In response, Iran retaliated against several neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<p>US President Donald Trump\u2019s comments on Monday, however, signaled the war could be wrapping up soon, saying: \u201cI think the war is very complete, pretty much,\u201d though he later said in a Truth Social post that if Iran did anything to slow the supply of oil, the US would ramp up its military pressure on the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin held firm in the face of geopolitical shocks<\/h2>\n<p>Ryan McMillin, chief investment officer of Australian crypto investment manager Merkle Tree Capital, told Cointelegraph that several other factors might also be driving a rebound in positive sentiment among traders.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin&#8217;s strong resilience to geopolitical shocks and institutional momentum from companies such as Strategy, which bought nearly 18,000 Bitcoin last week and made a second purchase this week, could also be contributing, according to McMillin, along with Bitcoin holding above its February lows.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBitcoin has shown real strength through tough conditions, with inflation cooling, oil risk aside, adding tailwinds so too a new Fed chair only months away and the Clarity Act inching closer to implementation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShorts are vulnerable; liquidity on the short side could get squeezed toward $80,000 before a true higher\/lower decision point.
