The crypto market <\/a>is experiencing a highly volatile week. The VIX surged by 13.16%<\/strong> in a single session, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq suffered a severe correction, and Brent crude is climbing due to tensions in the Middle East. The Binance<\/a> Research report confirms that the VIX index dropped from 35 to 23<\/strong> over seven days, while Goldman Sachs estimated that CTA strategies could trigger between $35 billion and $87 billion<\/strong> in selloffs across equity markets over the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Bitcoin, this backdrop creates a paradoxical situation. On one hand, its correlation with traditional markets forces BTC to react to the same macro triggers. On the other, Binance Research highlights a crucial point: geopolitical shocks driven by oil do not break BTC, but systemic events native to crypto do. Between March 2 and March 17, 2026, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $1.7 billion<\/strong> despite the geopolitical turmoil. This figure indicates that institutional investors are buying while retail investors panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
