US-Iran Tensions Ease, Fueling Optimism in Bitcoin and XRP Markets

Markets have been closely watching the situation unfolding between the US and Iran, with President Donald Trump announcing a five-day pause on planned military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy facilities.

The move has sparked renewed market optimism, leading to a slight surge in Bitcoin prices. According to recent data, the total net inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have reached $167 million, breaking a four-day streak of retreats. This indicates growing investor confidence in the cryptocurrency.

XRP prices are also seeing gains, with cumulative net inflows reaching 1.21 billion reported by US XRP spot ETFs. The volume of trading in these funds has increased to 16.21 million, contributing to a narrowing of total 2026 net outflows to around $210 million.

As markets await further developments, investors are keeping a close eye on key technical levels for Bitcoin and XRP. For Bitcoin, maintaining stability above the $70,000 level may encourage renewed accumulation from buyers, while a fall below this mark could increase selling pressure towards $68,000. Meanwhile, XRP's price is hovering around $1.41, with support band ranging from $1.40-$1.43 that may facilitate a rebound toward $1.50.
