Crypto markets have witnessed a sharp rebound over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin rising roughly 4–5 percent from the $65,000 region to trade close to $70,000.

"The move appears to be largely driven by a combination of short liquidations, improving global risk sentiment after indications of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and a pullback in crude oil prices following a brief surge above $100 per barrel. These developments helped stabilise broader financial markets and encouraged renewed participation in digital assets," said Riya Sehgal, Research Analyst, Delta Exchange.

She estimates that if BTC hold above 70,000, a move toward the $71,000–$73,000 resistance band could unfold.

Other cryptocurrencies followed the cue. Ethereum was up 3.46 percent, BNB 3.54 percent, XRP 3.17 percent, Solana 4.06 percent, Dogecoin 1.65 percent, and Cardano 2.93 percent over the last 24 hours.

According to CoinDCX Research Team, the top gainer for the day is DeXe with over a 19.33 percent jump, followed by Hyperliquid, which surged by 12.38 percent and Zcash by 11.46 percent. On the other hand, OFFICIAL Trump plunges by 2.175, followed by Memecore, Humanity Protocol & Tron, which dropped by over 1 percent each.

What bitcoin's price rise mean for investors?

According to Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder & CEO, Pi42, the recent price action suggests that underlying demand continues to absorb volatility, with the asset reclaiming momentum as trading volumes rise and short positions begin to unwind. At the same time, institutional conviction remains visible.

"Looking ahead, the market’s direction will likely hinge on liquidity expectations and upcoming macro data such as the US inflation data. If inflation moderates and rate cut expectations strengthen, it could provide a supportive backdrop for Bitcoin to push back toward the $74,000 to $75,000 range in the near term," said Pai.
