Cryptocurrencies are extending gains Tuesday after the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced plans for an extraordinary meeting to consider releasing emergency oil reserves — significantly easing fears of a prolonged supply shock from the ongoing Iran conflict. Risk sentiment improved across global markets, lifting Bitcoin above $71,500 intraday (current ~$71,300, +3.2% 24h) and driving strong moves in major altcoins.

Key performers:

• XRP, DOGE (+ notable gains)
• SUI & HYPE (Hyperliquid) leading among majors
• Broad CoinDesk 20 Index up similarly

Crypto-related stocks joined the rally:

• Circle (CRCL) +6% today, now nearly 100% higher in two weeks
• BitGo (BTGO) +8%
• Figure (FIGR) +12%
• Stack BTC (STAK) — the U.K. Bitcoin treasury firm that announced Nigel Farage joining Monday — up >200% since

BTC Decoupling from Software/Tech Stocks?

Bitcoin is showing early signs of decoupling from the software sector (iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF – IGV). Over the past 24 hours:

• BlackRock’s IBIT (Bitcoin ETF proxy) +~3%
• IGV down >2%

Over five days: IGV +1.5%, IBIT -2% — suggesting BTC may be lagging slightly but could catch up if correlation re-establishes. A sustained weakening correlation would be significant — positioning BTC as a more independent asset during macro/geopolitical turbulence. Since the Iran war began, BTC has outperformed both gold and U.S. equities in relative terms.

James Harris, CEO of Tesseract Group, called the setup “cautiously optimistic”:
“After testing low-$60,000, BTC recovered while broader risk markets struggled. ETF inflows remain supportive, deleveraging flushed excess positioning, and support around $66,000 held firm. This mix suggests a potential bottoming process — though downside risk lingers if mid-$60K fails.”

Trading Levels & WallStreetQueenOfficial Edge

Current BTC range: $66,000–$74,000 (persistent since early Feb).

• Bull case: Hold $70,500–$71,000 → retest $74K–$75K if IEA reserve release materializes or ETF inflows accelerate.
• Bear case: Break below $70,000 → retest $66K–$68K support zone.
• Volatility note: Funding rates neutral-positive, stablecoin inflows surging — favors dip-buying or leveraged longs on confirmation.
