Bitcoin price pushed above $64,000 on Monday for the first time since 11 August, printing $64,063 at 18:55 UTC against a previous close of $62,832. That is a gain of roughly $1,230, or almost 2 percent on the day.
The obvious explanation is sitting right there in the newsflow. Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya reported on Monday, citing sources, that the United States and Iran had agreed to extend their 60-day truce, which expired today. Turkish agency Anadolu carried a similar report citing Pakistani government sources.
It is a tidy story. It is also, on the evidence of the intraday chart, only partly true.
