Here’s the thing people forget… conflict risk doesn’t kill tech or crypto forever — it just resets risk pricing. The US-Iran standoff is real, oil markets are pricing premiums, and that ricochets into broader assets like Bitcoin and equities. Oil up means inflation fears hang over the macro — that can flip central bank moves and USD strength.
Bitcoin’s fundamentals — scarcity, institutional flows, ETF buying — haven’t vanished. But when geopolitical fear spikes and markets de-risk, BTC gets sold like any other risk asset. That’s not weakness… just macro math in action.
Key highlights:
✅ Geopolitical headline risk packs into oil & risk markets
✅ BTC still driven by flows + liquidity conditions
✅ Conflict headlines = volatility spikes
My view? The fundamentals are still intact longer term. But short term? News = price swings. That’s how you gotta trade it.
So real talk… do you think BTC starts acting like safe haven next, or stays correlated to risk assets for now?
