22.04.202608:42 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Trading Recommendations for Bitcoin and Ethereum on April 22

Bitcoin and Ethereum have continued their active growth, benefiting from positive news in the Middle East. Bitcoin has reached $78,400, and Ethereum has approached the $2,400 mark.

Unexpected news about Donald Trump's decision to extend the truce with Iran, even in the absence of a second round of peace negotiations, had a significant impact on global financial markets, particularly on the cryptocurrency market.

This development has been quite positive for traders favoring digital assets. Easing geopolitical tensions in one of the world's key regions historically fosters increased risk appetite, and cryptocurrencies, despite their volatility, have come into focus. Confidence in maintaining temporary stability has encouraged traders and major asset holders to expand their positions, anticipating further growth. Inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs have also maintained a positive trend.

However, it is important to understand that the mere extension of the truce, while interpreted as a signal of diminished potential threats that could negatively affect the global economy, still means that a peace agreement is far off. It is difficult to predict how long-lasting this trend will be, but the current situation clearly demonstrates how external geopolitical factors can have a direct and significant impact on the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. Nevertheless, any changes in US rhetoric could renew pressure on digital assets, so traders should be prepared for that.

Regarding intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will also rely on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the continuation of the bullish market in the long term, which has not dissipated.

For short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.
