Bitcoin and Ethereum prices surged in the Asian morning session, with BTC surpassing $69,000 and ETH exceeding $2,140, triggering approximately $200 million in short liquidations. This price movement comes as former President Trump delayed a decision on military action against Iran for the fourth time, reducing market sensitivity to geopolitical tensions.
