Bitcoin Approaches $65K Amid US-Iran Peace Deal Signals
Bitcoin held near local highs after President Trump pledged a Sunday Iran deal, with analysts citing conditions for a sustained rebound.
Bitcoin climbed toward the $65,000 mark over the weekend as geopolitical developments provided an unexpected tailwind for risk assets.

In that sense, the geopolitical narrative and the macro narrative are converging in Bitcoin's favor, at least for now.
