According to Bitstamp data, the top <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> breached this psychological level twice. It first tested resistance late Thursday before a sharp correction sent it well below $72,000.<\/p>\n<p>Following the initial dip, <span>bitcoin<\/span> attempted a recovery, though momentum stalled twice shortly after crossing the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-defies-early-volatility-to-reclaim-72000-support\/\">$72,000 threshold<\/a>. By 4 a.m. ET, it hit an intraday low of $71,451.

Despite the minor pullback, it maintained a 1.5% daily gain, bringing its total market capitalization to $1.46 trillion and its seven-day gains to 9%.<\/p>\n<p>The 0.9% inflationary spike was primarily catalyzed by a <span>volatile<\/span> surge in energy costs. While the market saw a modest reprieve earlier this week following President Trump\u2019s announcement of a ceasefire in the Iran conflict, crude prices continue to trade at a significant premium compared to pre-conflict benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p>Market analysts caution that energy overhead will remain structurally elevated until global production and shipping logistics <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/iran-strikes-saudi-pipeline-and-israel-launches-airstrikes-on-lebanon-hours-after-ceasefire-deal\/\">fully recalibrate<\/a> to levels seen before the war. This suggests prices will remain high, diminishing the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>While <span>inflation<\/span> data caused some intraday <span>volatility<\/span>, optimism surrounding Middle East peace talks served as a major tailwind. Additionally, the market reacted positively to a report on <span>stablecoin<\/span> yields from the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The move is seen as a strategic push to encourage the Senate to finalize the CLARITY Act, reinforcing the nation\u2019s goal of becoming a global <span>crypto<\/span> hub.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s price action on Friday again squeezed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bull-market-vs-bear-market\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bearish<\/a> traders.
