While the cryptocurrency markets are gaining strong upward momentum following the ceasefire announcement by Donald Trump, uncertainties and misinformation continue to trigger high volatility.

The news of a two-week temporary ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump for the Middle East has almost created a festival atmosphere in the crypto world. Following this announcement made about a day ago, markets quickly turned green, and investor risk appetite increased. However, behind this positive picture, questions about the terms of the ceasefire, which countries are involved in the agreement, and the status of critical points like the Strait of Hormuz still remain fresh.

According to Santiment data, this market activity has directly reflected on social media volumes. Especially, a 24.54% increase in social engagement on Bitcoin (BTC) indicates that all investor attention is focused on the news flow. Although Trump’s statement initially triggered a “buy the news” reaction, conflicting reports suggest that the process has turned more into a “buy the rumor” event.

Sharp Rise in Crypto Assets and Expectation of Volatility
In the overall upward wave in the markets, some altcoins attracted attention with their performance. Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies led the way with Zcash (ZEC) soaring by 23%, while Ethereum (ETH) and Bittensor (TAO) gained 7% each. Additionally, Near Protocol (NEAR) increased by 10%, and Aave (AAVE) rose by 8%, supporting the positive market sentiment.

Experts warn that the next 13 days will be quite volatile. Doubts about whether the ceasefire will be permanent and misinformation on social media could cause sudden price fluctuations. During this period, it is very important for investors to closely monitor open position data and global developments.
