Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as traders appeared to buy the dip near key technical levels, with bulls defending the $60K area while markets digested US–Iran headlines. Despite broader caution flagged by CoinDesk—options traders paying up for downside protection as BTC hovered near 2024 lows—the modest rebound suggests short-term support held even as sentiment stayed defensive.
