The impact of Trump's decision to postpone energy strikes on the crypto market
With the beginning of the week and the opening of the American markets, the decision by Donald Trump to postpone military strikes on Iranian energy facilities changed the general mood of the markets suddenly, and indirectly reflected on the cryptocurrency market.
🧭 First: What happened in traditional markets?
The decision was considered a sign of "temporary easing" of geopolitical tensions, which led to:
Strong rise in U.S. stock futures by more than 2% �

A decline in the dollar and a return of risk appetite among investors �

Markets rebounded after a sharp fear wave due to war prospects �

Simply put: the market moved from panic → to risk-on.
🪙 Secondly: How does this reflect on crypto?
The crypto market often moves according to 3 main factors in such events:
1) Risk Appetite
When tensions ease:
Investors return to high-risk assets
Like stocks and cryptocurrencies
➡️ Therefore, we often see:
Rise in Bitcoin
And improvement in alternative coins (Altcoins)
2) Global liquidity
Tensions have been pushing investors to hold cash
But after the decision:
Liquidity returns to the markets
Part of it is flowing into crypto (especially with the start of the American week)
3) The relationship between crypto and geopolitical events
At the beginning of the crisis:
Crypto may rise as an "alternative haven"
But with the easing:
It turns into a risk asset, not a safe haven
➡️ Thus, it moves with stocks, not against them
⚠️ Important point: the market is still fragile
Despite the positivity:
The postponement lasts only 5 days �

Any new escalation may quickly reverse the trend
In other words:
The market is now in a state of "cautious optimism" and not stable rise
🧠 Summary
Decision to postpone strikes:
Temporarily restored confidence to the markets
Support for risky assets, with crypto at the forefront
But it did not end the uncertainty
📌 The closest prediction:
A positive start to the week for crypto
With the possibility of sharp fluctuations depending on developments in the Iranian file
