I noticed an interesting pattern over the weekend. Major cryptocurrencies rebounded quite sharply after the market digested geopolitical news. Bitcoin rose about 5% to above 66,000 after falling below 64,000, and Solana, Ether, and other major tokens showed an even stronger increase.

Solana surged by 10% to $86, Ether returned to around $2,000, Cardano gained 6.7%, and XRP increased by 5.6%. All of this happened in the context of traders perceiving the development of events as a signal for a possible quick end to the conflict. Low liquidity over the weekend worked both ways — initially down, then up.

But what is concerning: over the week, the picture is quite different. Major assets show mixed results — Bitcoin is down 1.6% over seven days, XRP fell by 2%, but Solana and Ether managed to stay in positive territory. The Sunday rebound looks convincing on the hourly chart, but it could simply be a bounce on low liquidity. The real test will begin when traditional markets open — stocks, oil, bonds. If oil prices spike sharply or indices open with a decline, all this optimism could disappear just as quickly as it appeared.
