thebalanced.newsBitcoin Hits Three-Month High on US-Iran Deal Optimism Before Pullback
Bitcoin surged to a three-month high near $82,700 amid reports of a potential US-Iran peace agreement easing geopolitical tensions and energy market concerns. This optimism boosted investor confidence, triggering a short squeeze with over $242 million in bearish liquidations. However, Bitcoin later retreated to around $80,000 as doubts about the deal's progress emerged. Broader markets, including stocks and oil prices, also reflected these shifts, with investors closely watching key support levels and upcoming US economic data.
