$ADA During times of impending conflict or instability, investors usually shift toward short-term government debt and cash to prioritize safety over market volatility. However, Bitcoin has historically delivered strong performance in the week following sudden spikes in oil prices—like the recent surge to $77 per barrel on Friday.

This counterintuitive trend suggests that while traditional markets seek refuge in low-risk assets, a segment of investors increasingly views Bitcoin as a hedge against geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin and its independence from centralized financial systems may be driving this behavior. As digital assets mature, their role in diversified portfolios appears to be evolving, especially during global disruptions.
