After hovering below its previous support at $7,000 for several hours yesterday, Bitcoin’s bulls were able to generate significant momentum that has allowed BTC to reclaim its position within the $7,000 region, and it appears that this upwards momentum is growing.<\/p>\n
This move coincided closely with news regarding a US airstrike on a top Iranian military official, which led both crude oil and gold to surge. Many investors have claimed that BTC\u2019s surge was rooted in this news, although it appears that there is another more technical factor behind this movement.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up roughly 5% at its current price<\/a> of $7,400, which marks a notable climb from its daily lows of $6,800 that were set at the bottom of yesterday\u2019s sell off.<\/p>\n It is important to note that Bitcoin\u2019s sharp surge from these lows did come about shortly after news broke regarding the successful airstrike on one of Iran\u2019s top military officials, although it still remains unclear as to whether or not the two events are truly related.<\/p>\n Scott Melker, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, explained in a tweet that he highly doubts that the latest Bitcoin rally is related to growing tensions between the US and Iran, explaining that a narrative is not needed to explain every single $400 movement.<\/p>\n \u201cI seriously doubt Iranians are running home to buy $BTC because of this incident. The notion is somewhat absurd, to be honest. You don\u2019t need a narrative for every $400 move,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I seriously doubt Iranians are running home to buy $BTC<\/a> because of this incident.
