$BTC A major Israel-Iran conflict would likely cause:

1. Short-Term Crash: Immediate panic selling, driving Bitcoin and altcoins down sharply as investors flee to cash, gold, or stablecoins (risk-off reaction).

2. Potential Bitcoin Recovery (If Escalation Continues): If the war disrupts oil supplies and spikes inflation, Bitcoin might later attract buyers as an inflation hedge, potentially outperforming stocks and altcoins.

3. Altcoin Underperformance: Altcoins would likely suffer more than Bitcoin throughout the volatility.

4. Extreme Volatility: Wild price swings driven by war news are guaranteed.

In short: Expect a sharp initial crash across crypto, with Bitcoin possibly recovering later if oil prices surge and inflation fears spike. Altcoins remain vulnerable. High volatility is certain.
