Bitcoin\u2019s price is on the move again, this time favoring the bulls. The asset just exploded by several grand in less than an hour, going from just over $65,000 to a multi-day peak of early $69,000.<\/p>\n

The altcoins are on the rise as well, with ETH skyrocketing past the coveted $2,000 level, while SOL has neared $90. XRP and BNB have gained over 4% in an hour.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to follow all the geopolitical developments that have taken place in the past 48 hours. Recall that the US and Israel joined forces to attack Iran on Saturday morning, killing<\/a> its Supreme Leader in the process. The Middle Eastern country retaliated against several nations in the region, including Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others.<\/p>\n

Tension has continued to escalate since then, with US President Trump making numerous warnings toward Iran, while also speculating that the war could last up to four weeks.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most probable reason behind the instant price pump in the cryptocurrency markets now is the upcoming POTUS speech on the situation, which will take place in just a few hours.<\/p>\n
