According to reports, driven by the weekend rally, Bitcoin surged to $74,157 in early Asian trading on Monday, hitting a recent high before falling back to around $73,978, up approximately 3.1% in 24 hours and 9.1% over the past week. This increase comes as tensions between the US and Iran enter the third week, with geopolitical tensions escalating and causing global market volatility, Bitcoin continues to show strong performance. In addition, options market data shows that once the price approaches the $75,000 level, market makers who sold call options may be forced to buy Bitcoin for hedging, potentially amplifying the price increase.
Analysts point out that Bitcoin's rise is more driven by macroeconomic factors rather than the war itself. Expectations of high oil prices, slowing economic growth, and expanding fiscal deficits may lead to changes in liquidity conditions, benefiting crypto assets. At the same time, on-chain indicators show that long-term holders continue to hold, with the long-dormant Bitcoin Days Destroyed reaching a near three-year low, indicating a depletion of selling pressure in the market.
