Bitcoin is already being eyed for a move toward $65,000 if a US-Iran deal is sealed, with US President Donald Trump saying such an agreement could be signed within two or three days.
The top crypto asset had also clawed back from recent lows near $59,500 and was trading around $62,350 as traders weighed the odds of a shift in Middle East tensions.
Trump Sets A Tight Timeline
Trump said on Monday that talks were in their final stretch and that he did not see major obstacles left. He described the deal as a strong one and tied the talks to wider efforts to calm the fighting in the region.
The comments came after reports that Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that continuing military action could leave Israel with less US backing. He later wrote on Truth Social that Iran and Israel were both looking for an immediate ceasefire while peace talks kept moving.
Deal Hopes Meet Old Doubts
The latest timeline has not quieted skepticism. Trump has raised hopes of a near-term deal before, and the new comments landed after weeks of similar claims that never turned into a signed agreement.
Some of the hardest issues are still unresolved, including sanctions, nuclear limits, and long-term security guarantees. Reuters has also reported that earlier talks left the sides split over frozen funds and the future of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

That is why traders are treating the latest remarks as one more step, not a finish line. Reports suggest that a successful deal could open the door first to the $65,000 area and, with stronger buying, to $70,000 and beyond.
Oil Markets Still In The Frame
Oil is part of the same trade. Reuters reported that crude fell on Tuesday after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks, with Brent at $92.60 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate at $89.10.
The Strait of Hormuz remains the key pressure point, since it handles a large share of global oil and gas flows, and any easing of tension there could cool prices further. There were also reports that the market has swung on and off this storyline before, with each new round of hope meeting fresh warnings soon after.
For Bitcoin, that leaves a narrow path. A deal that cools oil and broadens risk appetite could help crypto, but the market is still waiting for an actual signature, not just another promise that talks are close.
