Bitcoin proves its strength amid global chaos: Resilience in the face of geopolitical conflicts
By: Michael Tabone, Chief Economist at Cointelegraph
🔥 Bitcoin withstands despite the rockets!
On June 21, 2025, American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities shook global markets, but Bitcoin (BTC) showed remarkable stability. Its price only dropped by 1.27% in 24 hours, from $99,965 to $100,760 by the end of the week, surpassing the psychological level of $100,000. 💪 This performance reflects Bitcoin's strength as an asset that reacts to global news without collapsing, making it the focus of traders and investors during times of turmoil.
🚀 Bitcoin amid the Iranian-Israeli conflict:
Stability amid the storm. From June 12 to June 22, 2025, tensions escalated between Iran and Israel, with mutual rocket attacks and American airstrikes. 📡
📌 Market reaction: Organized drop to $98,286 without panic or crash.
📌 Rapid recovery: Bitcoin closed above $100,000 again, supported by strong technical levels like the 200-day moving average at $95,567. 📈
📌 The clear message: Bitcoin is not immune to tensions, but it demonstrates structural resilience in the face of chaos.
📌 Analyst comment:
Peter Schiff, the famous Bitcoin critic, asked on platform X: "Who buys when the price drops below $100,000 other than Michael Saylor?" But the market responded strongly, as sentiment returned to support the important psychological level.
Why does Bitcoin withstand geopolitical crises?
Historically, Bitcoin shows positive behavior during geopolitical disruptions:
2020: US-Iran tensions reinforced Bitcoin's stability.
2022: The Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed Bitcoin as an uncorrelated hedge.
2025: The Iranian-Israeli conflict proved its resilience once again. BlackRock's 2024 report confirms this pattern, where Bitcoin outperformed the S&P 500 and gold during previous crises. 📊 While stocks fluctuate and gold swings, Bitcoin tends to rise or maintain its stability, enhancing its position as a hedge asset in times of uncertainty.
Macroeconomics: The true driver of Bitcoin
Despite the impact of geopolitical news, macroeconomic factors remain the driving force of Bitcoin's price in the medium term:
January 2025: Trump's inauguration sparked volatility, but Bitcoin held firm.
February-June 2025: US inflation data (CPI) and Federal Reserve forecasts moved the market more than the conflicts.
June 16: BlackRock's $412 million inflows into Bitcoin ETFs helped peak at $108,915.
These events show that Bitcoin is influenced more by monetary policies and institutional flows than by the passing rockets.
What does this mean for traders and investors?
✅ Opportunity in volatility: Short-term declines like those in June are often buying opportunities.
✅ Focus on the long term: Bitcoin shows structural resilience, supported by ETF flows and institutional adoption.
✅ Filtering noise from the signal: Don't let geopolitical headlines scare you; focus on technical and economic indicators. Golden advice: Watch support levels at $95,000-$100,000, and long-term moving averages to identify strategic entry points.
Summary:
Bitcoin is stronger than fear. Amid the rockets of June 2025, Bitcoin proved to be not just a digital asset, but a financial force that withstands the pressures of global chaos. Its relative stability and rapid recovery enhance its role as a hedge in a turbulent world. 🌍 Are you ready to seize the upcoming opportunities?
