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.

Cable closed at 1.3445 (+0.21%), a modest grind higher tracking broad dollar softness. Deutsche Bank's EUR/GBP rally call dampened sterling enthusiasm; GBP underperformed EUR on the session.

Sterling lacks a domestic catalyst this week, so it's purely a dollar funding play. BoE pricing already discounts cuts; without an inflation shock, GBP is range-bound between dollar sentiment and EUR cross-flow.

UK retail sales data and any BoE speaker hints on August cut timing. Resistance at 1.3480; support 1.3400. EUR/GBP move above 0.8680 would cap GBP/USD regardless of dollar direction.
