Bitcoin Surges Past $64,800 Amid Lower Inflation and Ongoing Conflict

Bitcoin's price has climbed to $64,853 (BTC/USD), nearing a four-week high after gaining over 4% in the last week. This uptrend is largely attributed to lower-than-expected inflation reading, which reduced risk for crypto assets.

The Iran-US conflict remains a concern that could impact Bitcoin's momentum, however. The ongoing fighting has added pressure to markets where investors are already concerned about inflation and lengthy downward trends.

Despite this, the latest inflation reading was slightly positive, with consumer prices climbing 3.5% for June, which was not as high as expected. This gave Bitcoin and other crypto tokens some space to breathe, allowing them to test the upper limits of their recent climb.

The U.S. economy continues to show signs of recovery through falling inflation and promising job market readings, which could help Bitcoin regain lost ground if the conflict in Iran is resolved.
