Cryptocurrency-related stocks plunged, with **Strategy Inc.** (NASDAQ:MSTR) and **Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc.** (NYSE:BMNR) closing down 8% and 3.86%, respectively.

Bitcoin's open interest rose 1.23% in the last 24 hours. A rise in open interest alongside a sliding price typically indicates that new traders are aggressively selling or shorting the asset, expecting the price to fall further.

Major indexes pulled back on Tuesday. The **S&P 500** retreated 0.26% to close at 7,386.65**,**  while the tech-heavy **Nasdaq Composite** fell 0.97% to close at 25,678.82.  The **Dow Jones Industrial Average** shrugged off the decline, rallying 86.10 points, or 0.17%, to end at 50,872.11. 

President **Donald Trump** said that the negotiating parties are on the verge of finalizing a "very, very good deal" with Tehran even though the U.S. military launched “proportional” strikes against Iran in response to the alleged downing of an Army Apache helicopter by Iranian forces.

## Will Bitcoin Bounce Back?

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader **Michaël van de Poppe** noted Bitcoin consolidating below $65,000, with a clean breakout potentially triggering a strong run to $72,000-$74,000.

"I don’t think it will take long before the markets will be doing this, as the recent selloff was relatively irrational," Van De Poppe said.

On-chain analytics firm Santiment noted Ethereum’s positive-to-negative social commentary ratio hitting one of 2026’s lowest levels, placing it in an "extreme fear" zone.

"Historically, Ethereum has tended to rebound when social sentiment reaches extreme FUD levels because prices frequently move opposite to the crowd’s expectations," Santiment added.
