0.21% | +4.51% |
| Dogecoin (DOGE) | $0.099523 | +0.31% | +5.61% |
| Fear & Greed Index | 26 (Fear) | Previous Day: 21 (Extreme Fear) | - |

The biggest driver moving the market today is undoubtedly the easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Former President Trump's remarks regarding Iran and the news of the Strait of Hormuz opening played a decisive role in causing international oil prices to plummet by 11.5% based on WTI. This significantly reduced inflation concerns and reignited expectations for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
The US 10-year Treasury yield remains at a high level of 4.32%, but the drop in oil prices due to easing Middle East risks will act as downward pressure on interest rates in the long term. Fed Governor Waller, while cautious about rate cuts, has mentioned the possibility of cuts in the second half of the year, so the market is closely watching for any changes in the Fed's stance.
This macroeconomic environment has also positively impacted the US stock market, with the S&P 500 closing up +1.21% and the Nasdaq 100 up +1.31%. Notably, the Nasdaq has risen for 13 consecutive days, continuing its tech-driven bull market. This is interpreted as a result of both the recovery in risk appetite and the market's anticipation of liquidity supply.
Bitcoin, buoyed by the peaceful breeze from the Middle East, rose +2.63% over 24 hours to $77,128.0, nearing a re-break of $80,000. Over the past 7 days, it has shown a strong recovery with a +5.61% increase, dispelling market concerns.
What is most notable is the continuous inflow from institutional investors. BlackRock's spot ETF IBIT has risen almost daily for the past three weeks, climbing approximately 19% from its low, and US Representative Sheri Bix has also reportedly purchased IBIT. Morgan Stanley has also fully opened its Bitcoin spot trading services, accelerating Wall Street's entry into the cryptocurrency market.
Currently, the Bitcoin perpetual futures funding rate remains negative at -0.01%. This indicates an excessive build-up of short positions in the market, suggesting the possibility of a strong short squeeze if prices rise further. Indeed, over the past 24 hours, $745 million worth of futures positions were forcibly liquidated, which further strengthened the upward momentum. Long-term Bitcoin holders have accumulated 3.06 million BTC over the past three months, highly valuing the market's potential.
Ethereum rose +3.08% over 24 hours to $2,421.01, showing strength alongside Bitcoin. Ethereum's exchange reserves have plummeted to 2021 levels, fueling expectations of a 'supply shock', which could be a strong catalyst for future price increases. US Ethereum spot ETFs have also recorded net inflows for 6 consecutive trading days, indicating a continuous inflow of institutional funds.
XRP rose +1.65% over 24 hours to $1.48, successfully breaking through key resistance levels. Notably, the XRP Ledger has emerged as a core hub in the Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization market, with activity surging by 800% in a month. News of large-scale capital inflows from Goldman Sachs and integration with Japan's Rakuten payment system are further strengthening XRP's upward momentum.
Solana (SOL) saw a slight decrease of -0.21% over 24 hours, but maintained a solid trend with a +4.51% increase over 7 days. Solana and Chainlink recorded their highest monthly inflows, signaling their resurgence as contenders to Ethereum. Dogecoin (DOGE) rose +0.31% over 24 hours, and with Elon Musk's proposal for an X Money integration model and whale accumulation movements detected, it is attempting to re-break $0.10.
In the Binance USDT-M futures market, MOVRUSDT surged +102.22% over 24 hours, recording an overwhelming increase. RAREUSDT (+50.63%), SOONUSDT (+37.30%), and ETHWUSDT (+35.57%) also showed significant gains. This suggests active capital rotation within the altcoin market based on specific themes or individual positive news.
The Fear & Greed Index rose from 21 (Extreme Fear) on the previous day to 26 (Fear), indicating a slight easing of extreme fear in the market. This means that the reduction in geopolitical risks in the Middle East has positively influenced investor sentiment.
However, the fact that it remains in the 'Fear' phase indicates that it is too early for the market to be completely at ease. The Bitcoin perpetual futures funding rate still being negative suggests that many traders are betting on a decline, or that confidence in a rise is still lacking. Some analysts have diagnosed that cautious sentiment is expanding amid Bitcoin's $76,000 resistance, and real signs of economic normalization are needed.
Furthermore, the collective sell-off by Bitcoin mining companies (32,000 BTC), concerns about quantum computing threats, and warnings from some analysts about a '2018 crash doppelganger' all call for a cautious approach to market optimism.
A market of 'expectation and caution' where risk appetite is recovering due to the peaceful breeze from the Middle East and institutional capital inflows, with Bitcoin attempting to re-break $80,000, yet excessive short positions and some cautious views also coexist.
