🔴 Last night, Israel launched a military operation against Iran, striking military and nuclear facilities. Geopolitical escalations of this level almost always trigger a shock reaction in the markets — and crypto is no exception.
📉 In moments of global tension, investors flee to liquidity or traditional safe-haven assets. The market is already reacting with increased volatility: the VIX index — the so-called “fear index,” which measures expected volatility of the S&P 500 — has surged sharply. This often precedes sell-offs of risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
💬 As a trader, in such moments, I:
— Reduce leverage and risk on positions
— Monitor BTC correlation with the stock market
— Check liquidity on CEX/DEX
In light of the news — volatility will be extremely high. This is a time for discipline, not emotions.
