Bitcoin, after experiencing a sharp drop over the weekend, started the new week with a strong recovery, signaling renewed optimism in the markets.
The price of BTC showed a gradual increase today, climbing to the $73,400 level.
Bitcoin, which came under selling pressure due to increasing geopolitical tensions over the weekend, lost approximately 4% of its value, particularly after US Vice President J.D. Vance left Pakistan without a peace agreement with Iran and US President Donald Trump ordered a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. However, these losses were quickly recovered in the new week with the recovery in risk appetite.
The rise in Bitcoin mirrored the positive outlook in global markets. US stock markets closed higher, with the S&P 500 index gaining approximately 1% and the Nasdaq 1.2%. Simultaneously, the drop in oil prices back below $100 per barrel also contributed to easing market pressure.
The “weekend drop – week start-of-week recovery” cycle, frequently observed throughout 2026, has manifested itself once again in the last 48 hours. Market participants believe that despite geopolitical risks, panic selling has remained limited and investors are beginning to reposition themselves.
On the global front, cautious optimism prevails. Sameer Samana, commenting on the market rally, stated that the fact that the ceasefire in the US-Iran conflict is being maintained for now gives investors confidence.
