On a Wednesday bathed in the pale light of uncertainty, Bitcoin leapt forward, an 8.3% surge that carried it above the $72,000 barrier, a feat not seen in a month. Trapped in its $63,000-$73,000 cage since February, it had flirted with the $70,000 mark, only to be rebuffed by the fickle hand of fate. The drums of war between the US, Israel, and Iran had beaten a rhythm of volatility, sending risk assets into a tailspin. Yet, Bitcoin, ever the contrarian, found its footing, rebounding from a $63,000 plunge to a one-month high of $73,479, as if mocking the chaos that birthed it.
