According to Omkar Godbole, markets reacted mildly to Middle East tensions, with oil prices reversing early gains alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and S&P 500 futures. Valentine Fournier of BRN stated that long-term catalysts, such as institutional adoption by entities like Metaplanet and Texas, will overcome short-term bearish sentiment, predicting a BTC rebound and Solana (SOL) outperformance once volatility subsides. Mean Theodorou of Coinstash warned of ongoing volatility from macro events like U.S.-Iran tensions and Federal Reserve Chair Powell's testimony, advising caution with altcoins like DOGE, ADA, and SOL due to recent double-digit losses. Key trading events include Powell's congressional testimony and core PCE data release this week.
