Fresh Iran strikes failed to spark panic, leaving Bitcoin set for a volatile week ahead

Same risk, different day.　　Fresh U.S. self-defense strikes in southern Iran have reopened the Bitcoin Iran risk trade, but the market is treating the headline as conditional rather than as an automatic crypto selloff.　　The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out self-defense strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines, while saying it was using restraint during the ceasefire.　　That is exactly the kind of development that should have challenged the prior sessions Iran-deal relief trade.　　Yet the first cross-asset signal was calmer than the headline suggested. Early trading showed mixed Asian shares, higher U.S. futures, Brent below $100, and U.S. crude lower or mixed ahead of Wall Street cash trading resuming after Memorial Day.　　As pre-market trading commenced, the S 10-year Treasury yields were lower; the dollar spot index was little changed; gold was lower; and Bitcoin was only modestly softer.　　That combination points to a more precise answer for Bitcoin. The U.S. open can still be volatile because cash equities, Bitcoin proxy stocks, and ETF-linked flows have not yet delivered their first full post-strike response.　　But the early market message is that traders are watching the transmission channel through oil, yields, Fed pricing, and flows.　　Bitcoin Iran Risk Matters

Paul Tudor Jones Amplifies IREN (IREN) Holdings by 57% Amid AI Infrastructure Boom

What makes this position particularly noteworthy is the strategic reallocation Jones has executed. His call options declined by 50% while put positions decreased 28%, demonstrating a clear pivot from derivative instruments to direct stock ownership. This transition generally reflects heightened confidence and a longer investment horizon.　　IREN ended Friday‘s session at $56.83, declining 2.21%, though premarket activity Tuesday showed a 3.36% rebound. The stock has delivered impressive year-to-date returns of 50.46%, significantly outpacing the Nasdaq Composite’s 13.38% advance during the identical timeframe.　　Jones has been transparent about his investment rationale. During a recent CNBC appearance, he disclosed purchasing additional AI-related equities while specifically emphasizing infrastructure investments over software companies. He highlighted hyperscaler commitments representing approximately 1% of GDP toward infrastructure development — positioning IREN, which specializes in high-density power solutions and data center services, as a direct beneficiary of this capital deployment.　　His broader market perspective demands attention. Jones compares the present AI revolution to pivotal technology inflection points: the personal computer era beginning in 1981 and the internet‘s commercialization in 1995. He explicitly references late 1999 market conditions, stating the current environment “continues to feel like ’99” while projecting markets have “another two years to run and 40% to go.”　　Analyst Enthusiasm Backed

Zcash price confirms bullish Adam and Eve pattern, targets rally above $900

The measured move from the pattern projects a breakout target near $929, representing roughly another 50% upside from current levels. Traders calculate the target by measuring the distance between the neckline and the pattern low before extending the same range upward from the breakout point.　　The chart also shows ZEC reclaiming the Supertrend indicator, which flipped bullish near the $314 region earlier this quarter. Price continues holding well above that level despite the recent rejection near local highs.　　Momentum indicators remain constructive on higher timeframes. The weekly MACD histogram has expanded deeper into positive territory while the MACD line continues trading above the signal line, a structure traders often associate with continuation rallies rather than exhausted breakouts.　　Crypto trader Ardi described Zcash as “one of the best macro recovery charts in the market right now” after the token completed a V-shaped recovery back into the upper $680 resistance region. In a post published on X, he added: “Once that level breaks and confirms as support, Im still targeting a move into the $740 region next.”　　$ZEC　　Still looking for continuation here.　　Structurally, this is still one of the best macro recovery charts in the market right now.　　Liquidation clusters and whale positioning tighten around $700　　CoinGlass liquidation heatmap

XRP Market Fear Hits Levels That Previously Triggered Rallies

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that‘s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.　　Christians journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).　　Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his

Bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) prices slide while stocks gain alongside AI tokens: Crypto Markets Today

Bitcoin traded at $76,600 on Tuesday, down 0.8% since midnight UTC, as Mondays brief bounce to $77,800 fades. The move leaves the largest cryptocurrency potentially forming another lower high in a bearish structure that has been in place since October, and down 7% over the past two weeks.　　The weakness is not reflected in broader financial markets. S&P 500 index futures and Nasdaq 100 futures have gained more than 0.5%, pointing to crypto-specific headwinds rather than macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures.　　Ether (ETH) is faring worse. Trading at $2,098, ETH has shed more than 10% over the past two weeks and sits firmly in the middle of the range it carved out between February and April, with no signs of reclaiming lost ground.　　The altcoin market is mixed, with notable gains across AI tokens and steep losses for tokens that performed well earlier in the year like zcash (ZEC), which has lost around 7% since midnight.　　Derivatives positioningCrypto futures market volume has dropped 10% to $130 billion in 24 hours. Notional open interest (OI) is little changed around $126 billion, and 24-hour liquidations have declined 21% to $126 million. This points to a steady, rather boring market environment following the extended U.S. weekend holiday (though

Ethereum currently losing out in comparison with Bitcoin

Recently, when comparing the price trend of Ethereum with that of Bitcoin, ETH appears to be clearly struggling.　　Nevertheless, this is not a serious struggle, and since during bear markets situations like this are the norm, there is nothing particularly surprising about what is happening.　　The risk for Ethereum is always the one related to competition, also because Bitcoin instead basically continues not to suffer from it at all. However, competition for Ethereum is still not that significant, all things considered.　　Ethereums struggle　　Starting from the end of January, the price of ETH first collapsed from $3,000 to $1,740, but then bounced back above $2,000. Since 7 February it has been moving sideways in a range between $1,800 and $2,400, with rare and small exceptions above and below these thresholds.　　Bitcoin instead, starting from the second half of April, continued its rebound, going from $73,000 to $82,000, before returning to around $77,000. Ethereum did not experience this second small rebound.　　To compare the performance of Ethereum with that of Bitcoin, it is useful to analyze the price trend of ETH in BTC (ETHBTC).　　Between the end of January and the beginning of February, the price of Ethereum in Bitcoin fell from 0.0339 BTC to 0.0286, but in

Ethereum Whale Opens $100M Short, Unfazed by Buterins Vow to Sell Less ETH

A crypto whale opened a leveraged Ether (ETH) short position worth more than $100 million, even as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pledged fewer token sales via the Ethereum Foundation.　　Key takeaways:The whale may face over $1 million in potential losses as the ETH price rebounds toward short liquidation levels.Buterin says the Ethereum Foundation will “sell less ETH” despite offloading over 60,000 ETH earlier this year.　　ETH whale faces over $1 million in potential losses　　As of Monday, the wallet ‘0x50b…’ held a 47,600 ETH short position worth about $100.72 million, according to Hypurrscan data. The trade used roughly 23x cross-margin leverage, with an entry price near $2,094.92.　　ETH was trading around $2,115, leaving the position with an unrealized loss just shy of $994,000. The trader had also paid roughly $2,145 in funding, adding to the cost of maintaining the bearish bet.　　The position‘s liquidation price sat near $2,150, leaving little room for error. A modest ETH move higher could push the whale’s losses past $1 million and potentially wipe out the short.　　That puts the whale in a vulnerable position if Ethereum continues to rebound from its weekend low at around $2,000, especially as global risk sentiment improves due to signs of easing US–Iran tensions.　　Still, the

Ethereum Price Prediction for 2026 Looks Bullish, But This Under-$0.003 Token Could Outperform ETH

The New Under-$0.003 Token Gaining Massive Attention　　Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has been one of the highest-traded meme coin projects on the crypto market, due to its successful ongoing presale and Layer 2 ecosystem inclusion strategy. Unlike previous meme tokens on the market, which offer no utility beyond hype, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) combines meme culture with blockchain utility.　　The project is currently in stage 13 of its presale at $0.0022 per token, following the successful sellout of stage 12. Until now, LILPEPE has raised more than $28.18M and sold over 16.98 billion tokens in a short period.　　Such active participation reflects the increasing confidence of retail investors and crypto whales. A completion of another tremendous achievement for the project is the CoinMarketCap listing itself and it has helped to get high visibility throughout the entire crypto community.　　The team has also announced that they will launch on two top CEXs right after the presale. They also hope to get listed at one of the largest CEXs in the world.　　Little Pepe has major backing from seasoned crypto veterans who have helped meme coins reach multi-million-dollar valuations. This has pushed the project forward, and tiny LILPEPE hopes to become the top meme coin.　　Can Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Outperform

Ethereum Fails to Rally Despite Bullish Vitalik Sentiment

Ethereum　　Ethereum Fails to Rally Despite Bullish Vitalik SentimentEthereum sentiment turned bullish after Vitaliks comments, but ETH still failed to break key resistance.ETF outflows, whale shorts, and weak spot demand kept Ethereum under pressure despite active buying.Ethereum dropped nearly 29% this year as traders shifted focus toward Solana and rival blockchains.　　Ethereum failed to build on early gains this week, even after Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation may cut back on future ETH sales from its treasury. Traders initially reacted positively, but the recovery faded quickly as broader weakness in crypto markets kept pressure on prices.　　ETH briefly climbed nearly 5% from its weekend low near $2,020 before losing strength around the $2,115 level. Moreover, Ethereum remains down roughly 9% over the past two weeks as investors continue reducing exposure to risk assets.　　On-chain analytics platform Santiment highlighted the growing gap between trader sentiment and actual price action. “The Ethereum Foundation just promised to sell less ETH. Sentiment turned bullish. ETH price barely moved,” the platform wrote on X.　　The Ethereum Foundation just promised to sell less ETH. Sentiment turned bullish.
