According to investment media FXStreet on July 2 (local time), risk asset preference sentiment partially recovered as indirect peace talks between the United States and Iran showed positive progress, and Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP (Ripple) continued their rebound for two consecutive days. Bitcoin regained $60,000, Ethereum surpassed $1,600, and XRP maintained its rebound above $1.06.

CNN reported that the indirect talks between the US and Iran, mediated by Qatar, made "positive progress" on matters related to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), and both sides agreed to continue discussions. The US and Iran are also continuing working-level discussions under the mediation of Qatar and Pakistan, and US Vice President J.D. Vance anticipated that discussions surrounding the nuclear issue would begin soon. However, Iran warned of an immediate and strong response to any Israeli attack and urged the US to restrain Israel.

As geopolitical tensions eased somewhat, investment sentiment in the cryptocurrency market also improved. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in the 'Extreme Fear' zone, but its value rose from 11 to 19. FXStreet assessed that while it is still a cautious level, investors' preference for risk assets is gradually recovering, signaling an increased possibility of a market rebound. Simon-Peter Massabni, Head of Business Development at XS.com, analyzed that the current situation is not the end of a long-term bull market but a price readjustment process due to changes in the macroeconomic environment.

Technically, Bitcoin recovered $60,000 after confirming the $58,000 support level earlier this week. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) turned positive on the daily chart, suggesting a potential rebound, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained at 39, indicating that strong upward momentum is still limited. However, the Parabolic SAR was located at $62,523, showing that the current rebound is still occurring within a downtrend. Key resistance levels were presented as the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $66,157, the 100-day EMA at $69,963, the downtrend line at $75,208, and the 200-day EMA at $75,923.

Ethereum rebounded from the $1,500-$1,600 support zone, trading at $1,623. MACD turned positive, but RSI remained at 41, indicating that demand recovery was still limited. The 50-day EMA at $1,808 was presented as the first resistance, followed by the downtrend line ($1,936), the 100-day EMA ($1,987), and the 200-day EMA ($2,256) as additional resistance zones. XRP maintained $1.06 above the psychological support level of $1.03. MACD showed a slight positive signal of stability, but RSI remained at 38, indicating that buying pressure was not yet strong. The upper resistance levels are the 50-day EMA at $1.19 and the 100-day EMA at $1.30, and the media predicted that breaking past the 200-day EMA at $1.52 would be necessary to alleviate the current bearish trend.
