Bitcoin rebound fails to ease $50,000 warning as some analysts fear further drop

Warnings are growing that Bitcoin could slide again to the $50,000 level despite a short-term rebound. Some crypto analysts see the possibility of a final capitulation phase before any meaningful recovery. Views in the market remain that it is too early to call a trend reversal even after Bitcoin bounced to just below $75,000. Traders and analysts cited bearish chart signals and long-term weakness, while others said this cycle may see less dramatic declines than past ones.

Citadel Securities sees stock, bond rally as worst-case Iran risk fades

Citadel Securities said the likelihood of a worst-case scenario in the Iran conflict has fallen sharply and that both stocks and bonds could rise together. Nohshad Shah, head of EMEA fixed-income sales, said the risk has moved away from an extreme phase as the chance of a broader escalation declines. He said markets appear to be pricing in fewer tail risks. U.S. stock indexes also rose, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.02 percent.
