My dear, Bitcoin has deigned to rise above $82,000 this Wednesday, all because the markets have caught wind of a possible tête-à-tête between Washington and Tehran. One might hope that a bit of diplomacy could cool the ardors of conflict and give global energy a breather-how utterly charming.
From its February sulk near $60,000, Bitcoin has perked up by over 36%. And let’s not forget the technical gymnastics-in late April, it vaulted over a downtrend line that had been hogging the spotlight since October’s grand $126,199 high. After a polite retest, it has strutted up another 10% in a week. How very spry of it.
The Great Diplomatic Polka: Bitcoin Joins the Frolic
The spark, we’re told, is an Axios scoop that the White House believes it’s inches from a one-page memorandum of understanding with Iran. Fourteen points! Such thoroughness. Envoys Witkoff and Kushner are at it, negotiating directly or through mediators. The MOU, in its current glory, aims to call a cease to the regional war and open a 30-day chat about the Strait of Hormuz, nukes, and sanctions. But, darling, nothing is agreed yet-Iran’s leadership is apparently as divided as a theatre audience at a bad play.
Secretary Rubio, ever the pragmatist, reminds us that “we don’t have to have the actual agreement written in one day.” How reasonable! And he seeks a diplomatic solution clear on “the topics they are willing to negotiate on.” One wouldn’t want any ambiguity, would one?
Meanwhile, crude oil takes a tumble-down 6.7% for Brent-as traders dream of smoother energy flows. Equities, too, are in a froth: Nasdaq futures up, S&P up. It’s a veritable risk-on orgy, with Bitcoin joining the revelry as a high-beta asset. How very inclusive.
UPDATE: But hold the phone! The Kobeissi Letter reports that US oil prices are now surging back up, +8% in an hour, as doubts creep in over that Axios deal. And Iran has launched a new website-the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority.” Because nothing says serious diplomacy like a fresh domain name. At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $82,149, presumably wondering what’s next.
