Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst, Delta Exchange said that Bitcoin is trading near the $63,000–$64,000 zone, while Ethereum is holding around $1,650–$1,680. The decline in Brent oil to its lowest level since March has eased some geopolitical inflation pressure, while Polymarket odds showing a higher probability of a permanent U.S.-Iran peace deal by year-end have also improved broader risk sentiment.

Sehgal further added that technically, BTC is holding above its 4-hour 20 EMA and testing the 50 EMA near $63,600–$63,700. RSI around 55 shows mild bullish momentum, while falling ATR near 890 indicates volatility compression.

In the past week, Bitcoin and Ethereum were up 4% and 6% respectively. Among the major altcoins, BNB, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano gained up to 11% whereas Tron and Hyperliquid fell 1% and 3% respectively.

WazirX Market Desk said that this week, Bitcoin traded between $61,244 and $63,536, staying below key moving averages but showing improving RSI toward the end of the week. Oversold readings, dip buying, long-term accumulation, and Bitcoin's growing role as collateral kept the recovery's potential in focus.
