On Sunday, June 15, 2025, the global crypto market still shows a dominance of red, indicating a continued decline in prices across most digital assets. This condition is significantly influenced by the ongoing escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran, which has entered a phase of direct attacks against each other, and is now entering a phase of awaiting further responses. This extreme uncertainty continues to trigger strong risk-off sentiment in the market.
Main Trigger: Continued Escalation of the Israel-Iran Conflict
Even though it's Sunday and traditional markets are closed, the 24/7 crypto market continues to digest developments in the Middle East conflict.
* Direct Counterattack Confirmed: Israel has confirmed launching a counterattack against Iran early Saturday (June 14) after a previous Iranian attack. This is a dangerous escalation as both countries directly attack each other.
* Iran's Claims and Denials (Latest): Iran's claim of shooting down an Israeli F-35 jet remains unverified independently; some sources even deny it or state that no significant damage occurred in Israel. However, the claims themselves add to the uncertainty.
* Awaiting the Next Steps: Global attention is now focused on Tehran and Jerusalem, waiting to see if there will be a further response from Iran, or if Israel will launch another attack. The rhetoric from both sides remains harsh, with threats and stern warnings being issued.
* Airspace Closures: Several countries in the Middle East, including Israel, Jordan, and Iran, continue to close or restrict their airspace for civilian flights, indicating a very high level of alertness.
Impact of the Conflict on Global Markets (Continuing into Sunday)
The "risk-off" sentiment due to this geopolitical escalation continues to dominate, even on a typically quieter Sunday:
* Oil and Gold Prices at High Levels: Global crude oil prices and gold as a safe-haven asset maintain the high levels reached on Friday, reflecting concerns about supply disruptions and uncertainty.
* Ongoing Crypto Volatility: Although crypto trading volumes tend to be lower on weekends, the market remains vulnerable to sharp movements if there is any breaking news related to the conflict. Investors tend to maintain their defensive positions.
* Monday Morning Preparations: Global market participants will closely monitor this situation throughout Sunday, anticipating the opening of stock and commodity markets on Monday morning (WIB), which is expected to reflect continued selling pressure.
Continued Impact on the Crypto Market This Sunday
* Bitcoin (BTC) Under Selling Pressure: Bitcoin remains under selling pressure, with prices struggling at key support levels. High fear sentiment (FUD) is causing investors to pull liquidity from the market.
* Altcoins Highly Vulnerable: Most altcoins continue to face significant losses and extreme volatility. Investors tend to offload higher-risk assets in such situations.
* Macro Implications (Inflation & Interest Rates): The potential spike in inflation due to high oil prices, combined with geopolitical uncertainty, could lead central banks to delay interest rate cuts, which historically is less favorable for risk assets like crypto.#marketbear $BTC
