Fact Check
The exact claim that Bitcoin rose above 79,000 USDT and reached 79,014.4 on OKX is directly supported by the fetched Odaily flash item titled "BTC 突破 79000 USDT ， 24H 涨幅 1.94%", which explicitly attributes the price to OKX market data and gives the exact figure 79,014.4 USDT. PANews' article "BTC突破78000美元，日内涨幅 0.86%" independently reports an OKX-based upward breakout earlier in the move, which is consistent with the later Odaily level. However, no official OKX page or official @okx post confirming the exact print was obtained in this run, so the evidence is not as strong as a direct exchange source. The added explanation that the move was tied to rising Asian equities and easing geopolitical tensions is not supported by the validated sources here, so only the price portion of the claim is well supported.

Summary

Bitcoin advanced above the closely watched 79,000 level, with OKX reporting a move from 78,000.10 to 79,014.4 USDT and a 1.94% gain over the past 24 hours. An earlier update showed a 0.86% intraday increase at 78,000.10, while a separate market report said Bitcoin rose above $79,000 alongside gains in Asian equities amid subdued geopolitical tensions. Although that broader market update did not provide exchange, timing, or volume details, together the reports indicate continued short-term strength in Bitcoin and suggest improved macro risk sentiment may have supported the move.
