Bitcoin reclaims $81K as Trump rules out pre-midterm Iran strikes
- —Trump ruled out strikes on Iran before the Nov. 3 vote, blockade remains in force
- —Bitcoin climbed back above $81,000 after dropping below the level for the first time since Sep. 21
- —More than $480 million in crypto positions were liquidated in one hour, mostly longs
- —Polymarket puts 60% odds on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire holding through Nov. 15
Why it matters: Geopolitics and oil remain the key driver: easing strike risk lifted BTC, but the blockade and ongoing talks keep volatility elevated.
