Bitcoin price swings as CME futures open amid Iran tensions pressuring crypto markets.

Bitcoin briefly surged to $82,400 before dropping below $81,000 as CME futures and U.S. equity markets reopened, causing volatile trading. The price movement coincided with geopolitical tensions involving Iran, which boosted oil and the U.S. dollar, pressuring crypto and risk assets. Crypto benchmarks like the CoinDesk 100 fell, reflecting broader market caution. Despite upcoming U.S. inflation data, the market shows calm with steady futures open interest and growing demand for bullish exposure in certain tokens.
