Bitcoin maintained stability around $105,000 following the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady, marking 42 consecutive days above the critical $100,000 threshold since May 8 according to CoinDesk market data. Despite escalating Middle East tensions – including Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and retaliatory missile attacks – which pushed Brent crude oil prices up 1% to $77.45 (highest since January) and triggered declines in European equities and U.S. futures, crypto markets demonstrated remarkable resilience. The Fed simultaneously revised its economic outlook, lowering 2024 GDP growth projections to 1.4% from 1.7% while signaling fewer rate cuts through 2027 via its dot plot. Underpinning this stability is the accelerating corporate treasury adoption narrative, with public filings revealing 235 entities now holding bitcoin (including 129 publicly traded companies), representing a net increase of 27 new institutional holders over the past 30 days according to Bitcointreasuries.net. This institutional accumulation has effectively counterbalanced geopolitical risk aversion typically associated with traditional markets.

Derivatives markets flashed cautionary signals despite spot price stability. Total open interest across major exchanges fell to $55.3 billion according to Velo data, down significantly from the June 11 peak of $65.9 billion, indicating persistent de-risking. The June 27 Deribit options expiry shows a BTC put/call ratio of 1.13, with concentrated put demand at $100,000-$110,000 strikes reflecting near-term bearish hedging. Conversely, ETH options exhibit a 0.75 put/call ratio with call clustering at $2,600-$2,800. Funding rates turned mildly positive for BTC (+0.03%) and ETH (+7.5%) on Binance as of market close, though extreme negative rates plagued altcoins like AVAX (-19.05%) and BCH (-24.39%). Spot BTC ETFs recorded $388.3 million daily inflows per Farside Investors, contrasting with traditional equity outflows as S&P 500 futures dropped 0.36% pre-holiday. This divergence highlights crypto's decoupling from risk assets amid institutional allocation shifts.

Technical indicators reveal compressed volatility with BTC trading within a 10% range for 42 consecutive days – the narrowest volatility band in over a year. Coinglass liquidation heatmaps identify high-leverage clusters between $103,000-$106,000 on Binance, creating vulnerability to cascading liquidations during breakouts. Ethereum reclaimed its 200-day exponential moving average at $2,540 after testing support, with sustained closes above this level potentially enabling a retest of $2,600 resistance. Altcoins showed broad strength with SOL gaining 8.3% to $143.59 and SUI surging 13.39% to $2.82, though negative funding rates indicate persistent short pressure. Crypto equities exhibited volatility: Coinbase (COIN) closed Wednesday up 16.32% at $295.29 before plunging 14.16% in pre-market, while Circle (CRCL) rocketed 33.82% on regulatory progress. Upcoming token unlocks pose supply overhangs, including $17.34 million worth of Optimism (OP) on June 30 and $120.99 million of Sui (SUI) on July 1 per Token Unlocks data.
