Bitcoin Rockets Past $81K Amid Geopolitical Tensions Easing
Bitcoin's price surged above $81,000 on geopolitical tensions easing between the US and Iran, pushing its market cap over $1.62 trillion.
This rally triggered a massive short squeeze, liquidating over $415 million in short positions across crypto derivatives.
Despite this strong rebound, analysts warn that Bitcoin faces resistance near $83,000 and could fall into a 'bull trap' without sustained buying.
The price action highlights Bitcoin's growing role as an inflation hedge amid ongoing global uncertainties.
