US IRAN CEASEFIRE PUMPS CRYPTO & STOCKS! BITCOIN & XRP ETFS REBOUND!
April 8, 2026
AI Summary
5 min readThe United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire and fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz, sending Bitcoin to touch $72,000 and pumping the S&P 500. The host, Tony Edward, immediately cautions that this is likely a relief rally rather than the start of a sustained bull run, but the technicals and the macro setup are worth walking through carefully.
Ceasefire, Oil Crash, and the Relief Rally
The ceasefire announcement is the dominant market mover. Oil prices crashed over 15% on the news, which the host flags as a historically bullish signal for risk assets — when oil pumps, stocks and crypto tend to roll over, and the inverse is now playing out. Bitcoin touched $72,000, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are both pumping, and the host notes that the RSI on Bitcoin is still in middle ground (not overbought) on both daily and weekly timeframes, meaning there is room to run. The daily MACD has flipped green for both Bitcoin and the S&P 500. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin's RSI is bouncing off historic oversold levels seen in previous bear market bottoms, and the weekly MACD is about to flip bullish — the red candles are getting lighter and smaller. The monthly RSI is also bouncing from levels that have marked bear market bottoms historically, though the monthly MACD still shows bears in control.
