Markets bounced back on President Trump's "largely negotiated" US-Iran deal, but further airstrikes underscore the fragile geopolitical position. Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw mixed signals as treasury firms added to their holdings and a potential $60,000 target emerged.
What Happened
Smaller Bitcoin treasury companies bought about $46 million worth of Bitcoin below $80,000 last week as the largest corporate holder, Strategy, paused its weekly buys. This move comes as Strategy repurchased $1.5 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 for $1.38 billion in privately negotiated transactions, using cash to lower its cash reserve to $871 million.
Why It Matters
The mixed signals in the Bitcoin market reflect the current uncertainty in the global economic landscape. The potential $60,000 target is tied to a $14 billion liquidation setup, which could deepen selling if key support levels fail. Weakening demand from US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a buildup of leveraged positions are contributing to the volatility.

Background
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is eyeing a return to the Philippines through a partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sandbox. This move comes after Binance was blocked in the Philippines in 2024 due to concerns over licensing and registration.
What Comes Next
The global markets will continue to watch for developments in the US-Iran deal and its impact on the economy. Bitcoin's price will likely remain volatile as investors navigate the mixed signals in the market. As the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, Strategy's moves will be closely watched, and its potential $60,000 target will be a key factor in determining the direction of the market.
