US-Iran tensions escalating could only expand the war's scope; on the daily chart, the doji cross star warns shorts of a pullback risk! 7.23 BTC & ETH outlook

The US-Iran situation continues to escalate, and many countries in the Middle East have been drawn into this conflict. If the US follows through on its threats, Iran will cut off all oil flows in the Gulf region and strike the region's oil, natural gas, power, and economic infrastructure. The statement also said that the US's repeated threats will only cause the war to expand within the region and even beyond. But the coin price just won’t drop—it's clearly due to continued outflows of funds from the spot ETF market, meaning the result of 🐶 whales coordinating to squeeze retail traders.
On the daily chart, BTC closed in the red, while ETH closed in the green; ETH formed a clearly visible doji cross star. Even though BTC's lower wick is relatively long, it still falls into the doji cross-star pattern. BTC on the daily is closing a doji cross star near the upper band of the Bollinger Bands, warning of a short-term rebound and a possible counterattack by shorts! Keep laying plans to short from the high and wait to “eat meat”!

The US-Iran situation keeps escalating, but the coin price has stayed in high-level consolidation, slowly climbing. It’s clear that 🐶 whales are jointly trying to eat up the short positions—or at least trying to scare shorts out. Chasing longs will definitely only grab a bit of small space; only shorting has a chance to take a big “meat” move. So, shorts only!
