Bitcoin climbed above $73,000 on Friday and managed to secure the $70,000 level as weekly support, signaling renewed market strength.

The move comes amid weak US economic data and rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran and Israel.

Recent reports show the US economy grew just 0.7% in late 2025, increasing fears of a possible recession. As a result, some investors are shifting away from traditional assets and toward scarce alternatives like Bitcoin.

Despite global uncertainty, BTC continues to attract attention as traders look for protection against economic volatility.
