Doctor Profit's hedge short at $108,700 cushions against further downside as Bitcoin rebounds from strong $103,100 support.
Bitcoin’s long-term trend remains intact despite geopolitical shocks, with institutions buying dips while retail traders exit in fear.
War-driven volatility causes short-term panic, but history shows markets, including Bitcoin, recover and rally beyond previous highs.
Bitcoin retested the $103,100 support level following heightened geopolitical tensions that triggered a wave of short-term market panic. According to Doctor Profit, a popular crypto analyst, Bitcoin was poised for a breakout before fears of a new war halted the rally. He entered a hedge short position at $108,700 just hours before the sharp decline.
This timely move protected his spot holdings, allowing strategic flexibility amid rising volatility. Currently, his hedge remains open, serving as a buffer against further downside. The big question now is whether tensions will escalate or ease. The next market move depends on that.

Moreover, the recent bounce from $103,100 confirms strong support at that level. Despite the temporary halt in Bitcoin’s uptrend, the setup remains favorable. Doctor Profit noted that with this structure, the position is risk-protected. If Bitcoin crashes, profits from the hedge short will compensate. If Bitcoin returns to $108K, the short converts into a profitable trade. Hence, the outlook remains strategically balanced. Volatility, however, is still high, and steep 5–10% intraday drops are still on the table.
Short-Term Fear vs. Long-Term Trends
Besides this tactical play, broader market analysis suggests short-term dips driven by geopolitical news may not break Bitcoin’s long-term trend. Stockmoney Lizards, another respected market analyst, emphasized that major war events since 2022 have only caused temporary disruptions. Every red arrow aligns with global events, yet Bitcoin has continued climbing.
Bitcoin moved from $35,000 to over $105,000 despite the Ukraine war and other global tensions. Consequently, market responses to war fears appear largely psychological. Retail investors panic and sell. Institutions accumulate during the dip. The pattern remains consistent.
Institutions Accumulate While Retail Panics
Furthermore, history shows that wars rarely derail financial markets long-term. After World War II, global markets quickly recovered and soared to new highs. The same behavior unfolds in crypto today. Smart money uses the fear to collect cheaper coins, while uninformed sellers exit on red headlines.

Therefore, even in the event of a more profound downturn, it probably presents a chance for accumulation. Although geopolitical issues may cause temporary disruption, they have little bearing on Bitcoin's long-term course. Trading the volatility with discipline rather than emotion is crucial.
