Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $79,890 on Sept. 11 but failed to clear the $80,000-$82,000 resistance zone identified by QCP.

Will Houthi advances in Yemen give Iran leverage in its war with the US?
The Iranian-aligned Houthis have seized Yemen’s Red Sea coast and consolidated their control around the Bab al-Mandeb strait, raising fears that the US-Iran war could develop a second front. The area is vital to Saudi oil exports, and the prospect of another supply disruption alongside the Hormuz blockade has pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel. The developments could strengthen Tehran’s negotiating position.
