Bitcoin Holds Near $62,000, Showing Muted Reaction to Renewed Iran-US Strikes

Per CoinDesk (July 9, 2026), Bitcoin traded above $62,000 on Thursday, July 9, settling at $62,009, down 1.2% over 24 hours but up 1.6% for the week, even as oil rose, gold fell and Treasury yields climbed. The relatively muted reaction came even as Iran widened strikes on US bases across the Persian Gulf, in contrast to gold's sharper multi day slide, which CoinDesk analysts say reflects Bitcoin's growing correlation with bond yields rather than traditional safe haven assets.
