Dow Jones live updates today: Wall Street futures point at subdued start ahead of Trump's Iran ceasefire deadline

Bitcoin dropped nearly 2% overnight as the US-Israeli war against Iran spooked risk favouring investors amid high volatility. The cryptocurrency quoted at $68,356, down 1.77% as of around 5.30 pm IST. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, slipped as much as 2.2% and was trading near $68,800 on Tuesday afternoon in Singapore, giving up gains from the previous session. The token had briefly crossed $70,000 on Monday for the first time since March. Other digital assets also weakened, with Ether, the second‑largest cryptocurrency, falling up to 2.8%.

“Bitcoin sentiment remains bearish in the short to medium term,” a Yahoo Finance report quoted Rachael Lucas, an analyst at BTC Markets. She noted that investors are largely in wait‑and‑watch mode, with bulls lacking the confidence to push prices higher and bears unable to trigger a sharp breakdown.
