As Bitcoin reaches a historic high and Ethereum sees a monthly increase of over 40%, the crypto market is once again igniting hopes for a bull run. On-chain capital activity is rising, trading platform activity is clearly increasing, and macro signals are also showing a positive trend.

Geopolitical conflicts escalate, Bitcoin and Ethereum face critical support level tests.
Recently, the global financial markets have experienced significant fluctuations due to heightened geopolitical tensions.
