Bitcoin je ponovo premašio 70.000 dolara, dok su tenzije u vezi sa ratom u Iranu pale, a volatilnost se smanjila

[라온]

Bitcoin has pushed back above roughly $70,000 after a weekend dump toward the mid‑60,000s that followed US‑Israel strikes on Iran and a spike in energy‑market stress.

What The Bitcoin Data Says

This recovery comes after President Donald Trump helped reset risk sentiment when he signaled the Iran conflict could be resolved “very soon”, rising equities and softer oil prices alongside Bitcoin’s price. Brent crude dropped more than 7%, sliding to around $91 a barrel and pulling back sharply from Monday’s 119.50‑dollar peak.

“Trump’s latest posts are being seen as potentially flagging an end to the Iranian conflict faster than the market was anticipating”, said Richard Galvin, co-founder of hedge fund DACM as reported by Bloomberg. He added:

Risks are that the market is misreading Trump’s statements, or that either Israel, the USA or Iran takes action to further escalate hostilities and takes the option of de-escalation off the table.

On‑chain and derivatives data suggest the worst of the war‑driven stress is abating rather than starting a new bear phase. Glassnode describes the recovery as showing “tentative signs of improvement”, with futures open interest and perp buying picking up again as prices stabilize in the high-$60,000 to low‑$70,000 band.

What The Analysts Say

Analysts tracking flows argue the Iran episode looks more like a sharp positioning and liquidity shock than a structural macro regime change. CryptoQuant data, cited by NewsBTC, showed a spike in coins moving to exchanges and a jump in volatility around the February 28 strikes, followed by a rapid normalization as BTC snapped back toward its prior trajectory in early March.

ETF flows remain a key pillar. US spot products saw strong net inflows in the days Bitcoin rebounded toward and above $70,000, signaling that institutions kept buying into weakness rather than dumping exposure. At the same time, funding and short liquidations indicate that late bears were squeezed as prices reclaimed key psychological levels, reinforcing the idea that traders used the war headlines to fade fear rather than to exit the asset class altogether.

The “Digital Gold” And Risk Asset Behavior

This is not the first time war headlines have jolted Bitcoin, but recent behavior looks different from the panic surrounding events like the start of the Russia‑Ukraine war. On earlier Iran‑linked shocks, BTC saw larger percentage drawdowns and sustained realized‑volatility spikes; this time, the coin briefly dumped toward the low‑60,000s before clawing back above 70,000 dollars within days.

Some macro and on‑chain analysts say that pattern supports a slowly maturing “digital gold” narrative, noting that Bitcoin held up better than some equities and even certain traditional hedges during the latest energy shock. Others stress that crypto is still trading as a high‑beta risk asset overall, pointing to synchronous moves with stocks when war jitters first hit and to heavy rotation into classic safe havens like gold at peak fear.

Whatever the case may be for overall crypto sentiment, one thing remains true: the market still moves at the speed of human fear around geopolitical unrest, not the other way around.
