🟠 BTC nears $75,000: Iran deal hopes to trigger a short squeeze

Bitcoin surged to nearly $75,000 at one point, reaching its highest level in about a month. The rally was strong, with derivatives markets playing the main driving role—a wave of short liquidations quickly pushed the price higher.
📊 What happened
— Cryptocurrency liquidations over the past 24 hours: $530 million, impacting about 177,000 traders
— Most occurred within the last 12 hours
— About $425M of the liquidations came from shorts (, mainly BTC and ETH)
— Total cryptocurrency market cap rose to $2.6 trillion—a one-month high
— ETH also rose: approximately +7.5%, to about $2,380
🧠 Why now
The main driver is the hope that the US and Iran are moving closer to reaching an agreement, and that tensions may ease. When the market feels that “risk pressure” is weakening, capital often flows back into higher-risk assets—including cryptocurrencies.
⚠️ A key detail
After BTC hit $75K , it quickly fell back and was pressured downward—there was a large amount of selling there. This is also why some traders believe this is a short squeeze at a resistance level, rather than a clean breakout just yet.
📌 Conclusion
This move is strong, but the next question is simple: can BTC hold above $75,000? If it can’t, the price may return to a range-bound trading pattern again. If it can, then the continuation of the uptrend becomes more likely. Keep key price levels on your screen and watch for Iran-related headlines.
