The ‘buy-the-dip’ investors were present on Monday en masse when the losses were made up for Friday and the markets ignored the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Bullish started the quarterly walking week of options for shares. All three most important averages closed the session higher, led by the Nasdaq, which rose by 1.52%. The technology sector was supported by strong performance of names such as Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: Meta), NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) and Cryptoeurs Coinbase (Nasdaq: Coin).
Bitcoin continued his strong profits from Sunday in Monday’s session. The prize of the world’s largest crypto rose due to the price level of $ 108,000 and reached almost $ 109,000 before he dropped when the American trade session ended. Bitcoin has kept itself strong since the conflict in the Middle East broke out last week. Despite the initial decrease to $ 102,800, the Bitcoin Koers Steading steadily and stable during the increasing geopolitical tensions.
Markets are shocked by Trump’s remark about Iran
The Na fair markets were startled by a sudden remark by President Trump during the G7 meeting in Canada. Crypto Coersen and shares prices fell, with Bitcoin at the time of writing around $ 105,873. Sharing Futures fell and the rates of most shares started to fall during the aftermarket.
So what did Trump say that investors prevented from taking a profit from Monday’s bullish session? The president posted through his Truth Social page that Iran should have accepted his deal and that everyone “Tehran had to evacuate immediately!”.
The post was interpreted as a direct threat to the residents of Tehran and immediately caused a sales wave at the power markets. The Chinese government also advised citizens who are currently in Israel to leave for safety, following the comments from President Trump.
As it stands now, we can probably expect more market -moving comments from President Trump and from government members in both Iran and Israel. The markets were shot up as soon as the session started, but at the end of the session have returned some profit, because investors are reluctant to take a risk at night.
Ethereum achieved a peak of $ 2,680 during the American trade session before it dropped below $ 2,600 after the comments of the president. Solana was also traded for more than $ 158 and dropped back below $ 150. For the time being it seems that it is only a retest of the most important supply levels underneath, and we could see the prices recover at night. On Monday evening it seems that shares are preparing for a red day on Tuesday, prior to the FOMC interest rate decision on Wednesday and the quarterly walking day on Friday.
