  • Shorts accounted for $62.45 million, or approximately 64%, of all liquidations.
  • The price fluctuated between $75,000 and $77,000 amid geopolitical tensions.
  • Bitcoin seeks to reclaim the $76,000 resistance level after a significant acquisition by Strategy.

The market experienced high volatility as optimism from potential diplomatic resolutions between the U.S. and Iran briefly boosted bitcoin’s price before uncertainty led to a downturn. Traders are closely monitoring the psychological resistance level at $76,000 as geopolitical factors continue to influence market dynamics.

Despite a temporary rally reaching $76,944 due to diplomatic optimism, bitcoin’s value decreased by the end of the day due to geopolitical uncertainties and trader liquidations totaling nearly $97 million.(Source)
