#USAirstrikes The recent attack by the U.S. on Iran's nuclear facilities has had an immediate and clear impact on the crypto market, especially on volatile assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The response was swift: Bitcoin fell below $100,000, with liquidations exceeding $1 billion in leveraged positions within hours of the announcement.

This movement is attributed to typical 'risk-off' behavior: investors shift from risk assets to safe havens, increasing positions in the dollar (rise of the DXY index) and gold, while reducing exposure to crypto. However, the drop was contained: factors such as continuous inflows into Bitcoin ETFs acted as a cushion, allowing a recovery to near $101,000–102,000 as the initial uncertainty dissipated.
