Geopolitical De-Escalation Boosts Sentiment
Investors are piling into risk assets following news of a two-week ceasefire agreement. The deal involves Iran, the U.S., and Israel. President Donald Trump announced the truce on Tuesday. He described the deal as a “total and complete victory.” This news relieved pressure on global markets and lowered oil prices.
Bitcoin Surges Past Key Levels
The ceasefire news triggered a sharp rally in the crypto market. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) surged 4.13% to $71,683.27 over the past 24 hours. As a vertically integrated data center and Bitcoin miner, IREN often tracks major cryptocurrency price shifts.
Caution Remains Despite Truce
While markets soared, Tehran offered a more measured tone. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated, “Our fingers are on the trigger; any mistake by the enemy will be met with a full-scale response.”
