Expected market reaction

Bearish Confidence 70% How confidence is read Horizon: Short term Impact: Moderate

The escalation of the Iran conflict and rising oil prices may lead to a risk-off environment, potentially pressuring bitcoin's price below $62,600 support. This could also lead to a decrease in risk assets and an increase in safe-haven assets like gold.
