🔥Key Updates on US-Iran Situation + Quick Overview of BTC Trends
📍Iran's New Plan (Facilitated by Pakistan Mediation):
· Phase One: Reopen the Strait of Hormuz + Lift the Blockade + Extend the Ceasefire
· Phase Two: Delay Negotiations on Nuclear Issues (Uranium Enrichment/Stockpiles)
📍Trump's Stance: Firm Rejection
· Lifting the blockade first will forfeit leverage in nuclear negotiations
· "If you want to talk, come find me, or call me"
· Today's (4.27) War Room meeting to discuss next steps in the conflict
📍Iranian Foreign Minister's Update Today:
· Arrived in Moscow, will meet with Putin
Nature of the Deadlock:
Iran wants to resolve the Strait blockade first → the US must address nuclear issues first → a stalemate for both sides

📊Current BTC Price: $77,800
Recent Performance:
· Today briefly approached $79,488 (12-week high)
· Up approximately 16% in April
Driving Factors for the Rise:
· Spot ETF net inflows in April: ~$2.5 billion
· Strategy April purchases: $3.9 billion (highest in a year)
· Bitcoin 2026 Conference begins today
Key Price Levels:
· Resistance: $79,400–$80k
· Support: $76,900–$77,700
Risks to Watch:
⚠️ Whether today’s War Room meeting signals an escalation
⚠️ FOMC Meeting (4.28-29)
One Sentence Summary:
Institutional buying supports BTC approaching $80k, but the US-Iran deadlock remains the biggest variable. Whether $80,000 can hold depends on what the hawks do next.
