Bitcoin steady as S&P 500 hits record, but options market isn't buying the peace trade


Bitcoin climbed to $74,935 in Asian hours Thursday, up 0.7% over 24 hours and 5.4% on the week, as U.S. equities closed at record highs on reports the U.S. and Iran had reached an "in principle" agreement to extend negotiations past next week's April 7 ceasefire expiry.

The S&P 500 finished up 0.8% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 1.4%, both all-time highs, capping a two-week rally from late March lows.

Ether led major tokens, up 8.1% on the week to $2,360, extending the outperformance against bitcoin that emerged earlier this week. XRP gained 3.6% to $1.41, dogecoin rose 4.8% to $0.098, and solana added 2.2% to $85.

The equity rally is running ahead of what other markets are willing to confirm. Long-end Treasury yields barely moved. Gold held near $4,800. Brent crude ticked up to $95 as the U.S. pressed ahead with a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains effectively closed.

"Stocks are basically expressing their view that the war in the Persian Gulf is all but over," Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, wrote in a note.

Crypto's derivatives desks aren't pricing the same conviction. QCP Capital wrote in a Telegram broadcast on Wednesday that bitcoin's rally is spot-led rather than part of a broader re-risking.

Funding rates on bitcoin perpetuals are still negative and open interest has softened, suggesting shorts are leaning against the move rather than capitulating. Front-end implied volatility remains muted, one-month vol is trading below three-month, and 30-day 25-delta risk reversals still show more demand for downside protection than upside exposure.

Put simply, options markets are pricing caution even as spot rallies. The cost of bitcoin options expiring in the next few weeks is unusually calm for a real breakout, and traders are still paying

Gold prices slipped slightly from a one-month peak during Asian trading on Wednesday, with investors closely watching developments between the United States and Iran as a fragile ceasefire deadline approaches next week. The pullback came after a strong rally in the previous session, driven by optimism over potential peace negotiations and encouraging U.S. inflation data.Spot gold declined 0.6% to $4,815.17 per ounce, while gold futures edged down 0.3% to $4,838.40 per ounce as of early morning Eastern Time. Fellow precious metals followed suit, with silver dipping 0.4% to $79.27 per ounce and platinum holding relatively steady at $2,107.21 per ounce.Tuesday's rally was sparked by softer-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index figures for March, which showed that while headline inflation was pushed higher by rising energy costs, core inflation remained largely contained. The data mirrored a similar trend seen in recent Consumer Price Index readings and put pressure on the U.S. dollar, boosting gold's appeal as an alternative asset. Former Federal Reserve Chair and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the bullish sentiment by suggesting there could be room for at least one interest rate cut later this year. Since gold generates no yield, lower interest rates typically enhance its attractiveness compared to government bonds.Geopolitical tension continued to shape market sentiment. The U.S. military confirmed it had fully enforced a naval blockade against Iran, a move widely interpreted as pressure on Tehran to reach a lasting peace agreement. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that additional ceasefire talks would take place within days and that a resolution to the now seven-week-old conflict was near. Both sides have reportedly remained open to dialogue, and the existing ceasefire appeared to be holding as of Wednesday morning.Traders remain cauti

With macroeconomic factors and geopolitical tensions guiding the market’s direction over the past few weeks, major inflows and outflows have been observed across Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as well as Solana and XRP ETFs. A direct comparison between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reveals a modest correlation in capital flows, suggesting similar investor behavior between the two assets. In contrast, XRP and Solana ETFs have experienced relatively subdued activity, likely impacted by persistent market volatility and a prevailing risk-off sentiment among investors.

Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF Performance This Past Week
Data from SoSoValue shows that Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen stronger inflows than outflows since the start of last week. On April 6, Bitcoin ETFs posted their largest single-day inflow since the beginning of March, with more than $471.3 million flowing into these investment products. BlackRock’s IBIT had led this massive inflow with approximately $181.9 million. This was followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which recorded inflows of about $147.3 million.

Following this, Bitcoin ETFs saw sharp outflows for two consecutive days, with $159.05 million withdrawn on April 7 and another $125.55 million leaving the fund on April 8. The decline in flows coincided with the US-Iran ceasefire announcement, which ironically should have bolstered market sentiment and yielded more positive results. However, the outflows continued, with Fidelity’s FBTC recording the highest outflows, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT.

On April 9 and 10, investors appeared to shift significantly, likely due to easing geopolitical pressures. This change was reflected in strong demand, with Bitcoin ETFs recording total inflows of more than $598.5 million on both days. However, the rebound proved short-lived. As of today, April 13, the funds have turned negative again, recording more than $291.1 million in outflows.

 XRP Holds Strong as
Market Awaits Breakout Above Key
Resistance
XRP is currently showing stability in the market as it trades within a tight range, building momentum for a potential breakout.
Despite overall market fluctuations, XRP has managed to hold its ground, which indicates strong buyer support. The main focus for traders right now is the ongoing interest in Ripple's ecosystem and its cross-border payment solutions, which continue to attract institutional attention.
Another factor supporting XRP is the growing optimism around regulatory clarity.
Positive developments in Ripple-related discussions are improving investor sentiment, which could play a major role in XRP's next move. However, like other altcoins, XRP is also facing resistance due to short-term profit-taking and overall market uncertainty.
Il Current Market Situation:
XRP is currently trading around the $0.60 - $0.65 range, which is acting as a
consolidation zone. This range is important because it will decide the next direction of the price. A breakout or breakdown from this zone is expected soon.
~ Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If XRP breaks above $0.66 resistance, next targets could be:
$0.75
$0.85
If rejection occurs:
Support levels: $0.55 - $0.57
• Final Insight:
XRP's structure is currently neutral to bullish, with a high chance of breakout if buying volume increases. Traders should wait for confirmation before entering trades.

Dogecoin Above The 1.618 Fib Level Has Triggered ATH Runs, Will It Push It Above $2.8 This Time?
Dogecoin’s price action has a habit of doing the unthinkable just when the crowd has stopped paying attention. The leading meme coin is presently grinding between $0.09 and $0.10, stuck in a tight range that makes it easy to dismiss any bullish outlook. However, one analyst believes the meme coin is still on track to repeat its previous cycles.

The 1.618 Fibonacci Level And Dogecoin’s History Of Breakouts
Technical analysis from crypto analyst Javon Marks has drawn attention to a Fibonacci-based framework that, when mapped across Dogecoin’s entire price history, reveals an interesting, consistent behavior. According to Marks, Dogecoin’s previous bull cycles share a pattern where each major rally extended beyond the 1.618 Fibonacci level before reaching a new all-time high.

Bitcoin should prepare now, even if quantum is a 'lab experiment’: Adam Back

Blockstream CEO Adam Back, an early pioneer of the crypto movement, said Bitcoiners should be looking at building quantum-resistant solutions now, even if the threat is still decades away.

“Quantum computing still has a lot to prove. Current systems are essentially lab experiments. I’ve followed the field for over 25 years, and progress has been incremental,” Back said at Paris Blockchain Week on Tuesday.

“That said, Bitcoin should prepare,” Back said, adding that the “safest approach” is to build optional upgrades that allow migration to quantum-resistant cryptography if needed.

Concerns that quantum computers could eventually break blockchain cryptography have fueled industry-wide fear that bad actors could use it to break into crypto wallets, plunging the market into chaos.

Back said in November that the quantum threat is still 20 to 40 years away, while explaining to Bloomberg earlier this month that today’s quantum computers are slower than calculators.

Despite this, his Bitcoin development company, Blockstream, has a dedicated quantum team researching potential threat vectors to the Bitcoin network.

Part of that work has involved implementing hash-based signatures on Blockstream’s Bitcoin layer-2 Liquid Network, Back said at Paris Blockchain Week.

“Preparation is key. Making changes in a controlled way is far safer than reacting in a crisis.”

He added that the Taproot protocol could also support alternative signature schemes on the Bitcoin network without affecting current users
