<a href="https://coineagle.com/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> climbed 2% to $65,800 on June 15 after the United States and Iran confirmed a memorandum of understanding to end hostilities.
The agreement includes an immediate ceasefire and a pledge to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, easing concerns over global energy supply.
Financial markets reacted with a broad risk-on move.
S&amp;P 500 futures gained 1.20% in Asian trading, while Brent crude fell 4.51% to $83.39 as supply disruption fears eased.
Major altcoins, including XRP, Solana, and Cardano, rose between 3% and 4% during the same session.
Data from SoSoValue showed spot Bitcoin ETF net outflows of $315.8 million last week.
Although still negative, these outflows slowed compared to more than $1 billion in weekly withdrawals recorded across the prior month.
Market participants are now assessing whether geopolitical relief can translate into sustained momentum for Bitcoin while ETF flows remain negative.
The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index stands at 20 out of 100, reflecting continued extreme fear among investors.
<h2 id="cross-asset-impact-and-etf-flow-trends">Cross-Asset Impact and ETF Flow Trends</h2>
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz reduces the supply-risk premium embedded in oil prices.
Lower energy prices can temper near-term inflation expectations, influencing interest rate outlooks and risk-asset valuations.
This dynamic may provide indirect support for long-duration assets such as Bitcoin.
However, ETF flows indicate institutional demand has not fully stabilized despite the slower pace of outflows.
The moderation in redemptions suggests deleveraging pressure may be easing.
At the same time, continued net withdrawals point to persistent structural headwinds in spot Bitcoin investment products.
<h2 id="technical-levels-and-market-structure">Technical Levels and Market Structure</h2>
Bitcoin has rebounded roughly $6,700 from its June 5 low near $59,100.
Monday’s close marked the strongest level in the past ten sessions but remains below resistance formed earlier in the year.
Previous rallies tied to Middle East developments pushed Bitcoin toward $79,500 in late April before a sharp pullback followed.
Technical analysts continue to watch the 50% Fibonacci retracement near $78,962 and the 200-day exponential moving average around $81,708 as major resistance zones.
At current levels, Bitcoin is trading within the lower half of its broader corrective range.
The $62,000 to $66,000 zone previously acted as congestion during May’s decline.
A sustained daily close above $66,440 would indicate that this band is functioning as support rather than resistance.
The earlier selloff that drove Bitcoin below $73,000 created several resistance levels above $68,000 that have yet to be tested.
The recent 2% gain aligns with a relief-driven bounce following geopolitical developments rather than a confirmed technical breakout.
