The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), surged above $78,000 on Friday following positive news from the US and Iran. However, due to escalating military tensions between the US and Iran over the weekend, Bitcoin gave back its Friday gains and fell back to the $74,000 level.
Despite Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz, the US’s refusal to lift the blockade, the US firing on an Iranian merchant ship, and Iran’s announcement that it would not participate in a second round of talks with the US further increased uncertainty. This led to a decline in Bitcoin and the market.
Following these developments, Bitcoin fell to $74,000, gold dropped below $4,800 per ounce, and silver fell below $80 per ounce. In contrast, Brent oil rose above $95.
