According to Coinbase data from TradingView, Bitcoin gained approximately 9.9% over this short period. Experts point to easing geopolitical risks as a primary driver for the rebound, with analysts highlighting positive sentiment after prospects for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Thomas Perfumo, global economist at Kraken.com/” rel=”nofollow noopener noreferrer”>Kraken, explained by email that “Bitcoin’s rebound today appears to reflect geopolitical de-escalation in the Middle East. As a macro asset, Bitcoin’s price action often front-runs pivots in market risk sentiment.” Perfumo also cited consistent demand from institutional buyers, such as corporate investments from companies like MicroStrategy and ongoing fundraising by new treasury vehicles. He added that “strong and consistent inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs, persistent institutional demand drives momentum whenever sell pressure abates.”

Brett Sifling, a wealth manager at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, added that declining geopolitical tensions due to the Israel-Iran ceasefire helped spark renewed interest in riskier assets like Bitcoin. “There are quite a few reasons why Bitcoin bounced back and rallied this week,” he said. Sifling also pointed to signals from the Federal Reserve about possible future interest rate cuts and a more favorable stance toward crypto-related banking, as well as legislative developments such as the GENIUS act.

Sifling observed that BTC ETFs have seen ten consecutive weeks of positive inflows, showing continuous institutional interest. Dom Kwok, cofounder and COO at educational platform EasyA, mentioned that broader market anxiety has faded, especially after peace signals from U.S. leadership regarding the Middle East. He noted the quick recovery after Bitcoin briefly dropped below $100,000 during the initial rise in tensions.

Kwok indicated that President Trump’s position signals less risk of U.S. involvement in the regional conflict, supporting investor confidence. He commented that while Bitcoin volatility often makes headlines, the overall trend and resilience are more important to long-term holders.

Observers emphasize that while sharp declines can occur, these usually represent temporary moves against an otherwise steady market trajectory. Bitcoin maintaining values above $100,000 before the dip was viewed as a sign of underlying strength, and the recent rebound further supports this outlook.
