According to Axios: A senior U.S. official said Iran has submitted an updated ceasefire proposal, but the White House believes the proposal lacks substantial improvements and is insufficient to reach an agreement.On May 18th, according to CNBC, EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Dombrovskis stated that the spring economic forecasts, to be released later this week, will show downward revisions to economic growth figures, while inflation figures will rise, due to the "stagflation shock" from the war with Iran. Dombrovskis stated, "We are experiencing a stagflation shock." He added that policymakers now have "more limited" room for action, with little room for large-scale fiscal responses like those during the pandemic. He stated, "We believe that the support measures we take should be temporary and targeted, rather than those that will actually drive sustained growth in demand for fossil fuels." Meanwhile, Dombrovskis described the EUs release of strategic petroleum reserves as "ongoing," adding concerns about supply shortages in areas such as innovative fuels. He stated, "The longer the conflict lasts, the greater the risk of certain supply bottlenecks, which further confirms our view that policy responses should not increase demand for fossil fuels."According to CNBC, Trump will introduce more prescription drug discount options.Turkish Foreign Minister: There is no reason why Iran and the United States cannot reach an agreement on a neutral position through negotiations.According to CNBC, the European Union will lower its economic growth forecast and raise its inflation forecast.

ETH saw a rough day's start, dropping to a low of $1,567 in the morning. ETH rose to a late high of $1,661, avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) around $1,550. To close the day at $1,645, ETH overcame the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $1,601 and the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $1,629


Bitcoin (BTC) gained 3.11% on Sunday. After losing 0.16% on Saturday, BTC gained 4.55% for the week to reach $23,746. For the first time since August 19, BTC avoided falling below $23,000 and reached a new 2023 high of $23,962.


After a choppy start to the day, BTC dropped to an early low of $23,000 before moving. BTC surged to a late high of $23,962, avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) at $22,876. BTC surpassed the key resistance levels and finished the day at $23,746. Late support was provided by the Third Major Resistance Level (R3) at $23,639

Delivered by Fed Policy Sentiment and Easing FTX Contagion Support

On Sunday, there were no outside market factors that might have given BTC, ETH, and the larger market direction. Price support was provided by market bets on a Fed interest rate rise of 25 basis points on Wednesday and a less aggressive interest rate path to achieve the target inflation rate.


Another benefit for riskier assets would be if interest rates followed a less aggressive trajectory, which would reduce the likelihood of a harsh landing.


Lessening FTX contagion risk continues to be the major driver for the crypto market in the short run.


However, the most recent White House statement added another another layer of regulatory ambiguity for cryptocurrency investors to traverse. The SEC may intensify its mantra of regulation by enforcement without providing the cryptocurrency market with a clear regulatory roadmap in response to calls for lawmakers and regulators to increase regulatory control.


Investors should keep an eye on the cryptocurrency news wires today for developments on FTX and Genesis, as well as talk around the Shanghai hard fork. Investors should be on the lookout for any hints that the scheduled March hard fork timing may be delayed.


The NASDAQ Index will probably have an impact during the afternoon session before Wednesday's interest rate announcement.
