HOT MOMENTS: Bitcoin (BTC) Price Surpassed $102,000, Ethereum (ETH) Soared! Here’s the Reason for the Rise, Liquidations and Latest Situation!

By: bitcoin ethereum news|2025/05/09 15:45:02

The world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, surpassed $ 100,000 today after a long time, and with the continuation of the rise, it is traded above $ 102,000 at the time of writing this article. The BTC price is only 6% away from a new all-time high. Ethereum, on the other hand, has had a truly impressive and surprising rally today. The largest altcoin has gained over 20% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $2,186 at the time of writing. With this rise, ETH has made its biggest gain since 2021. The reason for the increases is that the US is holding more moderate talks and signing agreements with many countries regarding customs duties. A 10% customs duty agreement was signed between the US and the UK. In addition, the environment with China, which is perhaps the most tense side of the customs duty crisis, has softened. The US administration has stated that the customs duties applied to China could be reduced to around 50% next week. Finally, the US’s statement that it is determined to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine’s positive view of a 30-day ceasefire, and the positive talks between Zelenskiy and Trump also helped reduce tensions in the geopolitical environment and sparked a rally in cryptocurrencies. Along with the rise in the cryptocurrency market, major liquidations were also observed. According to Coinglass data, the cryptocurrency market experienced a massive liquidation of $793 million in the last 24 hours. $694 million of these were in short positions. Below you can see the amount of liquidations in the last 24 hours. *This is not investment advice.

As the situation unfolds, market observers are closely monitoring how key assets like oil, gold, and Bitcoin will react in the coming weeks. This article explores whether the ceasefire is a sign of lasting peace, assesses the short-term market implications, and delves into the evolving role of Bitcoin in the global financial landscape.

WEEX Market Update: U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Sparks Bitcoin Price Surge

April 8, 2026 – In a significant shift in global geopolitics, U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a temporary two-week ceasefire with Iran, resulting in a notable market reaction across various asset classes.

From Panic to Pumps: How Bitcoin Traders Are Playing the 2-Week US-Iran Ceasefire

For most people, the two-week US-Iran ceasefire is about geopolitics, oil prices, and whether World War III gets postponed. But for crypto traders glued to their screens late Sunday night, it was something else entirely: the clearest risk-on signal in months.

US-Iran Ceasefire Triggers Oil Plunge, Bitcoin Surge, and Gold Rally

Despite the sharp rally, caution is warranted. The $70,000–$72,000 zone has historically been strong resistance. The ceasefire is only temporary (two weeks), and any breakdown in negotiations could trigger a sell-off toward the $62,000–$65,000 support zone. For now, Bitcoin needs to close decisively above $72,500 to confirm a true breakout; failure to do so within 48–72 hours could lead to a swift retracement.
