The Dollar remains rather strong and might also continue its strength against other currencies.

Bitcoin is trading above the psychological level of USD 95,000 and despite the current retracement today might be on track to target the USD 100,000 price level. Ethereum keeps following suit while other altcoins are lagging behind for now. Meanwhile in Iran the situation seems to get more tense. Oil prices went higher yesterday but started to fade during late trading before the market closed. An indication of an imminent solution or easing of tensions in the conflict?
