June 29 (AP) -- Pakistani officials said security forces conducted an intelligence-based ground operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday, followed by "precision strikes" on militant hideouts and shelters, killing 29 militants. Pakistani Information Minister Attra Talal said the operation was in response to multiple militant attacks across the country. The previous day, militants armed with guns and explosives attacked the regional headquarters of the paramilitary group Rangers in the southern port city of Karachi, killing three soldiers. Security forces killed three attackers and arrested another, identified by the military as a wounded Afghan national. The Pakistani Talibans separatist faction, the Free Peoples Party, claimed responsibility for the Karachi attack in a statement released Saturday evening.According to Axios: US officials revealed that the US and Iran have agreed to cease attacks and will meet this week.According to the Associated Press, Pakistan claims that it conducted ground operations and strikes in the Afghan border region, resulting in the deaths of 29 militants.The Israeli Prime Ministers Office stated that the destroyed underground tunnels contained hundreds of weapons and several rocket launcher platforms.On June 29, an Iranian official stated that Iran did not participate in the technical talks scheduled for that day due to "recent attacks and failure to meet relevant conditions."

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.
