Bitcoin has surged to a weekly high, defying a broader sell-off in traditional equity markets triggered by escalating Middle East tensions. While rising oil prices have pressured stocks, crypto-specific demand and a renewed safe-haven narrative are driving BTC higher.
Bitcoin surged past the $69,500 mark following a strong recovery in US equity markets and positive corporate earnings data. Increased clarity regarding US regulatory policy has further bolstered investor confidence, positioning bulls for a potential run at the $70,000 psychological resistance level.
