Bitcoin: Iran Dictates the Market Tempo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump’s speech from the White House on Wednesday evening dashed hopes of a swift easing of tensions in the Middle East. Rather than offering the path to deescalation that markets had anticipated, the US president promised to strike Iran “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks, specifying that American forces are nearing the completion of Operation Epic Fury. Bitcoin<\/a> immediately dropped by 2.2%<\/strong> to fall back below $66,600<\/strong>, wiping out the previous day’s gains in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil prices reversed their trend and climbed back above $100 a barrel<\/strong>, reigniting concerns over supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. This move dragged all risk assets down in its wake: equities, US futures, and cryptocurrencies retreated simultaneously, confirming that Bitcoin is once again behaving as a high beta asset rather than an uncorrelated store of value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BREAKING: US oil prices surge above $104\/barrel following President Trump's address to the nation on the Iran War.

Tonight is truly one of the more puzzling nights for investors.
