Bitcoin climbed to $71,318 (BTC/USD) on Tuesday after positive news from the White House indicated that the Iran war may soon be over. Oil prices slipped while stocks became bullish in a tumultuous day for markets and the U.S. economy.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin is now up 3.31% for the day and more than 5% over the last week. The coin’s upward momentum is part of a wider cryptocurrency market surge today that is supported by strong performances from the U.S. stock market as investors look forward to fighting between Iran and the United States drawing to a close. President Donald Trump suggested that the war might be over soon, and prices across all markets have fluctuated wildly as a result.

Bitcoin ETFs Report Massive Inflow

It is not just Bitcoin proper that is climbing today. Bitcoin ETFs reported a $167 million inflow. This has countered the outflow balance from last week and left Bitcoin ETFs looking positive for now. As ETFs perform well, regular Bitcoin tends to improve too.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs are now in positive territory and are supporting a crypto market upswing that pushed XRP (XRP) up 3.85% today  while Dogecoin (DOGE) jumped 7.85%. One of the biggest gainers for Tuesday is Stellar (XLM), which increased by 10.85% today, and many others gained 2% or more by the early afternoon.

However, these gains may not be held for long. The market could correct later in the day because the situation in Iran is changing fast. Even though Trump suggested the war could be over soon, Iran still has made no moves to back down. They escalated the crisis this week, actually, when an Iranian missile destroyed an oil tanker on the Gulf of Oman. Reports of the war closing off soon may be exaggerated or may simply be unrealistic hopes.

Bitcoin was already climbing on Monday, but the demand increased Tuesday by 8.3% with $53.1 billion in trade volume. The market is bullish now, but investors should not anticipate a lengthy bull rally for now. Bitcoin could easily hit $73K by the end of the day but may settle back down on Wednesday close to where it is now.
