🚨🇮🇱🇸🇾 URGENT: ISRAEL BOMBS THE CAPITAL OF SYRIA
How does it affect cryptocurrencies?
Israel has just carried out a series of intense airstrikes in Damascus (the capital of Syria), targeting Syrian government and military buildings, in what is described as a significant escalation of its intervention in Syria 💀
According to multiple sources, the attacks hit the Syrian Ministry of Defense, the General Staff headquarters, and a target near the presidential palace in the capital 🔴
How does this affect cryptocurrencies? 💵
📊 1. Increase in risk aversion
Investors tend to move away from volatile assets (like cryptocurrencies) towards traditional safe havens (gold, dollar, Treasury bonds).
This can lead to quick sell-offs of Bitcoin and altcoins, causing price drops in the short term.
🛡️ 2. Increase in demand for "alternative havens"
Sometimes Bitcoin is seen as "digital gold" and can benefit if it is considered a safe haven against geopolitical instability.
But this depends on the magnitude of the conflict: limited escalation usually pushes prices down; regional expansion spikes.
⚡ 3. Possible impact on liquidity
If tensions escalate in the Middle East, it may affect oil → global inflation → interest rate decisions.
If traditional markets fall sharply, there may be forced sales of crypto to cover margins in other markets.
🌍 4. Expectation of escalation
The risk of a regional war makes traders seek liquidity quickly, even affecting stablecoins.
🔑 What should you monitor now?
✅ Immediate reaction of BTC Dominance: does it go up or down?
✅ Volatility of USDT and USDC in nearby regions (liquidity demands).
✅ Evolution of gold and oil: strong rises usually indicate a flight to safety.
✅ Reaction of traditional markets when they open (if they are still closed).
