Bitcoin holds near $65,000 as oil nears $100 and rate-hike fears persist
Bitcoin settled just under $65,000 even as Brent crude surged to nearly $98, its highest since May, driven by the ongoing US-Iran conflict and rising bond yields. Odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike in July climbed toward 40%, adding pressure to risk assets.
Why it matters for the crypto market
When oil surges and bond yields rise together it typically signals tighter financial conditions ahead, which has historically weighed on Bitcoin, so the market is watching how long crypto can hold its ground.
