🔴Typically, when hearing 'escalation of conflict', the market reacts with fear: risk assets are sold, money runs to safe havens. Bitcoin has fallen before. But what surprises many is: after falling, it bounces back very sharply.
So what is happening?
1️⃣ Weekend liquidity is thin → prices can easily spike
The conflict broke out when the traditional market closed. Crypto trades 24/7 but the weekend liquidity is thin, so prices can easily be pulled down – and also easily bounce back when selling pressure weakens.
Many strong increases are not necessarily due to large amounts of money coming in, but because fluctuations are amplified due to low liquidity.
2️⃣ Closing shorts creates forced buying pressure
Bad news comes out, many people open short positions. When the price does not continue to drop but turns to rise, they are forced to buy back to cut losses.
This mandatory buying force causes prices to "plunge" quickly. More than once, the market has risen not because of renewed confidence, but because short sellers were forced to leave the table.
⚠️ You need to be extremely cautious.
During this period, the market is very likely to "fluctuate both ways." Prices can spike up to burn shorts, then turn around and drop down to burn longs. The current increase is likely a combination of thin liquidity + closing shorts + reducing short-term fear, rather than a clearly defined new trend.
The market right now is not for the impatient. Holding capital is the real victory 👍
