Issue context

The crypto market is experiencing a slight rebound, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $63,000 mark. This movement follows a week of significant losses and is accompanied by ongoing geopolitical tensions and a deep-seated "Extreme Fear" sentiment. Despite the short-term uptick, stablecoin outflows and negative ETF data point to fragile market liquidity.

The current market rebound might be a short-term relief. Keep an eye on geopolitical developments, stablecoin liquidity, and sentiment. Your risk appetite should reflect the persistent uncertainty.
