Bitcoin Rebound 5.7% to $106,026 as Geopolitical Tensions Ease

Bitcoin's price surged back above $106,000 on Monday, recovering from a sharp weekend dip that briefly pushed it below the key $100,000 level. The rebound comes amid easing geopolitical tensions and continued institutional demand, reinforcing Bitcoin’s resilience despite recent volatility.

Over the weekend, Bitcoin price fell to $98,500, the first break below six figures in over 45 days—amid concerns over escalating conflict in the Middle East. As of June 24, 2025, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $106,026, up 5.7% in 24 hours. The intraday swing reflects elevated volatility but highlights firm support at lower levels. By Monday, the recovery coincided with the U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which helped ease investor anxiety across global markets.

Crypto investment products saw robust inflows last week. According to CoinShares’ June 20 report, crypto ETPs recorded $1.24 billion in net inflows, with $1.1 billion directed into Bitcoin funds. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) led the surge, contributing to a new year-to-date total of over $15.1 billion in crypto fund flows. These inflows suggest sustained institutional interest, even as the Bitcoin price trades near all-time highs. With assets under management in Bitcoin ETFs rising steadily and over 126 public companies now holding BTC in their treasuries, the foundation for long-term demand appears intact.

Despite the weekend sell-off, Bitcoin’s derivatives market showed resilience. Aggregate futures open interest held near $68 billion. Only $193 million in long liquidations—just 0.3% of the total. Options markets on Deribit also indicate bullish sentiment, with open interest clustering around strike prices of $110,000 and $120,000 for upcoming expirations. Retail sentiment dipped to its most bearish levels since April, while on-chain metrics indicate accumulation by large Bitcoin holders. The combination of bearish sentiment and whale buying often precedes a bullish reversal, supporting the rebound in Bitcoin price.

Analysts attribute the drop to temporary electricity issues, rather than systemic problems. Meanwhile, exchange outflows have risen, suggesting that holders are opting for self-custody rather than panic selling. Glassnode’s cost basis data also reinforces bullish fundamentals. Bitcoin was trading above the short-term holder cost basis ($105,200) when writing. And long-term metrics show the majority of holders remain in profit, reducing the risk of forced selling.

With Bitcoin price recovering from weekend lows, analysts are turning their focus to the $110,000 resistance zone. The level marks a major psychological and technical barrier. A breakout could trigger the next bullish leg, while failure to reclaim that level may result in continued consolidation. QCP Capital emphasized the importance of the range between $100,000 and $110,000, noting that a move outside this range could “reawaken broader market interest.”
