Bitcoin Rejects $83K as Trump Signals Iran Deal, With a Threat Attached

Bitcoin's slide below $80,000 on Friday, after rejecting $83,000 on Thursday, lined up cleanly with U.S. strikes on Iran, $300 million in liquidations, and a Fed read that rates stay higher for longer. Monexus framed the week as a single repricing of the Iran deal probability, with the Hormuz pause

Desk note: Wire coverage front-loaded the escalation language and treated Thursday's $83,000 print and Friday's sub-$80,000 slide as separate stories. Monexus framed the week as a single repricing event, with the Hormuz pause as the base case and the bombing ultimatum as a posture update rather than a regime change.
