Bitcoin recovered to around $74,000 after President Donald Trump announced the end of the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which had caused significant geopolitical tension and market volatility since early April. The blockade's end eased fears that had pushed Bitcoin down from mid-$73,000 to near $71,000 and caused oil prices to spike. Traders quickly unwound the 'war premium' built into crypto and oil markets, shifting focus back to broader economic factors like ETF flows and supply dynamics. The lifting of the blockade marks a potential turning point for Bitcoin to move beyond headline-driven volatility and refocus on domestic policy and institutional demand.
