Among major crypto assets, BTC perform better pass others: Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP gain less than 1%.
Traders dey watch shifting correlations too. The link between BTC and tech stocks dey weak now, wit iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF (IGV) down about 4% heading to key support near $76. Over the past month, BTC gain about 9% while IGV fall about 12%, and the 20-day correlation coefficient drop to 0.34.

Bullish
Bullish for BTC for short term because people dey expect de-escalation (Netanyahu-led talks with Lebanon, US dey pressure make dem restrain airstrikes) wey improve the risk environment and help BTC perform better pass ETH, SOL, and XRP. Market too dey price in a more crypto-specific reaction: BTC correlation with tech proxies don weaken (lower IGV co-move and reduced 20-day correlation), fit allow BTC make e maintain relative strength even if parts of traditional markets dey wobble.
But the news na headline-driven. Any renewed strikes or if the US/Israel–Lebanon messaging worsen fit quickly reverse the move, so durability dey limited. Long-term, market focus likely go shift from "ceasefire hope" to the actual pace and credibility of the negotiations.
