Bitcoin Reclaims $82,000, Then Drops Amid US-Iran Tensions as Markets Brace for Inflation Data - Tekedia

Bitcoin briefly topped $82,000 after renewed US-Iran tensions lifted demand for risk hedges, then slipped back near $80,000 as traders took profits.

Markets are also focused on a Senate vote on Kevin Warsh, progress on the CLARITY Act, and Tuesday’s CPI report.

Those events could shape expectations for inflation, Fed policy, and the next move in crypto prices.

The price action highlights how geopolitics, macro data, and US regulation are all driving Bitcoin volatility.
