Bitcoin\u2019s price was halted at its multi-month peak at over $78,000 on Friday, and the subsequent conflicting actions and statements from Iran and the US have led to another retracement to under $75,000 as of press time.<\/p>\n

The latest set of blame-throwing came minutes ago, as reports emerged that Iran believes they are \u201cfacing deception\u201d from US President Donald Trump due to \u201cinconsistency with what is actually happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, Iranian officials said they believe the two sides are \u201con the verge of a new round of escalation,\u201d as reported<\/a> by The Kobeissi Letter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that there\u2019s merit to this claim<\/a>. There have been numerous statements from the POTUS in the past 72 hours alone, starting from the more positive gratefulness for Iran\u2019s decision to reopen<\/a> the Strait of Hormuz on Friday.<\/p>\n

However, the US blockade remained in place, and Iran decided to close the Strait just a day later. Trump started to threaten once again, while also saying that both nations\u2019 delegations will meet again in Pakistan for another round of peace talks. In contrast, Iran\u2019s Tasnim news agency said<\/a> there were no such plans.<\/p>\n

Trump then alleged that there\u2019s a \u201cdivide\u201d in the Iranian government and threatened to \u201cblow up\u201d the entire country if the two nations fail to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n

This rather escalating uncertainty, with just a few days left until the ceasefire deal ends, led to a weekend correction for BTC, as the asset just slipped below $75,000. It\u2019s now down by almost $4,000 since the Friday peak.<\/p>\n

However, more volatility is to be expected later this evening when the futures legacy markets open and tomorrow morning, as it has happened in previous instances following major weekend developments.<\/p>\n
