trades near $62,391 today, up 0.63% on the day and up 2.64% over the past week. The token remains sensitive to every fresh headline out of the Middle East.
Support holds near $60,000, with a firmer floor around $57,700. A daily close below $60,000 would open a path toward that lower zone. Resistance sits at $62,800 to $63,000, then $64,200, a level sellers have defended repeatedly this week.
Giving the market overview, Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst at Mudrex, stated, “Bitcoin is trading around the $62,000 level as renewed geopolitical tensions, following President Trump’s announcement ending the ceasefire, have pushed investors toward a risk-off stance. At the same time, Japan’s 10-year government bond yield has climbed to a 30-year high, prompting a broader rotation of capital across global markets.”
He further said, “Despite these headwinds and persistent inflation concerns, recorded $143 million in net inflows, providing support to prices. The $60,000 level now remains a critical support zone. A break below it could see Bitcoin retest its monthly low near $57,700. Investors should also watch upcoming US jobless claims data, which could influence the Fed’s next policy decision.”
Giving a clear picture of the market situation, the CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “BTC slipped to around $61.5K after Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire over. Both sides threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz oil route, pushing WTI crude above $75 and sending traders toward safer assets.
The turmoil raised odds of a September Fed rate hike, adding pressure on risk assets like crypto. $61K remains a crucial level, with traders expecting a reversal once talks resume. For now, geopolitics will drive short-term moves, with $60K support in focus.”
Meanwhile, Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst at Delta Exchange, said crypto markets are in a macro-led risk-off phase, “Bitcoin’s fall toward the $61,500 to $62,000 zone reflects pressure from US-Iran escalation, rising crude oil, higher bond yields, and Japan’s bond-market stress. The key concern is Bitcoin’s underperformance versus the Nasdaq, since equities attempted a recovery while BTC failed to reclaim $62,000 to $64,500, showing crypto-specific selling pressure.”
She continues stating that ETF flows are supportive but limited, with BTC spot ETFs seeing around $21.4 million of inflows and ETH ETFs around $26.9 million, concentrated mostly in BlackRock funds. A break below $60,000 can open downside toward $58,500 to $59,000. Gold is also capped despite geopolitical risk, as higher oil is reviving inflation concerns, keeping XAUT weak below $4,105 to $4,125 with $4,040 as immediate support.”
