U.S. President Trump announced that he would withdraw from Iran within 2 to 3 weeks, prompting a short-term bounce in Bitcoin and a rebound in market risk appetite. However, Bitcoin faces the risk of falling for the sixth consecutive month; if this month’s close is below $67,300, it would further confirm downward pressure. Analysts noted that there are three possible market scenarios ahead, and it is necessary to closely watch how the outlook develops.
