【It’s really just what you fear will happen…】
This morning, I was still watching the price action—BTC and ETH, with their “followers,” were charging up pretty enthusiastically, and the group chat was full of cheers about “the bull market returning.”
Then, all of a sudden, the Iranian Fars News Agency broke the news: two missiles struck a U.S. warship, near the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the U.S. Navy ship to turn back.
Honestly, when I saw this news, I was completely stunned.
Earlier today, I was chatting with a friend. Right now, what the market fears most is that regional conflict suddenly escalates—yet before the words were even out of my mouth, the missiles really did fly over. The U.S. hasn’t responded yet, but no matter how things develop next, panic has already started spreading.
Once again in the crypto world: “people stay at home, and trouble comes from the sky.” It’s clearly got nothing to do with us, but every time news like this drops, the first thing that gets smashed is risk assets.
Frustrating, sure, but at times like this, don’t rush to buy the dip—let the bullets fly for a bit. Hopefully it’s only a localized clash and won’t escalate further.
