The asset fell to a monthly low of about 65,000 dollars last Monday after earlier threats over the weekend. It later recovered to 69,000 dollars but was pushed back below 66,000 dollars by the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the weekend, markets remained relatively calm in price action but were active in terms of geopolitical statements. Attention centered on a deadline reportedly set by the President of the United States for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening, with warnings of possible strikes on infrastructure if demands were not met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just before the deadline, both sides announced a two week ceasefire. The news triggered immediate volatility across financial markets. Oil prices dropped sharply, while Bitcoin, gold, and equities moved higher. Bitcoin briefly climbed near 73,000 dollars for the first time in three weeks before easing back to below 72,000 dollars at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s market capitalization has risen to about 1.435 trillion dollars, with dominance over altcoins approaching 57 percent according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Altcoins Rally Across the Board<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most altcoins joined the upward move. Ethereum gained about 7 percent to reach 2,250 dollars, XRP rose around 5 percent to near 1.40 dollars, and Solana climbed 6 percent to about 85 dollars. Cardano and Hyperliquid both advanced roughly 7 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zcash led the market with a 21 percent surge to 325 dollars, while Rainbow Token gained about 20 percent. LayerZero rose 16 percent, pushing it back into the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Other double digit gainers included ENA, ICP, Render, and TAO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by about 100 billion dollars in a single day, reaching approximately 2.53 trillion dollars according to CoinGecko.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cryptocurrency market saw a strong surge over the past 12 hours after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, pushing Bitcoin to nearly&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2217"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2219,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2217\/revisions\/2219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
