Bitcoin Rebounds Toward $63K After Oil Prices Ease, Trump Says Iran ‘Wants to Make A Deal Badly’

Bitcoin rose after oil prices cooled and President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Iran called wanting to negotiate a deal.

• Bitcoin climbed toward $63,000 after oil prices eased following President Donald Trump’s statement that Iran wants to "make a deal so badly."
• Analysts said Bitcoin could continue higher if it holds above $61,000, though resistance near $65,000 remains a key hurdle.
• Retail traders on Stocktwits remained divided on Bitcoin's near-term direction despite the recovery.

Bitcoin (BTC) attempted to climb back over $63,000 in early morning trade on Thursday after oil prices eased and President Donald Trump stated that Iran wants to make a deal.

"They called a little while ago. They want to make a deal so badly,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One before taking off from the U.K.  “I just don't know if they're worthy of making a deal. I don't know if they're going to honor the deal. That's the problem."

The United States Oil Fund (USO) edged 0.85% lower in pre-market trade and was among the top trending tickers on Stocktwits at the time of writing. Retail sentiment on the platform around the ETF continued to trend in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day, while chatter climbed to ‘high’ from ‘normal’ levels.
