Bitcoin Surges to $80,000 on May 4 as Macro Events and Geopolitical Tensions Escalate

According to BlockBeats, Bitcoin surged above the $80,000 level on May 4 as global markets entered a period of intensifying macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The U.S. military announced Operation Prosperity Guardian, deploying 15,000 personnel and naval and air assets to the Strait of Hormuz for maritime security, while Iran warned that any intervention could be viewed as a violation of the ceasefire, raising the risk of further escalation. Liquidation heatmaps show dense short-position liquidity concentrated in the 79,500-81,000 range, with long-position support at 77,000-78,000, indicating the market has entered a high-leverage hedging state.
