Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: Before the U.S. market opened, the Trump administration’s “steel tariffs” rapidly escalated global trade tensions. Geopolitical risks also spiked due to the weekend’s Russia-Ukraine conflict. Following the release of a weak U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index, market sentiment deteriorated, and major U.S. stock indices hit daily lows. However, markets rebounded after direct talks between Russia and Ukraine concluded, and the White House indicated that U.S.-China leaders might hold a meeting this week.
  • Crypto Market: Bitcoin mirrored U.S. stock indices with an intraday V-shaped rebound, fluctuating between $103,000 and $106,000. The ETH/BTC exchange rate surged with the market rebound, outperforming BTC. On the news front, SharpLink announced $1.5 billion in funding for ETH strategic reserves, while the Ethereum Foundation reorganized its structure—potentially boosting investor confidence in ETH. As a result, ETH rose 2.67% on the day and led a broad altcoin rally. Ethereum ecosystem projects such as ENA, PEPE, ARB, and AAVE were among the top gainers, driving the market rebound.
  • Today’s Outlook: South Korea presidential election: 16 million crypto voters may influence key outcomes.
