Trump’s Ultimatum and Bitcoin’s Unexpected Resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitics brutally enters financial markets, but the queen of cryptocurrencies refuses to bend. Following US strikes on Kharg Island, the true jewel of Iranian oil exports, Donald Trump issued a chilling warning. On Truth Social, he claimed to have spared energy infrastructure “out of decency,” while threatening to reconsider this decision if Iran continues blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Such escalation would historically have triggered a violent bearish<\/strong> movement on risk assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> displays spectacular resilience. After a brief correction<\/strong> Friday following initial announcements, the price quickly erased its losses to stabilize around $70,500.<\/strong> Far from succumbing to panic, BTC even posted a 4.2% weekly gain. Traders seem to have priced in geopolitical risk, transforming what could have been a crash into a simple accumulation phase before a potential breakout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relative strength demonstrates growing maturity in the crypto market. Where traditional investors flee to safe havens, crypto<\/a> whales capitalize on every retracement<\/strong> to accumulate. The $71,000 level now acts as a major psychological support, proving that selling pressure is exhausting against increasingly fierce institutional demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$100 Oil and Fed Meeting: The Explosive Cocktail for Cryptos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While bombs shake the Middle East, it’s the oil barrel price that gives economists cold sweats. With crude propelled above $100, the specter of galloping inflation resurfaces. This energy surge comes at the worst time, just before the highly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for March 17-18<\/strong>. Markets, which hoped for imminent rate cuts, now fear a restrictive discourse from Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BREAKING: US oil prices surge above $99\/barrel, now up nearly +10% on the week.

Once again, the US appears to be losing control of the oil market.
