On Monday, major cryptocurrencies rebounded as Bitcoin (BTC) rose 2.35% to $76,056.53, supported by a 20% increase in trading volume. Ethereum (ETH) and XRP also saw gains, reaching $2,321.05 and $1.43, respectively. Despite this recovery, the market sentiment remains cautious, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index indicating a prevailing 'fear' among traders. Analysts like Michaël van de Poppe are optimistic, forecasting that Bitcoin could hit $85,000-$88,000 in May if geopolitical conditions remain stable. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization now stands at $2.56 trillion, reflecting a 1.98% increase over the last 24 hours. In contrast, stock markets struggled, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 posting minor declines amid uncertainty over the ongoing Iran conflict, where President Donald Trump suggested a potential for a better deal with Iran while threatening military action. Oil prices also fell, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropping 1.51% to $88.26 per barrel.
