Stock Market LIVE Updates, Sensex Today: Sensex, Nifty Trade Flat As Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Ease Oil Concerns

"Inflation expectations remained elevated as oil held above $100, while US Treasury yields stayed near 24-year highs and foreign capital continued leaving Indian equities. These conditions keep borrowing expensive and may restrict institutional flows into Bitcoin and altcoins. However, the probability of an October Federal Reserve hike fell to 19%, offering relief for liquidity and crypto participation. Overall, lower near-term tightening expectations support Bitcoin and Ethereum, but high yields, energy costs and a strong dollar keep broader market participation selective.

Bitcoin trades near $83,412 in a constructive but consolidating daily structure, with RSI at 53 showing balanced momentum. Immediate support lies around $83,200-$83,300, while $83,600-$84,100 forms resistance. Holding support could preserve buyer control; losing it may expose $82,400-$82,700. Futures traders should monitor volume, open interest, and funding for directional confirmation.

Ethereum trades near $2,533 in a range-bound daily structure, while longer-term moving averages continue to support the broader setup. Immediate support lies at $2,505, followed by $2,480. Resistance sits near $2,575 and the psychological $2,600 level. Holding support may preserve stability, while sustained activity above resistance could further strengthen momentum.

ICP trades near $3.46, remaining above all major daily moving averages, while RSI around 60 shows controlled momentum. The $3.22-$3.30 area provides support, followed by $3.20-$3.25. Buyers face resistance around $3.50-$3.60; rejection there could produce short-term consolidation during coming sessions.

Global markets ended firmer as US equities advanced, led by the Dow's 0.83% gain, while the VIX fell 3.70%, signaling calmer investor sentiment. Asian trading remained mixed: the Sensex rose 1.23% and Hang Seng gained 0.77%, offsetting South Korea's 1.91% decline. Gold added 0.43%, while oil fell 1.70%, easing inflation concerns. Stronger equities, lower volatility and reduced energy pressure create supportive conditions for continued capital participation across Bitcoin, Ethereum and broader crypto markets globally today.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $21.1 million in daily net inflows, while Ethereum ETFs posted $56.1 million in net outflows, extending their withdrawal streak to nine sessions. Bitcoin traded near $83,400, while Ethereum held around $2,533, showing a mixed response to institutional activity. Bitcoin's modest inflow supported stability but did not trigger a sharp gain. ETF flows may not immediately lift prices because profit-taking, exchange supply, derivatives positioning, macro uncertainty and resistance near key levels can absorb fresh institutional demand."
