Bitcoin price jumps above $106k as Trump’s ceasefire boosts crypto rally and altcoins like Ethereum, Solana surgeReuters
Bitcoin jumps past $106k after Trump’s ceasefire announcement boosts crypto investor confidence. Ethereum, Solana, and altcoins follow with double-digit gains. Market eyes US Fed’s next move as bullish sentiment returns to the global crypto space.
Bitcoin is back in the spotlight, crossing $106,000 again after a geopolitical shift gave bulls a reason to step in. The leading cryptocurrency saw a sharp rebound after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. This surprise move calmed global market jitters, especially concerns around oil supply disruptions, and gave crypto investors renewed confidence to pile back into risk assets. Within 24 hours, Bitcoin jumped back above the $106K mark, reversing earlier losses where it had briefly dipped below $100,000 for the first time in 45 days. This rally wasn’t just about Bitcoin—Ethereum, Solana, Sui, and several other altcoins joined the party with gains ranging from 6% to over 13%.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading around , up by nearly . The leading cryptocurrency touched an intraday high of , with its daily low hovering near . This marks a sharp recovery following last week’s geopolitical tensions that had dragged crypto prices lower.

Ethereum (ETH) is also enjoying strong upside momentum, currently priced at $2,410.64, up 6.5% over the past day. The second-largest crypto by market cap hit a high of $2,430.13, rebounding impressively from its intraday low of $2,202.36.

The latest rally appears to be driven by a mix of geopolitical developments and renewed investor risk appetite:

These numbers reflect a strong bounce from the weekend lows, showing that investor confidence is quickly returning.

While today’s momentum is certainly encouraging, analysts warn of potential volatility ahead. The ceasefire between Iran and Israel remains tenuous, and any escalation could send markets into another tailspin.

Additionally, upcoming U.S. economic data and Federal Reserve commentary could influence the crypto market’s next move. Traders are watching inflation indicators and interest rate updates closely, as any surprises there could either fuel or flatten the current rally. Bitcoin’s rally appears closely tied to a sudden shift in global sentiment. President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel cooled down fears of military escalation in the Middle East, which had been weighing on investor confidence across global markets. Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex, explained that this development helped restore geopolitical stability and reduced the immediate threat of oil disruptions—a key risk factor.

According to Patel, this triggered renewed interest in risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's price climbed 3.56% and was last seen trading at $105,077.64, with a strong 24-hour trading volume of $64.85 billion. In the past day alone, the price has fluctuated between $99,705.75 and $106,116.86, keeping traders on high alert.

Yes, and traders are watching closely. While the ceasefire brought in short-term bullish energy, all eyes are now on the upcoming speech by US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Market watchers expect any dovish tone—especially hints of possible rate cuts—could push Bitcoin beyond its current resistance level of $107,700, according to Mudrex’s Edul Patel.

There’s strong support forming near $103,200, suggesting that even if Bitcoin cools off slightly, it may remain on firm ground unless new global shocks emerge.

Even Tether (USDT), the leading stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, saw a slight uptick, trading at $1, up 0.04%. According to Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform, the crypto market has switched back into a risk-on mode. With traditional equity markets bouncing and gold prices slipping, it’s clear that investors are feeling a bit more optimistic. Subburaj pointed out that Bitcoin is back in its previous consolidation zone above $105,000, suggesting that this level may now act as a launchpad for future gains—provided there are no surprises from the Fed or new geopolitical tensions. In addition to the major players, a few coins are catching traders’ eyes on CoinMarketCap’s trending list this Tuesday morning. These include: These names have gained momentum either due to strong price action, developer activity, or community engagement. Traders often watch these trending coins for short-term trading opportunities or emerging narratives. That’s the big question now. While Bitcoin has recovered impressively, profit-booking at higher levels has already started. Still, strong volume and bullish sentiment suggest the move has legs. Much will depend on macroeconomic signals from the US Federal Reserve and any unexpected global developments. If Powell’s speech later today indicates easing ahead, crypto bulls may get the fuel they need to push Bitcoin above the $107,700 resistance.

But if he sounds cautious or hawkish, expect a short-term pullback, possibly testing support near $103,200.

Bitcoin’s sharp rise above $106,000 signals a powerful comeback for the crypto market, fueled by easing geopolitical fears and renewed risk appetite. With Ethereum and altcoins tagging along, the market is showing strength—but the Fed's next move could decide whether this rally continues or cools down. Either way, traders have plenty to watch, from trending coins to central bank signals.
