What to know:

  • According to an Israeli TV report, a one-month ceasefire in the Iran war could be announced soon.
  • The news sent crude oil down more than 4% and bitcoin higher by about 1%.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that the initial dip in crypto today wasn’t quite as severe after the U.S. stock market closed. While crypto values were down earlier, they’ve recovered a bit in recent minutes.

Israeli Channel 12 reports that a month-long ceasefire may be announced shortly, as White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner work on a deal.

The agreement also supposedly involves Iran getting rid of its current nuclear program and promising not to develop nuclear weapons in the future.

The oil market reacted quickly to the news, with the price of Brent Crude falling from $104 to under $100 in just a few minutes.

Bitcoin experienced some fluctuations throughout the day, briefly falling to around $69,000 before quickly recovering to $70,000. This news also led to slight increases in U.S. stock index futures.
