BTC Surges 2% Amid Geopolitical Tensions, Outperforming Market as Institutional Inflows Drive Recovery

Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) experienced notable volatility over the past 24 hours, primarily driven by heightened geopolitical tensions following US military actions in the Middle East, which initially led to a sharp correction and significant liquidations across crypto markets. Despite this, Bitcoin rebounded from lows near $99,000 to a current price of $101,411.99 on Binance, representing a 2.04% increase from the previous 24-hour open of $99,381.50. The recovery is attributed to continued institutional inflows, sustained demand for crypto ETFs, and strong market liquidity, even as the broader crypto market saw a decline in total capitalization and most leading coins posted losses. Trading volume remains robust at approximately $38.4 billion, underscoring Bitcoin’s resilience and its position as the most stable among major cryptocurrencies during recent market turbulence.
