Bitcoin has returned to the $76,700 area after a slight upward correction during Asian trading. Ethereum is also at $2,283, just one step away from yesterday's low.

The cryptocurrency market declined following news of Donald Trump's dissatisfaction with Iran's latest proposal to resolve the Middle Eastern conflict. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the most capitalized and most sensitive to geopolitical factors, demonstrated negative dynamics, reflecting raiders' concerns about a possible escalation in the region.

The current geopolitical environment, characterized by tensions between Iran and the United States, has been putting pressure on risk assets for some time. Any new signs of conflict escalation, whether verbal statements or actual actions, can prompt capital outflows from riskier asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, into more conservative instruments.

Currently, all traders are closely monitoring developments in the Middle East. Such news can act as a catalyst for further declines in cryptocurrency prices and affect their long-term prospects.

As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to work, relying on any major pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum in anticipation of the continued development of the bullish market in the long term, which has not gone away.

Regarding short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
