Bitcoin Rebounds to $65,000 Despite US-Iran Tensions, Showing Market Resilience

Jul 13, 2026

Bitcoin has demonstrated significant resilience, reclaiming the $65,000 level on July 15, 2026, after briefly sliding below $62,000 due to escalating U.S.-Iran military hostilities. Despite U.S. airstrikes, Iranian retaliatory attacks, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which pushed Brent crude prices up 6.3% to $79, the cryptocurrency market avoided a panic-driven selloff. Instead, digital assets stabilized, supported by a reversal in ETF flows that brought in $282 million, snapping an eight-week streak of outflows.
