Trump confirms US-Iran negotiations are underway; Qatari mediation has continued in Tehran for 12 hours

📌 What happened
- On October 31, US President Trump said that negotiations over Iran are currently underway between the two sides, but did not disclose specific details or progress.
- A diplomatic source said Qatari negotiators had been in ongoing talks with Iran in Tehran for 12 hours, and that negotiations were still underway. Qatari mediators also remained in regular contact with the White House throughout the day, saying, “All sides are continuing negotiations and working to reach an agreement between the US and Iran.”
- Background: Vance had previously written to Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, to explore restarting negotiations, while Qatari mediation continued. However, the US had also warned Gulf states to prepare for possible military action after the November 3 midterm elections—the tracks of negotiation and deterrence are proceeding in parallel, and the situation has not shifted decisively in either direction.
- Market reference: BTC was around $77,000 this morning, with its 24-hour decline narrowing to about 4.5% (OKX market data cited by 0x News); Binance withdrawals remain suspended, and the aftereffects of the incident have not subsided.

💡 My take: Short-term outlook for $BTC is neutral, because negotiations are a clear sign of de-escalation, but no substantive agreement has yet been reached, and the military option remains on the table ahead of the midterm elections, so the possibility of continued volatility remains.
