Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment improved after reports of an Iran ceasefire helped keep BTC trading above the $70,000 level, though analysts noted the rally is becoming more cautious. At the same time, ETF-flow coverage pointed to an uneven recovery with BTC holding near $72K, even as some older whales reportedly sold roughly $271M worth of BTC—selling that hasn’t derailed the move but has tempered upside enthusiasm.
