The U.S. military action in Venezuela has not caused a major crash in the crypto market. Instead, the market showed a brief, modest dip followed by resilience, with $BTC price remaining around the $90,000 level. Analysts largely view the sell-off as a temporary reaction, and very low possibility of a sustained crash.
Possibility of Future Crash/Volatility:
While a crash has not occurred yet, the possibility of future volatility remains.
Traditional Market Reaction: Traditional markets (oil, gold, global equities) were closed over the weekend. Analysts expect more volatility when these "big players" return and react to the news on Monday, January 5, 2026.
Escalation of Conflict: The long-term market impact will largely depend on whether the U.S.-Venezuela conflict escalates into a broader regional issue.
Historical Precedent: Past geopolitical shocks have led to sharp, short-term sell-offs in digital assets; for instance, a U.S. strike on Iranian facilities in June 2025 caused $BTC and $ETH to drop over 5% in value.
