Bitcoin shows potential for a rally as diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran begin to de-escalate tensions, easing pressure on global oil supplies. Reports indicate a pause in conflict and mediated messaging between the United States and Iran, despite public denials of direct talks. This tentative diplomacy has led to a decrease in Brent crude and US West Texas Intermediate oil prices. Consequently, Bitcoin rose by 1.6%, maintaining its position above $71,000, as traders reduced concerns about inflation and interest rates that had intensified during recent geopolitical conflicts. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts Brent crude falling below $80 in Q3 and towards $70 by year-end if disruptions ease. Andre Dragosch of Bitwise highlighted reduced oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
