#IranUSConflictEscalates
⚠️ The US-Iran Ceasefire Is Falling Apart Right Now. This is the Important Thing Every Crypto Trader Needs to Know
I want to give you the complete and honest picture of what is happening between the US and Iran. The situation has gotten much worse in the 72 hours and it is going to affect the market in a big way.
The US and Iran signed a ceasefire agreement on June 17. This agreement was between Trump and Iranian President Pezeshkian. It said that both countries would stop fighting the US would stop blocking ports and they would try to open up the Strait of Hormuz again. They also had 60 days to talk about Irans program. When this happened people felt a little better. The market stabilized. The price of oil even started to go down because people thought things were getting better.
Then things started to go wrong again.
On June 25 an Iranian ship attacked a cargo ship from Singapore in the Strait of Hormuz. The US responded by attacking military targets on June 26. Iran said that the US was breaking the agreement. Then Iran attacked an oil tanker from Panama. They also sent drones to attack Bahrain. Trump said on media that he would "finish the job".
This is not a small problem. The ceasefire agreement that was signed on June 17 is already falling apart. The talks that are happening in Doha this week are very important. They might be the chance for the US and Iran to resolve their differences before things get even worse.
The Strait of Hormuz is an important place for oil. 20% Of the worlds oil and 20% of the worlds LNG go through it.. Since the conflict started in February the amount of oil and LNG going through the strait has decreased by a lot. The state oil company of the UAE says that it will take until 2027 for things to go back to normal even if the US and Iran make a deal quickly. Every hour that this situation is not resolved it affects the energy supply and makes inflation worse.
For people who invest in crypto and other risky assets it is clear what is happening. When the Strait of Hormuz is closed the price of oil goes up. When the price of oil goes up it affects inflation. When inflation goes up the Fed raises interest rates. When interest rates go up people do not want to take many risks. When people do not want to take risks they sell their assets, including Bitcoin. This situation with the US and Iran is the reason why crypto has been doing poorly since February.
The talks in Doha this week are very important. If the US and Iran can find a way to resolve their differences it will change everything for the rest of 2026.. If they cannot the price of oil will go up again and crypto will continue to do poorly.
We need to pay attention to what happens in Doha. Nothing else is as important this week.
The ceasefire agreement that was signed on June 17 is already falling apart. The talks, in Doha this week might be the last chance for the US and Iran to resolve their differences. Do you think the US and Iran will find a way to resolve their differences or will things get even worse and affect the energy market and crypto for the rest of 2026?
