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.

Australia's central bank is treading carefully on monetary policy, with Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser admitting he lacks full confidence that current interest rates are calibrated correctly to bring inflation under control — and now, a new geopolitical wildcard has entered the equation.Speaking at a New York event on Monday, Hauser acknowledged that while the RBA remains firmly focused on returning Australia's headline inflation — currently sitting at 3.7% as of February — back within its 2%–3% target band, the escalating Iran conflict introduces fresh uncertainty that policymakers cannot ignore."We're going to have to monitor this new shock pretty carefully," Hauser said, noting that the war's impact on global economic activity could cut both ways. On one hand, surging fuel prices driven by geopolitical tensions could push headline inflation toward an estimated 5% in the second quarter. On the other, a broader slowdown in economic activity could dampen growth and complicate the RBA's tightening path.The RBA has already raised its benchmark interest rate twice in 2025, lifting it to 4.1% and reversing two of the three cuts made the previous year. Despite this tightening, consumer spending continues to grow — albeit sluggishly — while Australian businesses are increasingly struggling to pass rising costs on to customers, a sign that demand-side pressures may be easing.Hauser stressed the importance of monitoring medium-term inflation dynamics rather than reacting solely to short-term price spikes. The central bank is watching consumption trends closely as a key indicator of economic health.Financial markets currently price in a 65% probability of an additional 25-basis-point rate hike in May, with rates expected to peak near 4.6% before the year ends — reflecting how finely balanced Australia's economic outlook remains.Gold is meant

The US politics story with the most direct impact on American households went live Monday morning when the Navy blockade of Iranian ports took effect at 10 AM ET, pushing Brent crude above $103, WTI to $104, and keeping average US gasoline above $4.12 per gallon at a moment when March inflation has already confirmed a jump to 3.3 percent. Summary The blockade went live after 21 hours of US-Iran talks in Islamabad collapsed Saturday night, with VP Vance announcing Iran refused to commit to giving up its nuclear program; oil has now risen more than 50 percent since the war began February 28, and gas prices are up 38 percent from pre-war levels despite a brief dip following the April 7 ceasefire. March CPI confirmed Friday at 3.3 percent annual rate, up sharply from 2.4 percent in February, driven by the largest one-month jump in fuel costs since at least 1957; food prices, airline fees, and mortgage costs are all expected to follow energy higher in April as supply chain pressures from the Strait of Hormuz disruption compound through the economy. Trump acknowledged on Fox News Sunday that gas prices could be “the same or maybe a little bit higher” by the midterm elections, a rare admission from the White House that the economic costs of the blockade are not expected to resolve quickly. CNN’s analysis of the blockade’s economic impact noted that while the move is designed to pressure Iran by cutting off its oil export revenue, which was approximately $45 billion last year and represents 13 percent of Iran’s GDP, it also threatens to worsen the war’s impact on American consumers who are already managing the most severe energy shock since the 1970s. Quincy Institute executive vice president Trita Parsi warned Monday that taking more Iranian oil off the market could drive prices “around $150 per barrel.” Karen Young at the Middle East Institute told CNN: “It could be a l
