BTC Volatility Rises as Trump Delays Iran Strike
In the last 24-hours, the Bitcoin BTC-0.17% experienced notable volatility as its price fluctuated between $74,814 to $76,944 and settled around $75,818 with a neutral candle formation. A primary catalyst to this uncertainty was the escalating instability in the ceasefire between the U.S and Iran.
In a recent truth post, U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned that has opted to postpone the military attack on Tehran.

Trump has ordered our Military to carry on with the Blockade in order to keep the pressure on the region.
U.S. troops are ordered to be prepared and available as diplomats hold on until the Iranian authorities can come up with a unanimous reaction. The President acknowledged that he will thus suspend the ceasefire until such time as their offer is placed, and all the associated talks are completed.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price in the daily chart shows the formation of an inverted flag pattern. Over the past two months, the BTC rallied from $59,930 to $76,59, registering a 27% growth. This upswing resonating strictly within two parallel trendlines indicates a steady growth in price,
However, the chart setup is a classic bearish continuation pattern, suggesting the ongoing recovery could bolster sellers to regain momentum. If history repeats, the Bitcoin price could plunge 9% and challenge the flag support at $69,300.
