Trump says Pakistan-mediated ceasefire extension request, but conditions are tough: Iran must first submit a unified plan before continuing talks. Iran explicitly refuses to participate in the April 22 negotiations, stating that the U.S. violated the ten-point framework agreement in the first round of Islamabad talks. Adding to this, Trump's previous strong warning that Iran might be bombed, and Vance's trip to Pakistan still undecided, this ceasefire seems more like a "life extension," extremely fragile and liable to be torn apart by sudden events.
Market reactions are also typical: once the news broke, risk appetite warmed, BTC broke through $76,000, with approximately $260 million in liquidations across the network, including about $171 million in short positions, clearly driven by "news-driven rally + short covering," accelerating the move. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil briefly surged to $93.68 (+3.65%) before slightly retreating, indicating that funds are trading both the optimistic sentiment of "ceasefire extension" and still hedging against the tail risk of "negotiation breakdown/restart of conflict."
Next, focus on three key points: whether negotiations can restart and provide an actionable timeline; whether oil prices will strengthen again (often indicating rising geopolitical risk); and whether BTC can retest and stabilize after breaking through, or if it will more likely follow a "liquidity squeeze → profit-taking" retracement path.
