The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 28 points, or 0.05%, as of 8:43 p.m. EDT. Futures tied to the S&P 500 gained 0.21%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures added 0.46%. Uncertainty lingered over a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal as Trump said he is in no "hurry" to reach an agreement. He warned that military options remain on the table if a satisfactory deal cannot be secured. Why This Level Is Significant For BTC Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez noted Ethereum testing the lower boundary of a descending channel on its 3-day chart at $1,825. "That area could offer a favorable risk-reward entry targeting $2,073 and $2,360, as long as price remains above $1,750 on a daily closing basis," Martinez added. Rekt Capital, another popular cryptocurrency commentator, drew attention to Bitcoin's retest of the $73,000 level as support despite "downside volatility." "If Bitcoin manages to weekly close above $73,000 then price will be one step closer to confirming the double bottom breakout & be positioned to try to trend continue," the analyst projected.
