SAEDNEWS: On April 5, 2026, the crypto market remained stable. Tether traded around 156,000–157,000 IRR, and Bitcoin stayed near $67,000. Total market value reached $2.4 trillion, with $51 billion in 24-hour trading, showing cautious yet active investor participation.
According to SaedNews University Service, citing Eghtesad News, the cryptocurrency market continues to consolidate today. The total market capitalization of digital currencies has reached approximately $2.4 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $51 billion, indicating that traders are participating actively but cautiously.
Bitcoin is trading around $67,000, holding a significant portion of the total market value. In the domestic market, Tether fluctuated between 156,750 and 157,560 Iranian tomans. The stablecoin opened at 157,140 tomans, briefly rose to 157,500 tomans, fell back to 156,750 tomans, and then returned to 157,560 tomans, reflecting relative stability and its key role in daily trading.
Market analysts predict that Tether (USDT) will remain in a relatively narrow range with conservative fluctuations in the coming days. Considering today’s movements—from 157,140 tomans up to 157,500 tomans, down to 156,750 tomans, and back to 157,560 tomans—experts identify 156,000 to 158,000 tomans as the main support and resistance zone. This range can act as a balance point between buying and selling pressures, preventing sudden price spikes or drops.
Technical analysis suggests that if Tether breaks and stabilizes above 158,000 tomans, new demand could drive it higher. Conversely, a drop below 156,000 tomans may trigger increased selling pressure and a further decline. Analysts advise small investors to adopt a “buy at support, sell at resistance” strategy amid these limited fluctuations.
Experts also note that Tether’s narrow volatility in domestic markets is largely influenced by the dollar exchange rate and commercial demand, and it tends to stay near its nominal value in dollars. Therefore, in the short term, Tether is expected to trade within 156,000–158,000 tomans with limited movement.
Analysts expect Bitcoin to remain within the $66,000–$68,000 range in the coming days. Today, Bitcoin traded between $66,600 and $67,800, closing around $67,300—a sign of ongoing consolidation while the market awaits clear signals for the next move.
Technical analysis identifies $66,500 as key support to prevent further declines, while $68,000 serves as critical resistance. A successful breakthrough above this level could trigger a new upward wave, while a breakdown in support could push the price toward $65,000.
Bitcoin’s 24-hour trading volume today was approximately $12.3 billion, reflecting active participation, although the lack of a strong trend indicates investor caution. Analysts recommend monitoring support and resistance levels and managing risk before committing to significant trades.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, traded around $2,024 today, posting a 0.5% increase in the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of approximately $19.1 billion. This indicates ongoing consolidation with strong support near $2,000.
Ripple (XRP) traded at $1.37 today, down about 0.4%, with a volume of around $2.4 billion. The price behavior shows selling pressure, though declines remain limited.
Binance Coin (BNB) reached $643, rising approximately 0.6%, with daily trading volume near $1.6 billion. It remains one of the most stable assets in the market.
Solana traded around $84.9, down roughly 0.8% over 24 hours, with trading volume exceeding $4 billion, reflecting short-term selling pressure and potential minor corrections.
Dogecoin traded at $0.092, declining about 0.5%, with a volume of $1.3 billion. Despite the drop, it remains one of the most actively traded cryptocurrencies.
Cardano traded at $0.259 with minimal change (~0.02% growth) and a volume of about $468 million, indicating relative stagnation and weak demand.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) reached $453, up approximately 1.35%, with trading volume around $207 million, suggesting limited liquidity inflow.
Shiba Inu traded near $0.000006, rising about 1.96%, with a volume of $143 million, showing high sensitivity to market sentiment and emotional volatility.
On April 5, 2026, the crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 9/100, clearly indicating “Extreme Fear.” This is among the lowest levels recorded in recent months, signaling caution, mistrust, and partial capital withdrawal from the market. Historically, such levels sometimes mark potential market bottoms, though timing of reversal remains uncertain.
The CoinDesk 20 index, tracking the top 20 cryptocurrencies, stood around 1,949 points on April 5, 2026, indicating limited volatility but relative selling pressure. Trading remains compressed, with no clear short-term trend, suggesting cautious behavior as investors await strong economic or political triggers.
