According to Francisco Rodrigues, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $105,000, down 1.4% in 24 hours, as geopolitical risks escalate with Trump's comments labeling Iran's leader an 'easy target,' increasing U.S. conflict odds to 62% on Polymarket. Institutional accumulation is underpinning demand, with Strategy adding over 10,000 BTC from its STRD offering and The Blockchain Group purchasing 182 BTC this week, as QCP Capital analysts noted BTC's resilience above $100,000 despite Middle East turmoil. The U.S. Senate's approval of the GENIUS Act for stablecoins is seen as a structural win, while traders monitor the Federal Reserve's expected unchanged interest rate decision and heightened demand for downside protection in BTC options on Deribit.
