Crypto Market Surges on Ceasefire Announcement
In a shocking turn of events, a surprise 2-week ceasefire announcement by former President Trump has sent Bitcoin soaring to $43,219, a 7.5% increase in the last hour, while Oil prices have tumbled to $63.12 per barrel, down 4.2%. This sudden shift in market sentiment comes as Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF goes live today, further fueling the cryptocurrency's rally. As of 12:09 UTC, the S&P 500 is up 1.2% at 4,231.
The ceasefire announcement has significant implications for global markets, as it may lead to a decrease in geopolitical tensions and an increase in investor appetite for riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.

With Ethereum also surging to $2,931, up 5.1% in the last hour, it's clear that the cryptocurrency market is reacting positively to the news.
As the situation continues to unfold, investors should stay tuned for further updates and be prepared for potential market volatility. With Gold prices down 1.1% at $1,842 per ounce, it's clear that investors are rotating out of safe-haven assets and into riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.
