Trump’s Comments Rattle Markets, While Bitcoin Stays Strong Near $107K
In early Tuesday hours (GMT), US President Donald Trump unexpectedly cut short his participation at the G7 summit in Canada. Shortly after, he tweeted urging the evacuation of Tehran. His remarks, widely perceived as a hint towards a potential nuclear strike on Iran, triggered notable market reactions, including a sharp dip in Bitcoin’s price from close to $109,000.
The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has now spanned over four days, with significant mutual destruction and no clear end in sight. Trump’s message can be interpreted in two main ways: either Israel is genuinely preparing a nuclear offensive against Iran, or Trump is employing political pressure tactics to compel Iran into negotiations under threat of escalation.
Another layer to consider is the possibility of the US stepping in to support Israel more directly, as Iranian attacks have severely challenged Israel’s defenses, including the effectiveness of the Iron Dome against low-cost Iranian drones.
Given these circumstances, markets remain highly volatile. Despite the sharp price drop, Bitcoin has managed to hold steady around the $107,000 mark.

What Lies Ahead for Bitcoin?
Forecasting Bitcoin’s price movements amid such geopolitical turmoil is complex. A nuclear strike on Iran would represent an unprecedented “black swan” event, likely causing global financial markets to plunge. The impact on Bitcoin in such a catastrophic scenario is unpredictable, as the world would enter uncharted territory defined by nuclear conflict.
On the other hand, if Trump’s strategy leads to de-escalation and negotiations, market stability could return, potentially supporting Bitcoin’s price resilience or recovery.
At present, neither Iran nor Israel appears willing to halt their attacks first, as yielding could be seen as defeat. This deadlock may mean continued conflict without immediate resolution, keeping Bitcoin’s price swings relatively contained for now.
