On June 14, crude oil slid after U.S. President Donald Trump said a U.S.-Iran peace deal was "officially complete" and the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Brent fell to $83.31 and WTI to around $80.25, while bitcoin rebounded above $65,000 and later reached $65,910. The move also triggered about $150 million in crypto short liquidations as risk appetite improved.

Bitcoin recovered from the $60K area to about $65.6K as aggressive spot buyers returned, rather than from a classic short squeeze. Over the June 6–15 stretch, funding stayed positive for 10 consecutive days, suggesting long leverage is rebuilding even as demand supports the move.

Bitcoin traded around $65,844 on Monday, up 2.1% in 24 hours and above $65,500 after the U.S. and Iran agreed to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude fell more than 4% toward $83 a barrel as risk assets rose, while ether climbed to $1,721 and solana to $71. Analysts said the bounce could still face headwinds from ETF outflows and Strategy's recent sale of 32 BTC.

In Polymarket’s June market ($15.56 million volume), BTC is shown at $65,796 and the most likely rebound level is $67,500 (70%), while $100,000 is priced at under 1%. Kalshi’s June event ($869,577 volume) assigns 14% odds to BTC crossing $75,000 before June 30, 2026, and its year-end 2026 market ($25.8 million volume) centers around roughly $66,000.
