Bitcoin price has risen about 3% to $79,143 after touching $79,325, even as conflicting U.S. and Iranian statements have kept the path toward a possible agreement unclear.<\/p>\n
\n Summary<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s recovery unfolded as U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Iran wanted to reach an agreement with Washington despite continued fighting in the region.<\/p>\n \u201cThe failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly,\u201d Trump wrote<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n Trump added that he would decide whether the United States engages with Tehran, although he said Washington was open to the idea. His comments introduced the possibility of renewed talks after months of military exchanges and repeated failures to secure a lasting agreement.<\/p>\n During the recovery, Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) first moved above $78,000 and reached $78,940 before extending its advance. A daily Binance chart on TradingView showed BTC opening at $76,842, falling to $76,388 and later reaching $79,325. The asset traded near $79,143 when the chart was captured, representing a 3% daily gain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n U.S. stocks also recovered from an earlier decline. Approximately $570 billion returned to equities within three hours after the market had erased more than $600 billion earlier in the session.<\/p>\n Technology stocks had faced additional pressure after executives from artificial intelligence companies called for slower development to address safety risks. The comments added another source of uncertainty for a sector that has carried a large share of recent U.S. equity gains.<\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s response showed that traders were willing to add risk after Trump raised the possibility of diplomacy. Iranian state media, however, rejected his claim that Tehran was seeking a quick agreement, leaving the market without confirmation from both governments.<\/p>\n LiveSquawk separately cited Iran\u2019s ILNA news agency as saying the United States had sought a \u201cphased\u201d agreement, based on information attributed to a Pakistani source. The report did not establish that Washington and Tehran had accepted final terms.<\/p>\n The diplomatic dispute has come while attacks involving Iran-aligned forces have placed additional pressure on oil production and shipping routes.<\/p>\n According to Reuters, Yemen\u2019s Iran-aligned Houthis launched missiles and drones at a military airbase in Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia. The group said it targeted aircraft hangars, radar equipment, runways and ammunition storage sites in response to Saudi strikes in Yemen.<\/p>\n In another attack, which Riyadh blamed on Iran-backed fighters in Iraq, Saudi Arabia\u2019s east-west pipeline was taken offline. The route allows oil exports to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, making it important while traffic through the strait remains restricted.<\/p>\n Traders told Reuters that an extended pipeline closure could affect as much as 4% of global oil supply. Brent crude rose more than 4% after the weekend before giving back part of the increase following Trump\u2019s comments. It later traded near $106 per barrel, while U.S. crude remained above $100.<\/p>\n For American consumers, Reuters reported that the average retail diesel price had reached a record above $6.23 per gallon. Sustained energy costs could feed inflation and complicate the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest-rate decision, creating a direct link between the conflict and the conditions facing U.S. Bitcoin investors.<\/p>\n As crypto.news previously reported<\/a>, Bitfinex analysts identified energy costs and real Treasury yields as restraints on Bitcoin. The analysts said an oil shock could keep inflation expectations elevated, while tighter monetary policy would reduce liquidity without resolving the loss of energy supply.<\/p>\n Oman had planned to host Iranian and Gulf officials for discussions over the future operation of the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi postponed the meeting \u201cin the interests of consensus,\u201d without announcing a replacement date.<\/p>\n Iran said Saudi Arabia had requested the delay. Tehran also published a list of 77 vessels that it said had breached its operating rules in the strait, warning that future violations could lead to fines, detention, or confiscation.<\/p>\n Technical readings show that Bitcoin has returned above the center of its daily Bollinger Bands but has not cleared the upper boundary.<\/p>\n The daily Bitcoin price chart placed the Bollinger Band midpoint near $78,521, with the upper band at approximately $81,035 and the lower band around $76,008. BTC\u2019s move above the midpoint gives buyers control of the immediate range, although the upper band and recent highs create resistance between $80,000 and $81,035.<\/p>\n A one-week CoinGlass liquidation heatmap shows the largest nearby concentration of leveraged positions just below $80,000. The brightest band appears around $79,900 to $80,000, making the area a possible target if buyers extend the advance.<\/p>\n Several smaller liquidation pools sit between roughly $80,200 and $80,700. A clean move through that region would bring the Bollinger Band ceiling near $81,035 into focus, followed by the larger $82,000 area identified in recent Bitfinex analysis.<\/p>\n Momentum remains less certain. The daily MACD line stood near 1,579, below its signal line around 2,211, while the histogram had fallen to approximately minus 631. Both MACD lines remained above zero, but the bearish crossover and red histogram bars showed that momentum had weakened after Bitcoin\u2019s sharp August rally.<\/p>\n Price action has also remained uneven since BTC first moved above $80,000. Buyers have defended pullbacks toward the mid-$76,000 area, yet several attempts to hold above $81,000 have failed. The current move has returned Bitcoin to the upper half of that range without confirming a breakout.<\/p>\n On the downside, the Bollinger midpoint near $78,521 forms the first technical support. Losing it would expose the $77,500 to $78,000 region, where the heatmap shows a series of smaller leveraged clusters.<\/p>\n The largest lower liquidity concentration sits around $76,000, close to the daily lower Bollinger Band. A sustained break below that zone could expose another pool near $75,000 to $75,400.<\/p>\n\n
