News: The crypto market is showing mixed signals today. IMF Chief Christine Lagarde's call for global cryptocurrency regulation introduces a layer of uncertainty, potentially dampening short-term sentiment. However, Bitcoin is showing signs of a bounce-back, with some positive commentary from Lagarde herself regarding the transformative potential of crypto, albeit with a caveat on regulatory confidence. Additionally, positive sentiment is being generated by Bitcoin's utility in circumventing censorship, as seen with Telegram, and a bullish call on Bitcoin Cash from a crypto investment firm founder. These factors suggest a cautious but potentially upward-trending short-term outlook, balanced by the ongoing regulatory discussions.

Market Probabilities: 
Bull 45% | Base 35% | Bear 20%

Recommendations: 
Short-term: HOLD
Long-term: BUY
