There has been remarkable activity in the cryptocurrency markets in the last few hours.

Bitcoin has shown a strong upward trend towards the $70,000 mark amid increasing volatility in global financial markets.

The largest cryptocurrency, which fell to levels as low as $63,000 over the weekend, rose by up to 6% today, reaching $69,615.

Rising geopolitical tensions were the main factor determining market direction. Following the US announcement of its bombing campaign against Iran, sharp selling pressure was seen on Saturday, while a cautious recovery in risk appetite occurred after news of the assassination of Iran’s religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Crypto assets reacted instantly to developments due to their 24/7 trading over the weekend.

In line with Bitcoin’s rise, Ethereum also gained over 6%, reaching $2,070. Lower-liquidity altcoins also saw upward movements.

The price of BTC has risen by 1.22% in the last hour.

On the other hand, risk perception in global markets presents a complex picture. Conflicts in the Middle East have driven up oil prices, increasing concerns that inflation could accelerate again. This development has led to selling pressure in bond markets, while investors have withdrawn their expectations for interest rate cuts. The dollar and gold rose, while stocks tried to limit their losses.

While Bitcoin could gain new momentum if it technically surpasses the $70,000 level, geopolitical developments are expected to keep volatility high in the short term.

With the recent volatility, the cryptocurrency market has seen $465 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours. Of this, $234 million was in long positions.

Xi Jinping speaks with US President Trump on the phone

PANews reported on September 19th that President Xi Jinping spoke with US President Trump by phone tonight. They had a candid and in-depth exchange of views on current China-US relations and issues of mutual concern, and provided strategic guidance for the stable development of China-US relations in the next phase. The call was pragmatic, positive, and constructive. Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of China-US relations. China and the US can achieve mutual success and common prosperity, benefiting both countries and the world. To realize this vision, both sides must meet each other halfway and make efforts to achieve mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. The recent consultations between the two teams demonstrated the spirit of equality, respect, and reciprocity. The two sides can continue to properly address outstanding issues in the relationship and strive for a win-win outcome. The US should refrain from taking unilateral trade restrictive measures to prevent undermining the achievements achieved through multiple rounds of consultations. China's position on the TikTok issue is clear. The Chinese government respects the wishes of businesses and welcomes them to conduct commercial negotiations based on market rules and reach solutions that comply with Chinese laws and regulations and balance interests. China hopes that the US will provide an open, fair, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies to invest in the United States.
