Trump says the request for Pakistan-mediated extension of the ceasefire should be granted, but the conditions are tough: Iran must first submit a unified plan before negotiations continue. Iran has explicitly refused to participate in the April 22 negotiations, stating that the U.S. violated the ten-point framework agreement during the first round of Islamabad talks. Adding to this, Trump's previous strong warning that "Iran may be bombed," and Vance's visit to Pakistan still not being scheduled, this ceasefire seems more like a "life extension," extremely fragile and potentially torn apart by sudden events at any time.


Market reactions are also typical: as soon as the news broke, risk appetite warmed, BTC broke through $76,000, with about $260 million in liquidations across the network, including approximately $171 million in shorts, clearly driven by "news-driven rally + short covering" acceleration. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil briefly surged to $93.68 (+3.65%) before slightly retreating, indicating that funds are trading both the optimistic sentiment of "ceasefire extension" and still hedging against the tail risk of "negotiation breakdown/reignition of conflict."
Next, focus on three key points: whether negotiations can restart and provide an actionable timeline; whether oil prices will strengthen again (often indicating rising geopolitical risks); and whether BTC can retest and stabilize after breaking through, or if it will more likely follow a "liquidation ending → profit-taking" retracement path.

This ceasefire really feels like a life-saving injection.

Vans' itinerary is uncertain, which is very important, indicating that the coordination chain has not yet been sorted out.

Iran says the U.S. side violated the ten-point framework; this mutual distrust makes it basically impossible to advance the details.

Geopolitics is really a black swan factory; don't get too caught up in your positions, keep some cash on hand for dips.

This rebound is more like an event-driven acceleration phase; don't treat short-term news as long-term logic.

The worst thing is that "ceasefire extension" is used as a cover-up, while in reality, all parties are waiting for a stronger move to be made.

Crude oil has reached 93.68, the market verbally believes in a ceasefire, but still fears in practice.

A short position of 171 million being wiped out is completely normal; breaking through key levels is the best fuel.

If negotiations are restarted but without a timetable, it just means dragging things out further, and the market remains highly volatile.

The short seller was carried away, $76k this strike was ruthless enough.
