Leading cryptocurrencies paused gains, while stock futures surged on Sunday after President Donald Trump urged officials not to rush into a deal with Iran.
Crypto Market Lacks Momentum
Bitcoin declined to $76,000 during the evening hours, rebounding to $77,000 later in the day. Trading volume fell 26% over the last day.
Ethereum narrowly avoided a sub-$2,000 close and climbed back to roughly $2,100. XRP and Dogecoin moved sideways.
Over $200 million was liquidated in the past 24 hours, predominantly in long positions, according to Coinglass data.
Bitcoin’s open interest fell 2% over the last 24 hours, while sentiment in the derivatives market shifted to “Neutral.”
“Fear” sentiment persisted in the market, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.
Top Gainers (24 Hours)
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.57 trillion, following an increase of 0.15% over the last 24 hours.
Stock Futures Rally After Iran Deal Drama
Stock futures were up in the green overnight on Sunday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 287 points, or 0.57%, as of 8:37 p.m. EDT. Futures tied to the S&P 500 climbed 0.70%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures gained 1.14%.
Key Levels To Watch Out For BTC
Popular cryptocurrency analysis-focused X account CryptoReviewing identified $77,500-$78,100 and $74,000-$76,200 as important BTC ranges.
“The very largest liquidation clusters right now for BTC are at $77,700 and $76,600 – making potential sweeps of both levels a ‘high probability,'” the analyst added.
Widely followed cryptocurrency commentator Rain noted that Ethereum was trading below its 2-year Simple Moving Average—a level tied to “major cycle recoveries.”
“Possible flush to $1,000–$1,300 still on the table, but the 2027–2029 target range sits at $7,700–$14,000,” the analyst predicted.
Rain attached a chart showing Ethereum’s dominant share across tokenized assets, stablecoins, and DeFi indicators, and wondered when price will catch up with ETH network’s fundamentals.
