Bitcoin briefly climbed to $67,210, its highest since June, driven by eased geopolitical tensions after US President Trump announced progress in Middle East talks and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This sparked a market rally with oil prices dropping and crypto market cap rising over 2%. On-chain data shows major holders stopped selling and started accumulating, with large withdrawals from exchanges indicating long-term holding. Institutional buying, including Strategy's recent $100M BTC purchase, supports the rally. However, analysts remain divided on whether Bitcoin has truly bottomed, with some warning of potential dips while others see the rally as a recovery sign amid easing risks.
