Stock Futures Rally After Iran Deal Drama

Stock futures were up in the green overnight on Sunday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures rose 287 points, or 0.57%, as of 8:37 p.m. EDT.  Futures tied to the S&P 500 climbed 0.70%, while Nasdaq 100 Futures gained 1.14%.

Intense drama prevailed over the weekend after Trump said the deal with Iran hasn't been "fully negotiated" and that he advised his team not to "rush" it. Earlier, Tehran rejected any commitments to relinquish its nuclear stockpiles, remove equipment, or shut down facilities.

Key Levels To Watch Out For BTC

Popular cryptocurrency analysis-focused X account CryptoReviewing identified $77,500-$78,100 and $74,000-$76,200 as important BTC ranges.

"The very largest liquidation clusters right now for BTC are at $77,700 and $76,600 – making potential sweeps of both levels a ‘high probability,'" the analyst added.

The most important $BTC levels right now:

🧲 $77,500 – $78,100 above.
🧲 $74,000 – $76,200 below.

Widely followed cryptocurrency commentator Rain noted that Ethereum was trading below its 2-year Simple Moving Average—a level tied to "major cycle recoveries."

"Possible flush to $1,000–$1,300 still on the table, but the 2027–2029 target range sits at $7,700–$14,000," the analyst predicted.

Rain attached a chart showing Ethereum’s dominant share across tokenized assets, stablecoins, and DeFi indicators,  and wondered when price will catch up with ETH network's fundamentals.

Everyone's bearish on $ETH. The data isn't.

$43B in DeFi, $165B in stablecoins, 55% of tokenized asset market share… all while price bleeds 28% YTD.

39.1M ETH staked, 3.49M more queued to enter with a 60-day wait.
