Bitcoin on Tuesday confirmed its impact on the ongoing US-Iran War. The Flahship cryptocurrency surged nearly 4% from the $68,000 USD region to $71,000 USD, showing increased buyer interest after a 19 March close. 

Currently trading at $70,900, the Bitcoin trading volume surged 41%. This happened when Trump started talks toward a ceasefire, though there is no official confirmation. 

On the other hand, Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have now agreed with the United States to grant access to their Air bases. 

The impact was also seen on traditional markets. Gold moved to a record daily drop to 1.5%, and S&P futures fell 0.5%. European shares opened with 0.8% drop, Brent crude jumped 4%, and US Strength was seen at 0.3%. 

It’s now important to look at both technical and fundamental factors for BTC/USD. 

Why is BTCUSD up today?

Liquidation data showed the clearance of short positions in the opening session, removing the selling pressure. The increased volume and the metric relative volume indicator at 1.36 signal the rally isn’t weak. 

What does the BTC/USD Chart say?

Bitcoin USD on the chart shows signs of consolidation ahead before a bull ride above the $74K zone. RSI at 45.8 shows the asset in neither the overbought nor the oversold zone. MACD leans bullish, the line is above the signal, but the histogram is positive.
