Ethereum analysis: crypto remains resilient despite global risk-off shock
Sellers are pushing in crypto today as oil rallies almost 30% and markets crash, but crypto buyers seem to be absorbing so far today.
Ethereum futures are trading near $1,986, stabilizing after the recent pullback from the $2,100 area.
This stabilization is happening under a very unusual macro backdrop. The futures market opened the new trading week on March 9, 2026, and global markets immediately reacted to the ongoing war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
The reaction across asset classes has been dramatic:
S&P 500 futures (ES): about -1.9%
Nasdaq futures (NQ): about -2.5%
Dow futures (YM): about -2.1%
Russell 2000 futures (RTY): about -3.8%
At the same time, crude oil futures surged nearly +28%, reflecting the market’s pricing of geopolitical risk and potential supply disruptions.
FX option expiries for 9 March 10am New York cut
AUD/USD at the 0.7000 level. The pair managed to stave off a daily close below the figure level last week but the pressure is mounting amid an even bigger spike in oil prices to start the week. The expiries don’t tie to any technical significance but could play a role in keeping price action hanging in there before rolling off later in the day.
The dollar and broader sentiment are both largely tied to oil prices right now. And that in turn is driven by headlines affecting the market amid the US-Iran conflict.

Forex Market Snapshot
I am not sure what to say about a forex market trying to follow the price of crude oil that spiked 30% in one day to its high (91.42 => 119.41) and then retraced 19% in the same day (119.41 => 96.34) before bouncing back above USD100 (last 101.80)
In any case,
