Bitcoin’s Geopolitical Tango: $64k Dip as Israel-Iran Drama Unfolds

The CoinMarketCap 20 Index, that chorus of altcoins, wailed in unison, a 4.70% lament, proving this was no solitary tragedy but a grand opera of sell-offs. And what provoked this financial aria? Ah, the Middle East, that eternal cauldron of chaos, where Israel and Iran exchanged not words but strikes, sending ripples through energy markets, equities, and the tender heart of crypto. Geopolitics, that old maestro, conducts the orchestra of risk assets with a baton dipped in uncertainty.

The Fed’s Pickle: Inflation, Stagflation, and Crypto’s Gambit

January PPI rocketed 2.9% year-over-year, handily trouncing the 2.6% forecast. Core PPI? It jumped 0.8% month-over-month, a number so bold it could’ve been a dare.

A ledger of quiet betrayal, showing 28,489 BTC flooding back to exchanges like exiles returning home, dragging their feet but compelled by unseen hands.

Altcoin Season Alert: Chart Signals Major Rally Ahead, Bitcoin Dominance Wanes

Market expert @CyrilXBT recently shared a chart on X that compares the value of all cryptocurrencies *except* the top 10, to the value of Bitcoin. The chart currently shows a ratio of 0.129, which the expert believes is a historically significant level. This is the same price range where major surges in altcoins have begun in the past, suggesting another such surge could be coming.

Bitcoin’s 2026 Slide Deepens: BTC Drops to $65K as $70K Level Becomes ‘Demand Vacuum’

On Feb. 27, just when we thought Bitcoin might finally start showing some backbone, it went from a high of $68,000 to a sad little floor of $65,500. Why? Well, apparently a little thing called “Middle Eastern tensions” (you know, Iran rejecting U.S. demands about enriched uranium) sent markets into a tailspin.
