Bitcoin rises after Trump points to delay in Iran strikes

Bitcoin had earlier been fluctuating around a two-week low, sliding as far as $67,371 — its lowest level since March 9 — in Asia trading. The token has been volatile since the conflict in Iran began in late February, at one point jumping to a high of nearly $76,000 before tumbling once more as tensions in the region escalated. “Geopolitical news has been a strong influence, dispelling the gloom of recent days,” said Alex Kuptsikevich, chief market analyst at FxPro.
