Bitcoin nears 3-week low as oil heads higher on Iran strike woes

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Bitcoin (BTC) risked losing key support at $82,500 after Thursday’s Wall Street open as oil prices gained over concerns of US-Iran military action.

Key points: Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD dropping to $81,000 on Bitstamp — its lowest since Sept.

Citing a Pentagon official and a source familiar with the matter, NBC News reported that the US could be preparing for fresh military strikes on Iran.

This sent oil prices higher on the day, with WTI crude reaching $93.20 per barrel, its highest since Oct.

Speaking to supporters at a rally in San Antonio, Texas, US president Donald Trump said that Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was making progress with Iran on a peace deal, while acknowledging little personal interest in a diplomatic outcome.

“I think the deal isn’t really something that I want to do, but they’re willing to offer us anything to stop,” he said, quoted by the Independent, seeing an end to the conflict “very soon.” The US 30-year bond yield set a new 24-year high of 5.73% on the day before dropping to 5.65% as markets stayed nervous about the war’s impact on fuel prices and inflation.  Comments by Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller added pressure to yields as he saw the need for further interest-rate hikes to tame inflation.

“If the economic data continue to come in as expected, I anticipate additional hikes to support a timelier return of inflation to our 2 percent goal.

But there is some flexibility about when those hikes will occur,” he said in a speech at a Central Bank of Turkey forum in Istanbul.
