Iranian Missiles Missed Bitcoin

move to trading board

Hehehehe agreed! Move to trading subforum because these types of threads are beginning to become a triggerance for more annoyance and negative predictions!

In any case, it appears that we might witness more dumps if this war on Iran will not stop. This is the Trump dump!



In what's become a familiar scenario in crypto over the past few months, prices are starting the week on the wrong foot.

After little sign over the weekend of any de-escalation in the U.S. war against Iran, the price of oil has exploded higher in Sunday evening U.S. trade. April WTI crude oil futures are currently up 19.1% to $108.35 per barrel. That's roughly double the price at the start of 2026 and the highest level in about four years.

That surge, in turn, has sent U.S. stock index futures down by nearly 2% across the board. Futures for Japan's Nikkei 225 are lower by 3.1% shortly before that stock market opens for Monday trade. Bitcoin is lower by 2% and trading just below $66,000. Ether (ETH) and solana (SOL) are down closer to 1.4%.

A check of other commodity prices finds the precious metals and copper all trading modestly lower.

Looking at who is affected (middleEast) or the assets that are directly affected, I feel like it's all manipulation of the markets... We all know that distabilizing OIL movements and production tinkers with supply and demand forcing price to raise, and already some countries are already feeling the pinch from the wars as commodity prices slowly start to increase...but as crypto enthusiasts we are all watching what or how crypto reacts to all this..but as of today seems some gains have been recorded.

And it's really hard to see where the price is going to be, when the news broke of the war, the price did bounce back to above $72k, then it went down hard again. But now it seems a increased to $70k. So as crypto enthusiast, very difficult to even predict of the price and it just shows how volatile the market and how news like this could impact us short term. Even if gains have been recorded today, we still don't know if we can sustain the run or not. And lest we forget, we are in the bearish market now so prices might go and decline even if there are no news of the war.

Those who have invested in AI stocks and gold are tired, but in this war situation, its price is in a good position and is high. In that case, since the war in the Middle East had the biggest impact on the global oil trade, its demand increased greatly in many countries of the world, which resulted in the oil market growing rapidly. However, this time is very good for those who are retailers and for buyers like us, it will be too late to invest in gold and AI stocks, its price is already much higher. Currently, since we have seen a lot of changes in the price of Bitcoin and it is currently in the $70k, which will not disappoint us and will not tire us. In that case, if we want, we can invest in Bitcoin instead of AI stocks and gold at this time, its price has not increased relatively much yet.

This made me to asked if actually the war affecting bitcoin price?
Yes, I just got an alert on my phone from my Binance app about bitcoin touching around 70k.
This is to show that the price has somehow increased from 67k to 70k maybe , who knows we could crosses back the 74k it previously touched if there is no much panicking in the market.

Looks like both retail and institutional traders are just… tired of crypto. The hot tickets now are AI stocks, gold, and—as of today—oil. And you're still trading Bitcoin?

Both retail and institutional investors are temporarily "tired of crypto". They will come back as soon as they smell profits. The good thing about crypto(and almost every financial market in general) is the fact that the bear market always comes to an end and the bull market returns.
The USA and Israel didn't choose to hit Iran on the weekend because of the potential panic on the financial and commodity markets. It was well known that the strikes over Iran will continue for more than two weeks and this would cause some panic on the markets. If Trump was so concerned about the markets going down, he would've never ordered the attacks against Iran in the first place.
