Geopolitics has stepped back into the spotlight, and the crypto market is feeling the pressure. As tensions between the US and Iran escalate and Bitcoin slips below $USDC 70,000, the market narrative is shifting fast — from aggressive upside chasing to capital protection.
Here’s how experienced traders are navigating this phase 👇
🔸 Bitcoin: “Digital Gold” or Risk Asset?
Despite the safe-haven narrative, Bitcoin is currently behaving more like a risk asset. Historically, during the early stages of military or geopolitical escalation, BTC tends to sell off first due to liquidity-driven liquidations.
Recent events have followed a similar pattern.
Strategy:
Avoid FOMO longs during negative headlines. Let volatility cool down before taking directional trades.
🔸 Stablecoins Are the Safe Zone
A clear signal right now is the rising dominance of $USDT and $USDC. Smart money is rotating into stables to stay protected from sudden 5–10% news-driven drops.
Strategy:
Keep 30–40% of your portfolio in stablecoins. This acts as dry powder to capitalize on deeper pullbacks.
🔸 Caution Around High-Risk Altcoins
Regulatory pressure is increasing on platforms and tokens with exposure to sanction-sensitive regions. This creates additional uncertainty and headline risk, especially for low-cap altcoins.
Strategy:
Stay away from low-liquidity alts linked to regulatory or geopolitical uncertainty until conditions stabilize.
🔸 Key Levels to Watch
For Bitcoin, $USDC 67,500 remains a critical short-term level.
Holding above it could trigger a relief bounce

🔥 My Current Plan:
I’m keeping around 50% in cash and placing staggered limit orders near $XRP 64,200, staying flexible as the situation develops.
📌 Bottom Line:
This is not the phase for emotional trading. It’s a phase for patience, protection, and preparation.
