Bitcoin traded above $69,000 at press time on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump pushed back his deadline for Iran from Monday to Tuesday night, while continuing to warn of possible strikes on critical infrastructure.
Trump said the U.S. would “blow everything up” if Iran fails to reach a deal by 01:00 GMT on Wednesday. The latest extension represents the fourth adjustment to Washington’s timeline for potential military action, even as the Strait of Hormuz remains shut.
Iran has dismissed reports of ongoing peace negotiations and issued threats toward neighboring oil-producing nations within OPEC. The country’s officials have also moved to challenge the petrodollar system by allowing select oil shipments to pass in exchange for tolls paid in Bitcoin or euros. The development coincides with a pickup in spot demand for Bitcoin seen on Sunday.
Oil markets have reacted sharply. Brent crude oil settled above $109 per barrel on Thursday, and traders are bracing for further volatility when markets reopen. Elevated energy prices and prolonged geopolitical stress could weigh on risk assets, potentially limiting Bitcoin’s near-term upside.
Bitcoin crossed the $69,000 threshold for the first time since early April, climbing about 2.75% during Monday’s early session. The asset reached an intraday peak near $69,321 before easing slightly to around $69,100.
CoinGlass data cited in the report showed over $104.5 million in Bitcoin short positions liquidated in 24 hours out of a $196 million total crypto market liquidation. Such liquidations often accelerate upward moves, as forced buybacks from short sellers create additional demand and reinforce momentum.
If Bitcoin manages to hold above the reclaimed $69,000 level, the next resistance range for the bellwether asset lies between $70,000 and $72,000.
