Over the weekend, crypto Twitter exploded with warnings of World War 3. Traders were told everything could crash in days; stocks, crypto, bonds, even the dollar. 

The logic is that if conflict in the Middle East escalates and the Strait of Hormuz gets disrupted, oil spikes. And when oil spikes, inflation fears return fast.

Higher inflation pushes yields higher. Higher yields drain liquidity. And when liquidity drains, risk assets get sold first. Bitcoin falls because it’s liquid. Altcoins fall because they’re risk.

Right now, markets are pricing tension, not full-scale disaster, but real duration risk. Oil is elevated. Sentiment is fragile. Crypto is holding, but barely.  So, what happens if a U.S.–Iran ceasefire is suddenly announced?

Bitcoin Chart Breakdown

On the daily chart, the Bitcoin price is in a corrective structure. After topping earlier in the cycle, BTC has printed lower highs and lower lows. This latest flush has caused the price to dip towards the low end of the $60,000 range before stabilizing again. The current price of BTC is trading at $66,430.

The 200-day moving average is located at the mid-$90,000 range, and the BTC price is trading well below this range.

RSI is hovering around the low-40s. Momentum is weak but not oversold. That means there’s room for a relief move if sentiment improves.

Immediate resistance sits around $72,000, which aligns with prior breakdown structure. Above that, the $78,000–$80,000 zone is a major liquidity cluster and former consolidation area.

Bitcoin (BTC): A Ceasefire Relief Scenario

If the U.S. and Iran officially agree to a ceasefire and the tension drops, Bitcoin could move back up to the $72,000 to $80,000 range.

It’s trading near $66,430 now. So reaching that area would mean about an 8% to 20% move higher from here.

That kind of recovery would likely happen if inflation fears settle down, stocks stop sliding, and investors feel comfortable taking risk again.

The $72,000 level has been a barrier before. And the $78,000 to $80,000 zone is where price previously broke down, so it’s not an easy area to clear.

For the Bitcoin price to move above $80,000 and actually stay there, it would probably need more than just ceasefire headlines. The bigger economic picture would have to support it too.

XRP Chart Breakdown

XRP’s structure is weaker than Bitcoin’s. XRP is trading at $1.35 right now. It’s still far below the 200-day moving average, which is around $2.25 and still pointing down. That shows the bigger trend hasn’t turned yet.

The recent sell-off pushed XRP down to about $1.20 before it finally found some support and steadied there. That area is acting as short-term support.

RSI is around 39–40. Momentum is soft, but not deeply oversold. This will open the door for a potential “bounce” in the event of a positive change in overall sentiment.

The initial resistance area is located in the range of $1.70 to $1.85, which are the levels of consolidation breakdowns. Following this is the range of $2.00 to $2.20, which represents the area of structural reclaim and is close to the

XRP: A High-Beta Relief Bounce Scenario

If the situation settles down and money starts going back into altcoins, XRP could move up to the $1.70 to $2.20 range.

XRP is around $1.35 right now. So getting there would mean about a 26% to 63% rise from here.

This move would likely need Bitcoin to stay steady and traders to start taking more risk again.

The $1.70–$1.85 area was resistance before, and the $2.00–$2.20 zone is an important level on the chart.

For the XRP price to move clearly above $2.20, the whole crypto market would probably need to keep pushing higher, not just react to short-term news.

However,markets are not reacting to what is certain. They are reacting to how long this situation might last. Oil prices are one of the main pressure points. Liquidity is what really moves everything.

Prediction markets give some clues. On Polymarket, the odds of a ceasefire by this Friday (March 6) are low. Most traders don’t think it will happen that quickly.

But the chances of a deal by the end of April are much higher, above 70%. That shows people think a ceasefire is possible, just not immediate. If an agreement comes sooner than expected, prices could jump fast.

If the conflict spreads, crypto will probably stay weak. If a ceasefire is announced, prices could bounce quickly. Bitcoin would likely react first. XRP could move even faster. In times like this, markets move on what they expect, not on full confirmation.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
