Bitcoin had previously fallen to around $66,000 as oil price spikes unsettled Asian stock markets and dampened risk appetite. As tensions appeared to ease after President Trump\u2019s remarks on the potential near-term end of the Iran war, Bitcoin recovered in tandem with other risk assets.<\/p>\n
In Asian trading on Tuesday, Bitcoin was quoted around $70,092\u2013$70,160, up about 1.5% on the day. Ethereum also advanced, trading in the $2,047\u2013$2,049 range, a gain of approximately 0.6%. Solana moved higher as well, changing hands around $86.60\u2013$86.68, up about 0.5%.<\/p>\n
Analysts highlighted that Bitcoin\u2019s price action during the period of Iran war-related volatility underscored its strong correlation with broader risk sentiment. The cryptocurrency\u2019s recovery tracked the improvement in market mood as geopolitical fears moderated.<\/p>\n
The shift in risk appetite coincided with a notable reversal in oil prices. After spiking above $100 per barrel, oil retreated to roughly $88\u2013$89 per barrel. This move helped restore confidence across risk assets, easing earlier concerns that elevated energy prices could further unsettle financial markets.<\/p>\n
Asian equity benchmarks reflected the renewed risk-on tone. The Nikkei rose 2.67%, the KOSPI jumped 5.52%, and the Hang Seng gained 1.87%, mirroring the rebound seen in major cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
Interest-rate expectations also appeared stable despite the recent oil shock. Data from the Polymarket prediction market indicated a 98.8% implied probability of no change in Federal Reserve rates at the March meeting, suggesting that market participants broadly anticipate the Fed will hold policy steady in the near term.<\/p>\n
