The United States is accelerating the evacuation of its citizens from the Middle East and significantly increasing the deployment of military intelligence personnel to support a new round of military operations that may extend for months. Major European countries such as the UK, France, and Germany are cautious about directly participating in offensive strikes, and market forecasts show that the probability of their direct involvement has dropped to a low level. The willingness of regional countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar to join the conflict has also weakened. These dynamics collectively point to a trend: although the conflict continues, the likelihood of it spilling over into a larger multinational joint operation is decreasing.
This subtle change in the geopolitical landscape is influencing the cryptocurrency market through risk appetite and liquidity channels. Bitcoin demonstrated strong price resilience at the onset of the crisis, not experiencing a panic sell-off, and its hedging value as an alternative asset is once again in the spotlight. The current core narrative in the market has shifted partly from fear of an unbounded escalation of war to expectations of supply chain recovery. For example, Goldman Sachs' bullish view against the trend is based on the expectation that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is likely to return to normal in a few weeks. If energy channels can be quickly restored as expected, it will alleviate global stagflation concerns, thereby supporting risk assets, including #BTC . In the short term, the market may oscillate within a range, awaiting clearer fundamental signals.
