Rising U.S.–Iran tensions have driven gold above the $5,000 milestone, while Bitcoin has pulled back and market sentiment turns cautious. Would you allocate to gold now, or look for a BTC dip?
#MiddleEastTensionsEscalate
Bitcoin plunged sharply in the past few days as tensions escalated in the Middle East. At one point, Bitcoin dropped under $78,000 on Saturday, marking a significant decline from its recent price highs.
The main reasons behind this drop were rising geopolitical risks—particularly increased conflict and uncertainty involving Iran and the U.S.—plus growing concerns over U.S. political stability and new tariff threats. Thin weekend liquidity made it even easier for panic selling to push the price down. Just two days earlier, Bitcoin was trading around $84,400; since t

$ETH Weekly Update
Ethereum is trading around $2,600 after a clean rejection from the 1W 50 EMA. As mentioned earlier, this level was expected to act as strong resistance, and price reacted exactly as anticipated. I added more short exposure on the rejection, as this was not a reclaim attempt but a confirmed failure.
On the weekly timeframe, there is no structure supporting a sustained recovery. The market continues to print lower highs and lower closes, keeping the higher timeframe trend firmly bearish. More importantly, price is now pressuring the 1W 99 EMA (red line).

Thin weekend liquidity made it even easier for panic selling to push the price down. Just two days earlier, Bitcoin was trading around $84,400; since then, it has fallen more than 7%, with billions in liquidations triggered (over $1,700,000,000 on Friday alone).
So, if you’re tracking the impact: Bitcoin dropped from about $84,400 to below $78,000—over a $6,000 slide—mostly because traders got nervous about war risks and global instability.

When uncertainty increases, capital shifts from growth to protection.

Energy volatility
Oil and gas prices react first due to supply-chain sensitivity.
Risk-off behavior

Gold’s surge — hitting fresh all‑time highs beyond $5,100 — is being driven by geopolitical tension, USD depreciation, and flight‑to‑quality demand. Investors are pricing in heightened risk from U.S.–Iran friction, dwindling faith in fiat stability, and expectations of further central bank easing. Record inflows into bullion ETFs and
