Bitcoin Hits $78,348 as Strait of Hormuz Reopening Ignites Global Relief Rally


Bitcoin surged past $78,000, reaching an intraday high of $78,348. The rally pushed its 24-hour gains to 4.1% and its total market cap to $1.56 trillion.

Key Takeaways:

Bitcoin hit $78,348 as Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, marking its highest price since Feb. 4.

Global markets surged as Brent crude fell below $89, wiping out $810 million in crypto short positions.

Future stability remains at risk as the IRGC warns that the Trump administration’s blockades may void the deal.

Geopolitical Shifts Drive Market Sentiment

Bitcoin swept past the $78,000 mark—the first time it has done so since Feb. 4—as markets reacted positively to Iran’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open,” at least for the remaining period of the ceasefire. According to Bitstamp data, the cryptocurrency not only tapped the threshold but went on to reach an intraday high of $78,348.

Although it retreated to just under that level immediately after, bitcoin’s jump brought its 24-hour gains to 4.1% and lifted its market capitalization to nearly $1.56 trillion. Since the beginning of April, bitcoin has risen by more than 14%, and by more than 20% since the start of the war in the Middle East.

While the top cryptocurrency spent much of February mired in range-bound trading, struggling to breach the psychological $70,000 resistance level, the narrative shifted in April. The primary catalyst has been a persistent stream of reports hinting at a diplomatic breakthrough between Washington and Tehran. This momentum culminated with the announced ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon—a pivotal concession long sought by Iranian negotiators—which appeared to pave the way for a broader U.S.-Iran accord.

The reported restoration of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz indeed acted as a

Сенат одобрил 10-дневное продление действия FISA после того, как бунт в Палате представителей сорвал более долгосрочное соглашение

В пятницу Сенат принял 10-дневное продление FISA до 2026 года путем голосования, сохранив программу слежки в силе до 30 апреля после того, как блок из 20 республиканцев Палаты представителей за ночь сорвал как пятилетнее, так и 18-месячное продление, переговоры по которому спикер Джонсон и Белый дом вели в течение недели.

В пятницу утром Сенат одобрил временное продление FISA до 2026 года путем голосования, обеспечив Конгрессу время до 30 апреля после ночного обвала на Капитолийском холме, который разрушил две отдельные попытки продления на длительный срок. Законопроект будет направлен президенту Трампу на подписание до истечения срока действия программы в понедельник.

Раздел 702 позволяет американским разведывательным агентствам, включая ЦРУ, АНБ и ФБР, собирать иностранные коммуникации без ордера, в том числе коммуникации американцев, контактирующих с целевыми иностранцами. Представители разведки назвали это самым важным инструментом национальной безопасности страны. «FISA — это важнейший инструмент национальной безопасности в разведывательной сфере», — заявил сенатор Ангус Кинг из штата Мэн, член Комитета Сената по разведке. «Он составляет очень большую часть ежедневного брифинга президента».

Что рухнуло за ночь

В четверг вечером Джонсон был уверен, что сделка уже заключена. Незадолго до полуночи лидеры Республиканской партии представили пересмотренный вариант продления на пять лет, призванный заручиться поддержкой защитников конфиденциальности. Он провалился. Затем они попытались продлить действие на 18 месяцев без изменений, как того требовал Трамп. Это также провалилось в процедурном голосовании со счетом 197 против 228, при этом 20 республиканцев присоединились к большинству демократов, выступивших против.

What Should the Best Bitcoin (BTC) – Gold Allocation Be Like? Wall Street Giant Citi Reveals!

The rivalry between Bitcoin ($BTC) and gold has been ongoing for a long time. Some analysts advocate for Bitcoin, others for gold, while some argue that both should be included in portfolios.

At this point, Citi, one of the most important names on Wall Street, also states that both $BTC and gold should be included in portfolios.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders said that a portfolio allocation of gold and Bitcoin is better than a traditional portfolio mix.

According to CNBC, a study by Citi found that adding gold and Bitcoin together to portfolios has increased the efficiency of bond and stock portfolios over the past 10 years.

According to this research, combining gold and Bitcoin in a portfolio increased returns without increasing risk.

In this context, Citi analyst Alex Saunders stated that investors perform better by holding small amounts of both gold and Bitcoin, rather than preferring one over the other.

“A 5% investment in gold significantly increases portfolio efficiency. Dividing this investment between gold and Bitcoin further enhances performance.”

The Citi analyst concluded by adding that a mixed allocation of gold and Bitcoin has been helpful during bullish periods in bond markets and during downturns driven by fiscal concerns and rising inflation risks.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley bet big on Bitcoin. 'Wall Street has literally arrived'

If Wall Street's embrace of crypto has happened in fits and starts, this week that all changed.

Not only are some of the bluest-blooded banks and financial institutions diving into digital assets, but they're iterating products for their more conservative customers.

Goldman Sachs, the $3.6 trillion asset management firm, finally filed a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Unlike BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, which is officially the largest crypto ETF on the market, Goldman's product has a unique twist.

Namely, the fund rarely touches any actual Bitcoin.

Instead, the Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income ETF is comprised mostly of other spot Bitcoin ETFs. It then sells call options on those funds to offer investors a steady yield.

Bitcoin stalls below $76,000 as sell wall caps rally despite rising derivatives activity

Bitcoin is testing $76,000 for a third day, trading at $75,440 as bullish traders continue to chip away at $450 million of sell orders between $75,900 and $76,300, CoinGlass data shows.

The orders will be placed by traders who are either attempting to short the range-high in expectation of a reversion to around $68,000, and those defending against a breakout with liquidation risk above.

U.S. equities surged to record highs on Thursday as the war in Iran appears to be winding down following a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
