BTC was doing really well in terms of the price.

Israel-Iran situation is kind of getting out of hands at the moment.

It is time for another downtrend for BTC?

What is everyone thinking about the current situation.

Instability always ruins market confidence.

We may see a downtrend for some time, but it will all be turned back to normal eventually.

That we can do nothing but hold. And in the case of dip, find spare funds to buy the dip.
Geopolitical crisis affects all even gold at the initial stage
I won't be surprised if Real Estates in Israel and Iran has tanked.
The thing to remember is the dip has always being temporary and once a recovery starts
It's easy to miss if you are not already onboard the train.

Suppose that is really the cause of the downtrend of Bitcoin. I'd be buying more, and this is like a chance to give to other people who want to buy cheaper Bitcoin, because for sure this is just temporary.
We have already seen many similar scenarios like this before, and Bitcoin has just gone up after.

Tracking back from previous escalations, I don't think a 3-5% drop signals the market's on edge for full-scale war. Should point out that the bulls appear really patient too, not overreacting yet to these pullbacks, while bears seem aggressive and will not take much comfort that they couldn't dent price to sub 100k. Generally, all markets seem to be in this cautious but still optimistic mode.

It is true that the market is significantly affected by the situation of things in Iran by Israeli but that is how bitcoin has been. You will see it fall during the start of a war and it will increase back to normal. It fell and increased back but still it is falling again as the war is escalating. Let us expect that the war will not last but even if it last, it will have have long term effect on bitcoin. Even if bitcoin fall than expected, it is just about bear market and not the war.

Same when Ukraine-Russia war occur. The crypto market suffer a significant dip in the price since the global economy is affected by this war.

After few months crypto market already recovered while stock market is still in lows. People choose to invest on Bitcoin rather than stocks in times of uncertainty since they knew that it recovers quickly.

I believe same scenario will happen unless big country like US, Russia and China will interfere to make this war a large scale.

Yeah, I'm not worried about that. Over the years I have seen many events that destabilize the markets, which is just a blip in the upward trend of the premium assets. Now the strong hands are taking advantage to fleece the doubters but if you go long term you forget about the noise and that's it.

As long as whales and large institutions are not affected by the war between Israel and Iran, there will be no drop in the price of bitcoin and even if it does, it will be a temporary correction and it will recover, we know that bitcoin resilience has been proven, besides that its adopters are widespread all over the world and this is what balances the bitcoin market.
I will wait until the number where this correction stops and then buy it, that's what we should do right now.

Economical instability is definitely going to affect anything financial institution but this war has actually made me more reassuring about how the bitcoin market has been getting stable and stronger against news like this. I could remember in the past news like this usually sends bitcoin down to like 10% dip in a day and we would have been below $100k by now, but the market actually did dipped a little due to sentiment change on the first day the attack started but recovered back and since has been consolidating which shows that the current support is a strong one.

The last 24 hours dump has been as a result of the hack of an Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex reported to NF carried out by an Israeli and with the bitcoins stolen from there been burnt. This has actually inflicted little fear in the market and hence the reason for the dip. While it is causing weak hands to sale, it is the perfect time to accumulate more

Agreed.

People don't need to shake their bags only because there is a bit of red, because we need to understand why it's there - it's the full-on bear, just events that shake what investors think, and they return to business just as fast, if not faster..

Investors are scared of the war escalating. If the US enters the war, we might see more downturn because Iran might decide to block the Strait of Hormuz. If this happens, crude price might hit $100 per barrel. Inflation will rise and the stock market will feel the impact negatively. Investors might decide to invest in safe haven assets like gold instead of Bitcoin. But the market will always recover after some time..

Crypto suffers because the bigger markets suffer - if investors pull off what's even bigger and more traditional, we all know what happens on our charts ;D

But it won't be for long (hopefully).

Imagine if every Bitcoin holders and investors can just have the confidence to not worry? The market will stay the same like it doesn't care but that's impossible I guess since we all have our different minds, that's human for you after all.

We always have some people with non-diamond hands.

And that's okay. The market is built for those as well as for those who are confident at any red signs.

Bitcoin is very good and strong while altcoins have been bleeding recent weeks. This market cycle is a hardest one so far in cryptocurrency market history as there have been very limited waves for altcoins. Nothing like altcoin seasons as a same as previous market cycles.

This war is a tip of iceberg that is used by market makers for dumping altcoinmarket and making altcoin enthusiasts very stressful and disappointed with truly big loss and max pain.

You can imagine what will happen with altcoins if Bitcoin is dumped or fall to a bear market. My prediction is much terrible performances of altcoins in bear market, but not because of the war.

Even without this Israel-Iran war, btc downtrend will surely occur in the market due to its high volatility. However, the good thing is, btc price recovers eventually in time, regardless if there are any or no positive news or events that would impact the market. But it would be great if positive sentiments are there so that btc price will recover quickly.

Furthermore, looking at the current price, I don’t see any significant price drop happening there. It’s just a little markdown that will move upward any moment from now.

If this happens Bitcoin will not be profitable. The Bitcoin market is designed in a way that the weak hands will dump for strong hands to buy discounted coins.

This current volatility is caused by the escalations in the Middle East. Yesterday's price was better because there were slight indications that there might be a ceasefire. You are correct, there is no significant change in price.

Israel is trying to take down the current Iranian regime. They do it because they rightfully think the Iranians had enough of that Mullah crap and won’t defend their current leaders in case an invasion takes place.

I once read that Iranians hate the US more than any country in the world and ironically, almost all of those haters also want to live in the US if they ever get a chance.

Bitcoin got affected by the recent events but hey, it is still above $100k and that’s strength. Bitcoin didn’t chicken out and lost 30% of its marketcap in a day. Maybe that kind of volatility is gone for good.

bitcoins "normal" is instability.. stop trying to assert that geo politics is the cause of bitcoins volatility and realise bitcoin is naturally volatile

I don't think that has affected the bitcoin price that much. Bitcoin was always fluctuating before the bombing started. Yesterday, when I looked at the chart, it was around $107k, today it's around 104k, which is normal with bitcoin. I expected bitcoin to really dip when Iran first retaliated against Israel, but it did not. I don't believe it will start now.
People are no longer scared of bitcoin in times like these as they used to be. People trust bitcoin more now, so a war in a particular region won't push so many people to panic and sell off their bitcoin.
A dip from 107k to 104k is not enough to say it was a result of the unrest in the region.

There is an about zero chance markets will not be affected by events as big as a full out war.  Bitcoin is no different.  Humans are looking for safety and safety can mean multiple things.  It can be Bitcoin, as safety against inflationary assets.  It can be selling Bitcoin for USD to purchase things that may be necessary in the situation of a larger scale war or other catastrophes.  Or it can be any thing else.

Of course there will be a 'downtrend' when events that negatively affect the entire globe happen.  Are you expecting hype with all these tensions?  After all, what is the point in becoming a multi millionaire if the end feels near.

That usually happens everytime there's a war between two powerful countries. So it's not an exception. It ruins market confidance to a great extent. However, it may be a temporary situation. I didn't see Bitcoin going down below 100k yet. So I wouldn't say that crypto market is greatly affected. However, stock markets are indeed affected big time.

But don't be surprised if Bitcoin goes below the current level. It may present an opportunity for us to buy more Bitcoins at a lower price. As of now, I don't see anything else to do apart from keeping some cash aside to buy more.

Nope, it just a normal volatility, Bitcoin is still stay above $100K, nothing to worry.

The war between Israel-Iran isn't that big compared to Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine because I don't see Israel-Iran news in my social medias.

You shouldn't expect Bitcoin price will always rising and when the price down, it always affected by news or events. Sometime it just because of supply and demand, the variable of supply and demand always change.

The market situation may be slightly affected by the war between Israel and Iran, but it cannot be said that it is time for BTC to fall again. When the developed countries of the world go through wars, the market situation is unbalanced, which affects the price of BTC slightly.

However, for those waiting to buy Bitcoin, an opportunity may arise to buy BTC at a low price. In a bad market situation, instead of buying Bitcoin at a high price, everyone is more interested in buying Bitcoin at a low cost. The war between Israel and Iran is going on at a time when the price of Bitcoin was at its highest. This situation will change. There may be an opportunity for those waiting to buy Bitcoin cheaply. I don't know if it will happen, but I think there will be an opportunity.

In my personal opinion, Bitcoin's movement looks stable and there has been no significant decline during the conflict between Israel and Iran, and what needs to be known is that during this time and for the past 10 years, the price of Bitcoin has remained resilient and fine during wars or armed conflicts that have occurred, including the war between Israel and Iran, and Bitcoin continues to show extraordinary resilience.

And in my opinion, what happened to Bitcoin is just a healthy correction that does not need to be worried about or associated with other things because whatever happens to Bitcoin's current movement, in the end the price will go back up and it's just a matter of time, which often happens to Bitcoin and this is just healthy volatility.

When there is a war, of course it will affect everything, especially since this war seems to be continuing and getting deeper. On the other hand, of course this war will spread and have an impact on the world's financial system including the crypto market. We can see that after the war between Iran and Israel exploded, the price of crude oil rose 6% and the price of Bitcoin fell to $ 103k after previously reaching $ 109k.

However, even so, in a state of war like this, there is only one type of bitcoin investment instrument that benefits. It could even be that the geopolitical conflict between Iran and Israel has the potential to push up the price of btc, in the following month even though the beginning of the war experienced a slight correction and that is natural. If we look at the historical data of Bitcoin in 2010, it shows that on average Bitcoin rose more than 31.2% in the 50 days after a major event occurred, and maybe this year will be like that too, we just need to be together because the price of Bitcoin will definitely recover.

Come on.  Not every single drop has to be a 'healthy' correction.  Sometimes markets simply react in a negative way and it is all right.

There’s nothing new with bitcoin. At times, it can be be affected but stay resilient all throughout the war. Currently, bitcoin has remained stable all throughout this war event, but there’s also possibilities that bitcoin price will later on get affected and create a temporary price decline. After that, it will end up showing recovery again that could lead to reaching another all time high.

If there is a good buying opportunity happening in the market, regardless of its reason, then keep buying. The war may certainly come to an end, but if you miss the opportunity when bitcoin price has drop low, it’s like you lose future profits then.

Bitcoin price may be slightly affected for now, but once new positive news will hit the market, bitcoin price will surely take a leap, same with old, previous scenarios.

The war between Israel and Iran is definitely affecting the market to some extent. Although the Bitcoin market will remain volatile, the war between these two countries is affecting it to some extent, and if the war intensifies, the market could be affected even more. However, I hope that the war between the two countries does not escalate and ends here because war never brings anything good.

Maybe more or less this war will have an impact on the market, as we can see at the beginning of Isreal attacking Iran, there was panic in the market which caused prices to drop significantly, Bitcoin itself experienced a decline of 4%-5%, from the price level of $108k down to $104k and even the price had dumped to the level of $102k.

Until now the price has been sideways, waiting for the right moment to breakout, hopefully the price will breakout resistance so that the market will return to uptrend to create a new ATH.

This I agree with and is very relatable.

Bitcoin as we know it hasn’t been a pump and pump currency. While it might respond to certain events happing around the would given that, there are demands and supply in everywhere you look, a 3-5% drop doesn’t make any significance to the market for real. Bitcoin is just doing its normal rounds as always, dump and pump. Now I’m sure we don’t enjoy the dump but, volatility is a part of this very much.

Panic and trying to sell aggressively is clearly a fairly natural condition for those who always use the short term as a goal because they don't want to lose momentum and geopolitics which are always used as reasons for them to have the opportunity to sell for classic reasons, but in the end this is also not a sign that bitcoin is time to go down because corrections like this will still be considered normal for some people.

What I'm doing now is just continuing what I've been doing, the market is volatile every day even every hour it's become a daily meal but that's not a problem and is the reason I have to sell like everyone else because with this there are several conditions where I can take advantage of as a continuation of the purchases I've made so far.
It doesn't mean I want to look naive but when the goal has been set in the long term why do I feel panicked and dizzy when a correction occurs because this can be considered a normal thing.

Not only the conflict between Israel and Iran impacted the market price, but  also the attack of sparrow group to nobitex a crypto exchange in iran added another blow and fear to the community.

No, it's not time for a downtrend. The current situation between Iran and Israel isn't that surprising considering that the two nations have been in conflict with each other for decades. If one attacks the other anytime, nobody would say it's completely unexpected. So far there's no indication that the market cares a lot.

On the day of Israel's surprise attack on Iran, the price dipped. But it's hard to say it's due to the attack because a week prior to that, when the region was relatively peaceful, the price also experienced a sudden dip. Bitcoin almost lost its 6-digit price that day.

Right now, the bombing is ongoing. There's no sign of de-escalation. Bitcoin's price rises and falls like in any normal day. I'm seeing no indication that the market is worried.

The escalation between Israel and Iran created the instability in the crypto. Nobitex as iranian's exchange gets impact because of the escalation. They got hacked by Israel's hacker, and may be the reason why bitcoin down a bit.

However, it will comeback later once people already adapted to the situation. This reminds me with Russia and Ukraine. People get panicked when the war begun, then getting back normally after years.

Don't worry and be happy.  The down is just temporary, but dunno if US is also joining in the war soon.

It is encouraging that the price didn't dip so much with the onset of this most recent conflict, but the truth is we would all be better off if the world was in a more peaceful state. We already had 2 ongoing wars (at least), no we are adding this new one into the mix... I'll tell you, personally its no good for my business. Nobody cares about what I'm selling if the prospects of WW3 are on the horizon. Makes it hard to care about Bitcoin as well. The entire economy thrives when the world is at peace and dies when the world is at war.

What are you talking about? The current BTC price level is 105K USD, which is pretty good. I'm surprised that the Bitcoin price didn't drop below 100K or below 90K because of the Israel-Iran conflict. Maybe there will be a summer price drop, which won't be caused by the global geopolitical situation. I still don't believe that the situation in the Middle East would escalate. Maybe the two countries will keep attacking each other with missiles and battle drones, but there won't be an attack with nuclear bombs. A potential BTC price decline won't be a bad thing right now. It feels that the market is pretty optimistic about the long term price growth, so any short term price disturbances would be a great buying opportunity.

Although the current war between Israel and Iran does not have a direct impact on bitcoin, when tensions occur, it often causes investors to panic, causing a momentary downward trend in the price of bitcoin, and this has often been experienced by the bitcoin market when there is a heated war between countries. However, because the current decline is only temporary, we don't need to worry too much about it and it's a good idea to take advantage of this decline to buy bitcoin because when tensions begin to subside, the price of bitcoin will slowly recover.

Funny how just a month ago every analyst was screaming that Middle East tensions were bullish for Bitcoin. Now the same people claim it’s bearish.

Truth is—investors don’t care about blood or bombs. They only care about one thing: markets and money. It’s not about missiles, it’s about Powell. Markets move when the Fed speaks. Everything else is just noise for the headlines.

Not too much impact on the Bitcoin market price of the conflict between the two countries. The market price for Bitcoin before and during the conflict, the market price of Bitcoin is still in a state of good defense.
If the conflict situation causes the market price of Bitcoin to drop below $100,000, I and many other people out there will buy and I think people are waiting for a downtrend in the midst of this heated conflict.

It would a good opportunity to accumulate more, that's totally valid and true.

However, we may never know where the bottom would be from this event, so we just need to gradually buy on the price that goes down (if it ever goes down that sharply).

DCA.
Use it in every purchase action if you don't know when the lowest point is because waiting to buy until you know the low point will only prevent you from moving forward. This is for Bitcoin, if it's an altcoin it's up to you what you want to do with your own responsibility.

$104,000 is still the best price. Indecisive, people continue to move with large portfolios.

There is a bit of responsibility on BTC too, but yeah, I agree with this take: on it, you don't worry too much and don't have too, looking through the past cycles that were already there..

Bitcoin is just a financial market and its trend is determined by investor sentiment. Meanwhile, war, geopolitical and economic instability...always cause confusion for investors, so bitcoin dumping is inevitable. Bitcoin does not exist independently, it is like many other assets, financial markets, so it is not immune to those events. We should not deny that.

As usual, everything is just a short term impact, everything will recover soon. Not just Bitcoin, other markets will also adapt and recover.

It is just another correction that always happen so you don't have to worry with anything even if that is about the war between Israel and Iran. Bitcoin will be back to the right track soon after the price increase and reach the last ATH. Bitcoin will get stronger than now and even if the situation still affect with the war, that will not affect to Bitcoin price. But we have different opinion to the current situation and that is fine. This down price will be good for us because we can buy back at a low price and keep holding our Bitcoin.

I agree with this, but these events affect broader markets - which in turn, go to crypto markets too.

So in a way, it does affect BTC too.

The world does not want to face such a situation, but recently politics has reached a point where people are being forced to go to war. Due to the war, they cannot decide what to do with their wealth in a short time. The market is not reacting in that way due to the recent war between Iran and Israel. The market is rather moving towards a slightly downward position. We generally understand that when a long-term war starts, people try to keep their investments in gold or something else to protect themselves from financial recession. Currently, Bitcoin is considered a digital asset. Since there is no physical existence in investing in this asset, there is enough interest in investing in it by the general public. Although the price of Bitcoin is slightly low, the price of Bitcoin will also increase as the war situation changes.

Yes also US markets are closed today & futures are all down. The market is really uncertain right now, there’s a big fear that America will get involved in the war. If that happens, we are fucked short term. Bitcoin will dump if that news comes out. I really hope this conflict is ended soon.

Exactly 30 days ago price of bitcoin on 19 May 2025 was 104k and today on 19 Jun 2025 it's still on 104k. During last 30 days, price of Bitcoin is revolving in between 100k to 110k. The recent conflict between Iran and Israel has not impacted very much on price of bitcoin. Already we have Russia Ukraine war in progress and now Israel has attacked Iran. Price of Bitcoin has gone stagnant and investors are looking for it to either go up or down from here.

Peace is very important for humanity. Let's hope that all conflicts going on in the world are over soon, so that people all over the world can live peacefully and focus on investing in Bitcoin.       

Too much fear in the market, things can easily go wrong within just days, but the fact that BTC still above $100k is a good thing.

However, I won't be surprised if BTC is going down to the level of 97k, because BTC has history of going down to support level first before reaching new all time high.just see the 4h chart.

Any conflict, market participants can take advantage of the situation, but not expect the war to continue because it is not good for humanity.
The price has not decreased in the past month if $104k on May 19 and June 20 is still strong at the same price yesterday and now a slight increase to $106k.

Before Iran Israel, it was Ukraine Russia. The market situation in the Iran Israel conflict investors can already understand how the attitude should be made, learning from the hot situation of Ukraine Russia.

No one wants war to happen because peace is the dream of life.

I haven’t seen much impact of the war on bitcoin price, bitcoin price dropped a little bit, but I won’t say it’s the impact of war, I see the drop as a correction which is normal. I expected more dump from bitcoin, but the current bitcoin price is not really bad.

The only time I know that the war will cause serious impact on bitcoin price if the United State of America joins the wall. The United State have been saying it that they will be attacking Iran, but we haven’t seen them take any action yet, but immediately they start, then let’s expect bitcoin price to drop. I just pray they will all settle soon, war is not what we want, and effect of war are felt by every country even if the country is not involve in the war directly.

Currently bitcoin price has dropped into $103k which I think isn’t a bad deal. Bitcoin has its own price correction and price decline, so this isn’t something new for us. However, if bitcoin price will be seen dropping consistently until it settles below $100k, for me this is already the impact of the said war. But rest assured, bitcoin price has its own recovery phase, we just have to be patient and be open about bitcoin price correction and its going sideways.

They will wage war over that land until either all the goys or infidels are destroyed.
They have been at war for it since before BC

Take all people in Jerusalem and move them away and nuke it so no 1 can inhabit it from radiation is the best thing that can happen for our species, other than my legit coin concept.

 

There has been no significant progress in the price of Bitcoin in the last few days, but its price is decreasing. Although this is not a long-term thing, if the Bitcoin price has been slightly downward in the recent past, I am confident that the price of Bitcoin can change at any time. There is often good news in the market at this time, especially if there is a signal of an end to the war, then the Bitcoin price will soon return to its previous position and may even exceed its previous high. However, this now depends on which direction the war situation will progress.

Since the start of the war, it seems today only dump Bitcoin. Until yesterday the market was quite stable even though there was war. The longer the war, we may see more dumps as well. Because traders sentiments were affected due to panic, it's normal behaviour during the war. As a human I really don't support any war, because war just destroys; it doesn't build anything at all.

I am expecting Bitcoin to drop below $100K as long as the war doesn't stop. Today's dump is one of the symbols about the dump. Holders, when they become panicked, will think to sell their holdings. I believe we will see another accumulation zone for those who want to enter on Bitcoin.

There might be a little impact of the war on Bitcoin, it is usually temporary like before, but I am sure Bitcoin will recover easily after it is over. Other than that, I feel there is something else related to it that makes the market go down, namely the news about the hacker attack on one of Iran's largest crypto exchanges:  Iran crypto exchange hit by hackers, $90 million destroyed (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-crypto-exchange-hit-by-hackers-90-million-destroyed-2025-06-18/)

In fact, when Bitcoin experiences a decline in value, it is a very good opportunity to increase the number of Bitcoins owned, and I think we should hold and increase, so as not to miss a moment like this.

Well, economic downtrends, countries in conflict, etc., are not a new thing for us. The impact we will still feel and cause a market drop, but it will turn back high again. Therefore, I don't see that we need to worry about the current situation between Iran and Iraq. The war will be over soon, and the economy will grow again. Things like this seem to mean we need to prepare. Everything will happen in crypto, up and down. Making a reason for us not to raise emotion, instead, we remain calm.

Bitcoin is a highly volatile speculative asset and even without a war it can be dumped at any time. Bitcoin can also be dumped just because of news like an exchange being hacked, a whale selling a large amount of Bitcoin to the market...Therefore, we do not need to be surprised when news like war, major political instability affects Bitcoin.

This is not new, we should not be surprised or worried even if the war lasts, bitcoin will still recover and grow because bitcoin is very adaptable. Look at the war between Russia and Ukraine, it's been going on for 4 years but Bitcoin doesn't seem to care or be affected by it anymore. Likewise, regardless of whether the Israel-Iran war ends or not, bitcoin will no longer be affected by it over time.

Yes, before the news of war between Israel and Iran came up, Bitcoin's price was around $108K  something like that. But once the news broke that these countries were attacking each other, Bitcoin's price reacted and decreased slightly, which I see as a normal thing. When there's any kind of bad news, Bitcoin price always reacts. I think this is usually caused by a certain group of investors who panic easily and start selling their Bitcoin.

However, what I observed about this Israel and Iran war is that it doesn’t involve two major countries that are particularly Bitcoin friendly countries, so it may not affect Bitcoin too much. If it were something that could significantly affect Bitcoin, the price probably wouldn't still be above $100K.as for me, I don’t think the price of Bitcoin will drop that deeply, so I have no fear. And if it does happen to dip as expected, I believe it will recover as soon as they stop attacking each other.and those who was panicking may sold their Bitcoin i thought Bitcoin price will that will dump may try to still by back.

I am even surprised that Bitcoin is still maintaining its price value close to $100k, I was actually that by now, the price would have dropped far below $100k, but all the same, I am very happy for how stable the price of Bitcoin has been all through the war, only losing a small part of its value.

Altcoins on the other hand have also tried even though some of them are not find the negative impact of the war easy to cope with, but then, all eyes are on bitcoin as far as I know, very few are interested in how Altcoins are performing are this very moment..

And thank goodness bitcoin have managed to maintain a relatively stable price so far, assuming the price have dropped significantly below its current price which is $99k, most Altcoins would have been far below what they are currently..
But as we can see. The price of Bitcoin is still going down, lets hope for some positive things happening that will take the price up again before things become very bad again.

This is not true anymore, please don't repeat things you read on the internet without thinking. Bitcoin is a low volatility asset, and it is not speculative. Its price is built on use cases and demand for good money.

That's damn right! Bitcoin is very stable, and major negative events like this only have a small impact on its price.

Actually, it’s been like this in the past years, remember when Bitcoin dipped to around $3K? That was during major global tensions too. The only difference right now is that Bitcoin is backed by major countries so it's kind of a big assurance that bitcoin might recover soon after this downtrend due to Israel-iran situation, so yeah.. we might experience it soon and this is the time that our knowledge will be tested, like if we're good enough to hold these assets and be aware on any global news right now. A lot will panic sell, even if you're familiar with it, people will take advantage of those who'll sell and that's the reason why we're having a downtrend even we know how solid bitcoin today.

A great quote, worth repeating here is "bitcoin always looks dumpiest before pumpiest".
It always makes me smile, not because it's funny, but because it's so true.

Just chill while leveraged traders are being liquidated. The market is far more than Wall Street and this was Wall Street selling.

Just look at the hours.
For instance US NY time is GMT-4.
The stock exchange opens at 9:30.
Check out what happens at 10-12 a.m. GMT-4
June 17 - dump >> FED meeting
June 20 -dump >> war tensions
Now it's funds dumping all round prior to Monday Opening, expecting bloodbath.


In the grand scheme of things it does not matter. Bitcoin is still the same bitcoin that people were paying 110k to get just weeks back and now they are scared of Jews escalating matters into World War 3, but Bitcoin will outlive this war and all its perpetrators. Netanyahu and Trump will be long dead and we'll be using bitcoin like we do today.

It's getting realer day by day that wars affect Bitcoin negatively.

It wasn't so much before, as Bitcoin was able to maintain its stance above $100k when the Israel-Iran conflict broke out. This happened until the US finally joined the war yesterday, and now Bitcoin has hit close to $98k today, who knows where it will hit in the next 1 week? Nevertheless, it was extremely overbought before now, which could be contributory.

If things escalate, - we will see more of the downtrend which we don't feel as much as it could if been.

I hope it will all end soon and there will not be anything preventing us to gain knowledge and accumulate BTC..

I don't know if that has changed and this is the first time I've seen someone say bitcoin is a low volatility asset  ;D ;D ;D.
But in the most recent bear season (2022), the price of bitcoin fell from $69k to below $15k, meaning bitcoin lost 78% of its value. Or most recently, Trump's tariff war sent Bitcoin's price down from $109k to below $77k, or 30%. If it's not a speculative asset, what should we call it? But I'm sure it's not a safe haven.

No one denies that bitcoin's value comes from use cases, demand...but that doesn't mean it's not subject to manipulation or speculation. Manipulation and speculation are part of the financial markets and bitcoin is no exception.

That is not how you analyze the volatility of something. You can't just pick the top and bottom price of a whole cycle and say that something is volatile. Look it up on Google. Second, something that fluctuates in value does not make something a speculative asset. Rad the definitions of things before you go on repeating words that most forum users here don't understand. Bitcoin is a low volatility, safe haven, hard money asset class. There is no second best thing in the world. Most of the SP500 stock was more volatile than Bitcoin this year, but hey you don't see spammers calling those speculative volatile assets.  :)

One thing about Bitcoin is that it's difficult to predict during war. I noticed that it could be pressured in the wake of the war, but as time goes on, it will stabilise and start moving up again.

Two factors are expected to determine what will happen with respect to the Israel-Iran conflict, and they are:

1. The Bitcoin community and
2. The overbought and oversold condition of the coin on the higher timeframes.

If history is a loop,  we are in the place where reality bites, again. Middle East tension (this time: Israel, Iran) has always been the signals of every asset class. Bitcoin is still chained to the real world. Human drama, panic all over the world, two countries on the brink... That leaks into the charts, no matter how decentralized you may wish your self-image to be. You can’t build firewalls against fear.

People read the headlines and then pick up their phones to look at the charts. One habit feeds the next, and before long it is all a matter of routine. The algorithmic sell orders fly when the missiles fly. Fear triggers bots, bots trigger humans. The boundary between logic and panic is lost. Put aside store of value a moment. Forget safe haven. Then, BTC is just another heartbeat in a market that is addicted to drama.

Another downtrend? Maybe. Or just more volatility, since the world cannot resist looking itself in the mirror. However, sometimes, the sell off is the buy signals, the panic the opportunity and the drama becomes the invitation. If the world’s ending, nobody wants to hold paper.
