Bitcoin slipped to $73,558 (-1.06%) as risk assets diverged — equities rallied on ceasefire optimism while crypto faded. ETH down 0.76% in sympathy.

The Trump regulator dropping the Winklevoss case should be tailwind, but BTC dominance at 57.7% with falling prices says new flows aren't arriving. Crypto trades like a stale long here, not a fresh bid.

$72,000 is the line that turns this from chop into a real downside test. ETF flow data Friday; any positive headline on the Genius Act/regulation push could re-anchor. Resistance $75,500.

WTI slipped to $88.48 (-0.23%), giving back overnight gains as Hormuz ceasefire optimism overcame US-strike concerns. Tight range as traders waited for the next Iran headline.

Oil is trading the binary — every Iran news cycle whipsaws the tape. The underlying physical market remains tight (OPEC+ disciplined), but headline risk dominates positioning until resolution.

Any Hormuz deal confirmation pushes to $85; failure or fresh escalation reopens $95. Weekly EIA inventories Wednesday remain in the background. $90 is the headline-driven pivot.
