<h2>Stocks Slip After Trump’s Iran Statement</h2>



Stock futures ticked lower overnight on Sunday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures fell 159 points, or 0.32%, as of 8:36 p.m. EDT.  Futures tied to the S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.029%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures rallied 0.23%.



Geopolitical tensions heightened after Trump called Iran's response to the U.S. ceasefire proposal as &#34;totally unacceptable&#34; in a Truth social post.

Masoud Pezeshkian, president of Iran, said on X that dialogue or negotiation should not be equated to &#34;surrender,&#34; adding, &#34;We will never bow our heads before the enemy.&#34;

<blockquote>هرگز در برابر دشمن سر خم نخواهیم کرد و اگر سخنی از گفت‌وگو یا مذاکره مطرح می‌شود، معنای آن تسلیم یا عقب‌نشینی نیست. بلکه هدف، احقاق حقوق ملت ایران و دفاع مقتدرانه از منافع ملی است.— Masoud Pezeshkian (@drpezeshkian) May 10, 2026</blockquote>

<h2>Can Bitcoin Maintain Bullish Structure?</h2>



Chris Kline, COO &amp; Co-Founder at BitcoinIRA,  highlighted a &#34;textbook disconnect&#34; between sentiment and structural demand in a note shared with Benzinga.



Kline argued that while spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have recorded two straight months of net inflows, the fear and greed index has indicated bearish conditions.



&#34;From a retirement-account perspective, what matters isn’t whether BTC tests $75,000 or $85,000 next week — it’s that we’re 25 months into the post-halving cycle, ETFs are absorbing more new Bitcoin than miners produce, and we’re trading at a 36% discount to October’s peak,&#34; the analyst said.



Widely followed cryptocurrency commentator Michaël van de Poppe identified $79,000 as a &#34;crucial&#34; short-term support, and $76,000 as &#34;second level of importance&#34; to maintain bullish structure.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote>It's very simple for #Bitcoin. As long as the 21-MA remains beneath price, we're likely to continue grinding upwards. The $79K area is a crucial area to hold in the short-term, but even if that is lost, $76K can be the second level of importance to be keeping the structure… pic.twitter.com/jYQ5ywv8n7— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) May 10, 2026</blockquote>
