TLDR

  • โ—Bitcoin jumped to $82,026 overnight, holding above $81,000 resistance as altcoins rally broadly.
  • โ—Michael Burry warns Nasdaq 100 matches dot-com bubble levels, signaling potential stock crash.
  • โ—Oil surged past $105/barrel on Iran ceasefire doubts, increasing macro uncertainty for markets.

Why this matters

Coverage sentiment: Mixed (1 bullish ยท 0 neutral ยท 0 bearish)

Oil at $105/barrel is a direct negative for India, a major crude importer, as it widens the current account deficit and pressures the INR. Asian crypto traders tracking Bitcoin's $81Kโ€“$82K range will watch whether US equity weakness from a Burry-style correction dampens regional risk appetite.

What to watch

  • โ€ข Bitcoin $82,000 resistance โ€” a clean break and close above this level signals next leg toward $85,000โ€“$90,000
  • โ€ข Nasdaq 100 technical levels โ€” monitor whether broader equity selling accelerates following Burry's bubble warning

Ripple effects

  • โ€ข Nasdaq 100 โ€” bearish pressure if Burry's dot-com bubble warning gains traction among institutional investors
