XRP has been hovering around the $1.10 area even as daily futures volume has jumped back above $5 billion, a level last seen when price traded near $1.65. A TD Sequential buy setup on the 3-day chart and support around $1.09–$1.10 are being watched for a possible rebound toward $1.20 and $1.30, while a breakdown below $1.10 could bring another leg lower.

On June 12, 2026, Bank of America's head of US equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian said market conditions are showing "too many red flags" that have often come before major S&P 500 peaks. She noted that 70% of the firm's bear-market "signposts" are currently triggered and said such setups have historically foreshadowed a roughly 20% correction. Morgan Stanley CIO Mike Wilson, however, argued a correction could be inevitable yet healthy if the bull market is to extend into year-end.

Bitcoin climbed from $61,100 to above $63,400 on June 11, a roughly 3% move tied to risk-on sentiment after President Trump said the U.S. stepped back from planned Iran strikes and a peace memo could be signed as early as this weekend. The rally came while spot Bitcoin ETFs logged 13 straight sessions of outflows totaling $4.4 billion, with markets also focused on the Federal Reserve's June 16–17 meeting and a 98% probability of a rate hold.

BlackRock moved closer to launching its iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (ticker: BITA) after filing Form 8-A with the SEC on June 11. The prospectus lists a 0.65% sponsor fee and a seed portfolio that includes 109.96 BTC and 90,901 IBIT shares, with the strategy designed to sell covered calls to seek monthly income. A Bloomberg ETF analyst said the filing often precedes a launch within about a week, placing June 18 as a possible start date, though not guaranteed.

Roughly 35,000 Bitcoin options are set to expire on Friday, June 12, with a notional value near $2.23 billion, while about 175,000 Ethereum options worth around $293 million also roll off. Max pain levels are cited at roughly $67,000 for BTC and $1,750 for ETH, as spot markets remain pressured even with BTC up about 2% to around $63,500.

Bitcoin returned to gains on Friday, trading at $63,550, up 1.6% on the day and 1.4% over the week. The rebound followed Donald Trump's comments that the U.S. was close to a deal with Iran and that he had "ended the war with Iran today." Major tokens moved higher alongside BTC, while traders watched for whether a formal agreement in Europe this weekend materializes.

Japan’s central bank is widely expected to raise its policy rate from 0.75% to 1% at the June 15-16 meeting, a level not seen since 1995. Higher borrowing costs and a shifting yen backdrop could change how capital moves through Japan’s regulated crypto venues, where BTC/JPY remains a heavily traded pair.

Major cryptocurrencies rose on Thursday as markets reacted after President Donald Trump called off "scheduled" strikes on Iran and said talks on a deal were approved by Iran's top leadership. Bitcoin climbed to an intraday high of $63,850, while data showed more than $260 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours and the total crypto market cap at $2.17 trillion.

XRP is attempting to rebuild upside momentum toward the $1.8–$2 zone after an analysis shared on June 9 said Binance inflows show no new surge in large-holder deposits. The research noted that transfers above 1 million XRP have cooled following a 2025 peak, implying recent weakness may be more tied to liquidations and broader market pressure than aggressive whale selling. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $1.14.

Crypto trading activity across major non-stablecoin assets has slipped to levels last seen in 2024, according to Santiment's June 11 post on X. CoinGecko data shows Bitcoin's 24-hour volume at about $30 billion, down almost 20% day over day, while Ethereum fell 1.40% and BNB dropped 10%. Santiment said the pullback in participation can sometimes precede a relief rally if confidence and inflows return.
