Bitcoin tries to rebound on U.S.-Iran peace deal hopes; five key variables

Bitcoin is attempting to recover toward $77,000 after falling below $75,000, reviving talk of potential short liquidations up to $80,000. Some traders see the drop as a temporary liquidity sweep, while others warn weak spot demand and renewed leverage could trigger more liquidations. Key factors this week include expectations of a U.S.-Iran peace deal, U.S. risk-asset strength, upcoming April PCE inflation data and Fed policy signals, rising exchange inflows to Binance, and weakening U.S. institutional demand shown by ETF outflows.

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has formalised a 75 percent price cut for its flagship V4 Pro model, moving the discount from a promotion to its official price.

A benchmark test cost about $268, versus about 12 times more for OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and about 19 times more for Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7.

The strategy aims to repackage webtoon and comic intellectual property into short videos to broaden touchpoints and drive paid conversion, with monetisation and revenue sharing emerging as key challenges.
