According to CoinDesk and market analysts like Jeff Anderson and QCP Capital, Bitcoin (BTC) demonstrated notable resilience by maintaining levels above the key $100K threshold despite escalating Iran-Israel tensions. Institutional adoption continues to underpin BTC's stability, with Volmex's 30-day implied volatility index declining to 42.7% and CME futures open interest at 150,970 contracts, signaling sustained confidence among large traders. The path of least resistance remains upward, as confirmed by technical signals such as the appearance of a green brick on BTC's three-line break chart (source: CoinDesk). Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) options are trading at a premium, offering yield opportunities for ETH holders, while upcoming large altcoin unlocks—FTN, ZK, ARB, APE, among others—pose potential headwinds for the broader altcoin market (source: LondonCryptoClub). Traders should monitor unfolding macro events and ETF flows, as spot BTC ETFs saw $301.7M in daily net inflows, signaling continued institutional demand (source: Farside Investors).
