Bitcoin rose around 3% on Thursday, June 11, 2026, reclaiming the $63,000 level after weeks of pressure from Middle East conflict.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price
The world’s largest cryptocurrency reached $63,450.18 at 17:44 ET, up from a low of $59,000 the prior week. The move came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a peace agreement with Iran had been reached.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he had cancelled planned military strikes against Iran. He said the deal had been approved by a long list of regional parties including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, and others.
The news sent risk assets broadly higher. U.S. equities surged while oil prices dropped as traders reacted to the easing of tension in the region.
Earlier in the week, BTC had fallen as geopolitical tensions escalated. Trump had threatened further strikes and even the takeover of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil hub. Retaliatory attacks between the U.S. and Iran rattled markets.
Crypto markets had already been under pressure, with more than $5 billion in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs over the prior three weeks.
On Wednesday alone, investors pulled $213.85 million from spot ETFs, up from a $77.4 million outflow the day before, according to SoSoValue data.
The departure of institutional money was also tied to the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO. Elon Musk’s rocket company confirmed its IPO price at $135 per share on Thursday, raising $75 billion and targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion.
Crypto analyst Ali Charts, posting on social media, noted that Bitcoin had formed a symmetrical triangle pattern, with resistance sitting at $63,000 and support at $61,000.
U.S. producer price inflation data released Thursday also kept Federal Reserve rate hike expectations alive, adding a layer of uncertainty to the market before Trump’s announcement shifted sentiment.
Bitcoin had traded down to around $62,300 earlier in the session after the hotter-than-expected PPI reading, before rebounding sharply on the Iran news.
At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $63,173.68, showing continued green candles on the 15-minute chart following Trump’s Truth Social post.
