Bitcoin Price Climbs Toward $75,000 as US-Iran Strait of Hormuz Tensions Trigger Short Squeeze
Bitcoin pushed toward the $75,000 level on Monday, April 13, 2026, as traders covered short positions following President Trump’s order to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, sending the price from a morning low of $70,741 to intraday highs above $74,900.

Key Takeaways:

Bitcoin climbed toward $75,000 on April 13 after millions in short positions were liquidated within hours.

U.S.-Iran Strait of Hormuz tensions drove traders back into $BTC, testing the top of a two-month consolidation range.

Analysts set $75,000 to $80,000 as near-term targets, but pre-April 15 tax selling and oil-driven inflation fears remain risks.

$BTC Tests 2-Month Consolidation High Near $75,000

The move played out quickly. Within hours of the blockade announcement, millions in short positions were liquidated as buyers stepped in at support near $70,000, accelerating the climb. Funding rates had turned negative in the days prior, a signal that short positioning had grown crowded heading into the weekend.

Trump ordered the Strait of Hormuz closure after ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed over the weekend. The Strait is a critical passage for global oil shipments. The news initially pressured risk assets before traders shifted toward bitcoin and other hedges.

The price action tested the upper boundary of bitcoin‘s two-month consolidation range, which has held roughly between $65,000 and $75,000 since February. The range represents a period of choppy trading that followed bitcoin’s all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025.

Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have also seen renewed inflows during March and April, providing some demand beneath the leverage-driven moves. Institutional buying through ETF vehicles has been, at least one reason, support near $68,000 to

EUR/NZD slipped lower as markets reacted to the breakdown in U.S.-Iran peace talks over the weekend.. Oil prices surged sharply, with WTI jumping 8.8% after the U.S. announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy chokepoint. The spike in energy prices intensified inflation concerns and added pressure on global growth expectations. Commodities and equities rebounded, with gold, silver, and global equity indices recovering part of their earlier losses as investors reassessed the immediate escalation risks. Immediate resistance is located at 2.0113(50%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 2.0307 (Higher BB). Immediate support is seen at 2.0016 (SMA 20) and break below could take the pair towards 1.9875(38.2%fib). Recommendation: Good to sell around 2.0050 with stop loss of 2.0120and target price of 1.9950Gold is meant to be a 'safe haven' in uncertain times.

Gold prices edged lower on Monday as investors rotated into riskier assets, brushing off escalating Middle East tensions despite a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Renewed optimism around ongoing diplomatic efforts, even after weekend peace talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed following 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan, helped lift risk appetite across markets.Spot gold fell 0.1% to $4,745.13 per ounce, while gold futures declined 0.4% to $4,768.07 per ounce as of 15:55 ET. President Trump confirmed the blockade took effect at 10:00 ET, restricting vessels headed to or departing from Iranian ports, though the Pentagon clarified that ships transiting the strait without Iranian port stops would be permitted passage.Oil prices briefly surged past $100 per barrel before retreating, rekindling inflation concerns globally. U.S. consumer price data released Friday showed inflation accelerating sharply in March, driven primarily by war-related spikes in gasoline costs. The prospect of prolonged elevated oil prices has prompted some investors to scale back Federal Reserve rate cut expectations for 2026, with the CME FedWatch tool showing only a 27% probability of a December cut.Rising interest rate expectations have weighed heavily on gold, which offers no yield. The metal has lost over 10% since the conflict began in late February. A strengthening U.S. dollar, buoyed by safe-haven demand, has added further pressure by making gold costlier for international buyers.Analysts note that gold's traditional role as a crisis hedge appears to be weakening. Senior market analyst David Morrison of Trade Nation pointed out that the dollar-gold inverse relationship is currently dominating price action. Bulls are targeting a break above $4,800 to spark a sustained recovery, while bears eye a potential retest of $4,400 support.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncerta
