Bitcoin price threatens $75K loss as US-Iran peace progress sparks new stocks records Bitcoin disappointed bulls by dropping below $75,000 on Iran peace deal reports while US stocks hit new all-time highs and oil saw one-month lows on Hormuz hopes. Bitcoin (BTC) fell back below $75,000 at Wednesday’s Wall Street open as relief over a US-Iran peace deal bypassed crypto. Key points: - Bitcoin continues to diverge from US stocks despite good news over the US-Iran war. - BTC price action instead trends lower with oil amid improving odds of the Strait of Hormuz reopening. - Bitcoin traders see little reason to avoid new local lows nearer $70,000 next. BTC price falls with oil as Iran peace deal details emerge Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD down by up to 1.2% on the day, targeting week-to-date lows. BTC/USD one-hour chart.

US WTI crude dropped to as low as $87.77 per barrel on the day, its lowest since April 22. CFDs on WTI crude oil one-day chart.

Despite the implied tailwinds for risk assets, Bitcoin failed to join the upward momentum, instead continuing a trend from recent weeks where it moved in the opposite direction to US equities. “$BTC Indecisive whether to join stocks or commodities today,” trader Daan Crypto Trades responded.

Meanwhile, below us there’s a large liquidation cluster around 74k that could pull price toward it,” trading and analytics account CGT Trader commented earlier. “An upside sweep can’t be ruled out, but imo continuation to the downside is still more likely.” Binance BTC/USDT liquidation heatmap.
