Signs of de-escalation, particularly around US\u2013Iran relations, have reduced extreme risk scenarios, weakening demand for traditional safe havens like the US dollar, they said. <\/p>\n<p>The analysts added that the Federal Reserve is still taking a cautious approach, and expectations for rate cuts remain limited. At the same time, concerns about US debt demand and high long-term yields are starting to weaken confidence in traditional \u201crisk-free\u201d assets. This has contributed to additional pressure on the dollar, further supporting flows into alternative assets, including Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn crypto market structure, BTC is currently in a classic liquidity redistribution phase,\u201d they wrote, adding that Bitcoin continues to trade in a defined range, with resistance above $75,000 and support forming near $72,000. \u201cLiquidation heatmaps suggest the market is building a new equilibrium range rather than extending a directional trend,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <\/strong><\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/markets\/three-things-bitcoin-must-do-to-hold-highs-above-dollar76k-analysts\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/markets\/three-things-bitcoin-must-do-to-hold-highs-above-dollar76k-analysts\"><em><strong>Three things Bitcoin must do to hold highs above $76K: Analysts<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin surges as Strait of Hormuz reopens <\/h2>\n<p>On Friday, Iran\u2019s foreign minister announced that the Strait of Hormuz <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/bitcoin-rallies-76k-iran-strait-of-hormuz-open\" href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/bitcoin-rallies-76k-iran-strait-of-hormuz-open\">has been reopened<\/a> to commercial shipping for the duration of the current ceasefire, a move quickly confirmed by US President Donald Trump.
