- Bitcoin price has recovered from its sell-off and is trading above $107,000.
- Bitcoin rose almost 2% over 24 hours on June 16, 2025, despite tensions in the Middle East.
- Analysts say BTC has shown resilience since hitting a low of $102,800 on June 11.
Bitcoin (BTC) demonstrated significant strength as the price recovered to trade above $107,000 in early trading on Monday, June 16, 2025, despite ongoing concerns about a possible wider conflict in the Middle East.
BTC fell to a low of $102,800 last week amid negative headlines stemming from escalations between Israel and Iran.
However, with markets possibly buoyed by hopes for a diplomatic resolution, the flagship cryptocurrency has bounced back toward the $107k area.
A modest recovery across the broader crypto market also saw Ethereum rebound above $2,600, XRP climb above $2.20, and Solana move back above $1.56.
Top performers over the past 24 hours included Hyperliquid (HYPE), which surged to a new all-time high above $44.70 as its total value locked surpassed $2 billion.
QCP analysts on BTC, market bounce
Even with geopolitical headwinds led by the Iran-Israel situation, analysts point to Bitcoin’s resilience amid continued institutional interest.
The market has also seen meaningful traction for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), another factor supporting prices.
Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows reached $1.3 billion over the past week.
Analysts at Singapore-based QCP Capital said Bitcoin’s price has shown impressive strength despite the Middle East tensions.
BTC’s recovery mirrored gains in U.S. futures markets on Monday.
Referring to last week’s and weekend’s price declines, QCP wrote:
“The reaction was relatively muted. Friday’s pullback was only 3%—light compared with April 2024, when similar headlines triggered an 8% drawdown. The market appears calmer this time.”
Nevertheless, analysts warn downside risks remain, particularly if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz or if the U.S. military becomes directly involved.
But what does this mean for BTC’s long-term outlook?
“Ironically, such risks can support $BTC over the long term. With the asset trading less than 6% from its all-time high, its performance continues to strengthen the narrative of $BTC as a hedge against macro instability and rising debt burdens,” QCP added. “Recent price action suggests $BTC is no longer just a speculative trade. Structural adoption is being driven by flows of conviction, even while the broader macro backdrop remains unsettled.”
Bitcoin price outlook
Bitcoin reached an all-time high above $111,970 on March 22, 2025. Despite last week’s sharp dip, current prices still place BTC just over 4% below that ATH.

With the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index indicating the market remains in the “Greed” zone, bulls may try to test the psychological $110k level again soon.
However, buyers face supply resistance around the $108k area. On the downside, key support is located near $103k.
