- US President Donald Trump suggested the Iran conflict might be nearing an end, impacting oil prices.
- The odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike increased to over 90%, with a potential increase of 25 basis points expected.
- BTC tested its critical support level at the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA), closing above it at $77,430.
