The crypto market is engineering a dramatic, high-velocity turnaround this morning. After sliding toward a multi-week low of nearly $74,000 late Friday night due to peak Middle East tensions, prices spiked upward in a matter of minutes following a major geopolitical announcement.

Core Market Performance
The total crypto market capitalization has climbed back to $2.56 trillion, gaining roughly 1.12% in the last 24 hours as liquidity rushes back into the market.

Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at approximately $77,550. BTC collapsed to a local bottom near $74,000 during weekend low-liquidity trading before violently surging over $2,500 upward in minutes, completely reversing the flash crash.

Ethereum (ETH): Hovering around $2,165. ETH is stabilizing alongside the broader market, though it continues to lag behind Bitcoin’s sharp recovery curve.

Market Sentiment: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains pinned in "Fear" at 38, proving that while prices have bounced hard, retail and derivatives traders remain highly skittish after a brutal week of liquidations.
