Interesting contrast today โ the US-Iran peace deal is signed, stocks are climbing, while BTC is taking a dive!
FRIDAY 19.06.2026
Stocks are up, BTC is down โ why doesnโt Bitcoin "believe" in the peace deal?
Todayโs market is a strange sight. Bitcoin has dropped below $63,000 on the last trading day of the week โ the market has given back all its gains from the past week.
But the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are rising on news of the US-Iran peace deal. Why is crypto moving in the opposite direction?
Hereโs the disconnect:
Stocks are trading the Iran deal, while Bitcoin is trading the Fed policy โ these are two entirely different risks. Investing News Network
The Fed meeting on June 17 was a hawkish shock โ 9 out of 18 officials forecast a rate hike in 2026. The new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, has completely removed forward guidance, and the inflation forecast has been raised to 3.6%. This is the real reason for BTC's drop โ not Iran, but the Fed.
But hereโs the interesting part:
Despite the price drop, long-term holders accumulated 125,000 BTC in June โ one of the largest monthly accumulation events of this cycle. While traders panic over the Fed โ seasoned players are quietly buying.
What do you think โ is the Fed more important than geopolitics for BTC? ๐
