Wow, I just woke up and found out about the roller coaster in the crypto market. The weekend started with Bitcoin dropping from its highs straight into a tailspin — from 65.5K down to 63K in just an hour. Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran, and the market reacted panically. Ethereum also slid to around 1.85K. It wasn’t just a crash — it was a liquidation of positions on an industrial scale.

The numbers are brutal: $75 billion disappeared from the total crypto market cap. Over 154,000 traders were liquidated within 24 hours, with total liquidations reaching $522 million, of which $449 million were on long positions. The largest single liquidation was $11.17 million on BTC. But the key point is that this wasn’t an organic sell-off; it was forced liquidation. The futures volume for BTC hit $76.27 billion, while spot trading was only $7.62 billion. Do you see the difference?

An interesting moment in history. Every time Iran and Israel started a conflict, crypto prices fell. But then they bounced back. In June 2025, there was an attack on nuclear sites — BTC dropped to 103K, then soared above 125K. In April 2024, Iran launched missiles — BTC fell to 61K, then recovered and hit new highs. Military conflicts have historically been springboards for growth.

But here’s the catch. The market was already broken going into this shock. Bitcoin had fallen nearly 50% from its October peak of 126K. The Индекс страха is at 14 — extreme fear. Spot BTC ETFs in the US have shifted from buyers to sellers. Large players in the options market are betting on further declines — puts at 60K and 55K are holding huge positions.

But there’s one signal that intrigues me. Despite the panic, about 522 BTC are leaving exchanges. This is a sign of accumulation — someone is buying while retail investors panic and sell. The key level now is 63.1K — this is support within the descending channel. If we break below, 60K becomes the target. Resistance is at 73-74K.

The market structure suggests caution, but patterns hint at a rebound. Could this be the moment to buy on such a dip? History says yes. Current signals suggest — maybe. Much depends on what happens next on the political stage.
