Bitcoin opened Friday at $66,888.48, down 1.7% from Thursday's $68,077.90 opening. The cryptocurrency is trading largely unchanged today amid cautious sentiment as investors weigh conflicting signals around the U.S.-Iran conflict while awaiting key U.S. labor market data. Bitcoin briefly rose toward $68,000 earlier this week on signs of easing Middle East tensions, but gains faded after President Trump struck a more aggressive tone on Iran. Trading volumes remained subdued with many global markets closed for Good Friday. The Iran war and concerns over economic repercussions have negatively affected demand for riskier assets including Bitcoin and S&P 500 stocks. Bitcoin remains well below its 2025 peak above $126,000, highlighting broader cooling in crypto markets this year.
