The stock market and the crypto market both shot up on Monday after Trump announced that he was having very productive talks with the Iran government over the situation in the Middle East. Bitcoin has been slipping in recent days as the war there escalated, but now it is at $71,634 (BTC/USD) and climbing.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin had fallen to a low of $67.4K on Sunday, its lowest point since early March, and selling pressure intensified for the crypto market. The pressure was the direct result of intensifying conflict in the Middle East, as Qatar was drawn into the war after an attack on its oil facilities. Rising tensions resulted in the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil and gas shipping lane for the region.

Bitcoin Likely to Gain Renewed Strength

Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin has been moving from one gain to the next and holding onto much of its progress. It is only in the last few days that it started to falter, and we suspect that the coin has regained much of its strength from the middle of 2025. Analysts agree that Bitcoin’s downward spiral in late 2025 and early 2026 has exhausted itself and that the coin is primed for explosive growth this year.

As fighting stops in Iran and the surrounding areas, this could be the chance to Bitcoin to surge much higher. We are already seeing an increase of more than 4% and climbing movement from the coin and the wider cryptocurrency market as the new week begins. Ethereum (ETH) is up nearly 5%, and Solana (SOL) has gained 4.74% since the previous day. There is bullish momentum across the market, and similar increases are taking place on the stock market.

The current global environment is perfect for Bitcoin to move much higher. The coin only recently started to lose its upward momentum, so it should be able to regain it fast. While today’s surge may be the biggest one for the week, it is likely that Bitcoin will move higher throughout the week if fighting remains stopped in Iran and the surrounding region. We could see a move to $80K as soon as this week if the positive factors continue to hold.
