The price of Bitcoin ($BTC ) has experienced a downward reaction, falling below $100,000 after U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran. This news has generated geopolitical uncertainty and affected sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
Despite the initial drop, some traders and market analysts are optimistic and suggest that geopolitical events, such as armed conflicts, have historically served as a "springboard" for the price of Bitcoin. It is mentioned that in 2022, BTC saw a significant increase after the start of the war in Ukraine, even while in a bear market. Now, in 2025, with Bitcoin in what is considered a bull market, some expect that war tensions could, paradoxically, benefit the cryptocurrency as a "safe haven" or "secure" asset.
The price analysis suggests that an important support level or "local bottom" could be around $97,000, according to the liquidity in the order book. However, BTC is heading towards its lowest weekly close since early May, indicating a period of volatility. The current geopolitical situation adds an element of unpredictability for the near future of the price of $BTC .
