📉💥 "Why has crypto been on a downturn? Look at this…**

First, the geopolitical scare: the U.S. is watching the Fed and how it manages rates (the range is still 4.25‑4.5%) — but tensions in the Middle East with the Israel-Iran conflict complicate everything: oil rises, confidence falls, and automatically the appetite for “risky” assets like cryptos decreases.

Then, the concrete facts: Bitcoin fell to ~USD 103,000, Ether lost almost 8%, and XRP dropped over 5%, all during a massive sell-off synchronized with the attacks in Iran.

👉 In summary:

• Tensions in Iran ⇒ oil and gold rise, risk aversion increases.

• Crypto = risk asset. It is sold to shelter capital.

• If this escalates, we could see more fluctuations… but if it calms down, rates in the U.S. could loosen (bearish ratios), and then cryptos could rebound.

🪙Affected Coins:

• $BTC : the largest, fell sharply when the world goes into “safe mode” .

• $ETH : sharp drop because, as a key altcoin, it is always more affected in bearish runs .

• $XRP : considered “one of the most stable,” but not immune -- dropped about ~5% -- holds up better than more volatile alts.

⸻

🎯 What can you do?

• If you believe the conflict is temporary, you could see these dips as a buying opportunity. Historically, geopolitical “flash crashes” result in strong rebounds (yesterday BTC +64% on average 50 days post-crisis) .

• If you want to “sleep peacefully,” also hold XRP as a stability anchor while the bump passes.
