Bitcoin price has approached $76,000 for the third consecutive day, driven by easing geopolitical tensions following a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and optimistic signals of a potential Iran deal. This improved risk appetite boosted global markets, including U.S. equities hitting record highs, which in turn supported Bitcoin. Traders face strong resistance between $75,900 and $76,300, with heavy sell orders and short positions creating a key breakout zone. Increased activity in Bitcoin futures, including a rise in open interest and liquidations, indicates heightened short-term pressure and a mild short squeeze. A decisive move above this resistance could open the path toward $80,000, while failure to break through may keep Bitcoin range-bound. The market closely watches Bitcoin's test of its 100-day moving average, a level that has previously triggered pullbacks, making the current price action critical for trend direction.
