Bitcoin surges to $71,000 after $550M short liquidation.

Bitcoin trades at $71,000, rising 4% in 24 hours and 0.25% since midnight. The increase follows Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's comments on achieving artificial general intelligence. Oil remains at $100 per barrel, but the crypto market remains relatively resilient amid the Middle East conflict and U.S.-Iran tensions, with bitcoin outperforming gold.
