Bitcoin Tops $71,000 as Oil Retreats and Trump Signals Iran Conflict Could End Soon

Traders now look to U.S. inflation data to gauge whether gains can hold.

Overview

  • Bitcoin rebounded from a weekend low near $65,000 to trade above $70,000, briefly reaching about $71,100 as risk sentiment improved.
  • Crude prices fell from near $120 to roughly $90 per barrel after the president suggested the Iran conflict could be over soon, easing inflation fears and lifting equities and crypto.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $568 million in net inflows last week, taking cumulative inflows above $55 billion and providing a steady institutional bid.
  • Derivatives positioning reset with estimated leverage ratios falling and futures open interest declining, while more than $115 million in shorts were liquidated during the rebound.
  • On‑chain data show a realized‑price gap around $89,000 and short‑term holders selling at a loss, leaving a supply overhang as markets await CPI and the Fed for direction.
