🔴 Impact on Crypto: Is the conflict in Iran a "Black Swan" or an opportunity?

The crypto market has once again demonstrated that it does not live in a bubble. After the events of February 28, we have witnessed one of the most volatile days of 2026. Here’s a summary of what is happening and what to expect:

1. The "Flash Crash" and Liquidity

The news of the joint military operation triggered an immediate drop in Bitcoin, which touched $63,000, while altcoins like SOL and XRP suffered double-digit corrections. Over $500 million in long positions were liquidated in less than 24 hours. 📉

2. Digital Gold or Risk Asset?

Once again, in the face of the outbreak of a conflict, capital first flowed to gold (spot) and oil, while BTC behaved like a risk asset (risk-off). However, after the initial shock, we have seen a recovery towards $68,000. The narrative of "safe haven" remains contested.

3. Key factors to watch this week:

* Strait of Hormuz: Any blockage will drive oil to +$100, putting pressure on inflation and reducing the chances of the Fed lowering rates.

* ETF Flows: Tomorrow, Monday, the reopening of Wall Street will be crucial. If institutional investors maintain their positions in Bitcoin ETFs, the recovery will be strong.

* BTC Dominance: In times of war, Bitcoin's dominance tends to rise as capital flees from the more volatile Altcoins.

> 💡 Square Opinion: Markets hate uncertainty. Historically, these drops due to geopolitical events tend to be absorbed if the conflict does not escalate globally. Are we in an accumulation zone or is it better to wait for the dust to settle?
