Bitcoin reclaimed $71K as easing U.S.-Iran tensions revived risk appetite across markets. $BTC RSI rose to 37 from oversold levels, signaling recovery, though sentiment remains weak. Resistance sits at $74.4K-$78.2K, while $59.9K-$62.5K remains the key support zone.

According to Lookonchain, Garrett Jin, a former Ethereum [$ETH] whale who recently exited all his $ETH positions, has accumulated over 71,000 Binance Coin [$BNB], worth nearly $50 million.

From a technical standpoint, traders cannot rule out the former, with the $BNB/$ETH pair on…
