Bitcoin (BTC) regained the level of $ 106,000 on Monday after a short period of time to less than 98,500 dollars on Sunday – the first time in 45 days. Market anxiety has alleviated after US President Donald Trump announced a “ceasefire” between Israel and Iran. Traders now weigh whether Bitcoin can pay about $ 110,000 or if the negative risks are still exist.
Despite the volatility, the Bitcoin derivative market remained fixed. The price step sparked $ 193 million in the bitcoin bitcoin qualifiers, equivalent to 0.3 % of the total open future interest. The current $ 68 billion has not changed in the centers to benefit from Saturday.
A decrease of 4.4 % in the price of bitcoin over a period of 12 hours does not vow in particular by historical standards. Similar withdrawals occurred three times in the last 30 days. However, some merchants are concerned that the possibility of a long conflict in Iran can significantly affect the global economy, pushing investors to adopt a more cautious and risky situation.
Was Bitcoin miners affected by the conflict in the Middle East?
Some analysts have noticed a significant decrease in bitcoin fragmentation. Between Sunday and Thursday, the retail decreased by 8 %, as it decreased to 865.1 million Terhash in the second (T/s) from 943.6 million th/s. This sparked speculation about the possible disorders of mining operations in the region.
Some industry analysts have long managed that unauthorized mining operations in Iran can paint up to 2 gigawatts of electricity, although these allegations are still largely not limited.
It is almost impossible to estimate the amount of mining capacity inside Iran due to the lack of transparent data. However, analysts emphasized that sudden and sharp declines in retail are not necessarily unusual.
Daniel Patten indicated, for example, that these fluctuations are often linked to temporary cuts in electricity production within the United States. During harsh weather periods, bitcoin miners often face strong incentives to temporarily close operations.
A recent case occurred on April 22, when Bitcoin decreased by 27 % after extensive storms in Texas and Akllahoma. These weather events included heavy rains, a large cold, and at least 17 of the confirmed hurricanes, all of which were disrupted by the local energy network, and thus mining activity.
Traders are more confident in interest rate discounts at the Federal Reserve

According to the Fedwatch tool for the CME group, the implicit possibility that the Federal Reserve maintains the current interest rate by 4.25 % to November to 8.4 %, a decrease from 17.1 % just one week ago. On the other hand, the probability of price rates increased to 3.75 % or less by November to 53 %, up from 38 % during the same period.
The bet that Bitcoin will rise to only $ 110,000 in the hope of canceling the escalation in the Middle East may be premature. However, the rapid bounce of more than $ 100,000 indicates that the institutional interest in Bitcoin is still firm, even among global tensions.
