#USIsraelStrikesIranBTCPlunges When missiles lit up the sky over Iran, global markets didn’t wait for confirmation — they reacted instantly.


Within hours of reports tied to Israel strikes, crypto liquidity evaporated.
Over $446M liquidated in 24 hours.
135,000 traders wiped out.
Bitcoin slid below key support, ETH and SOL followed with sharp double-digit intraday losses. This wasn’t panic — it was capital obeying its oldest rule: risk off first, ask questions later.
Geopolitical shock + high leverage + tight liquidity = forced selling.
Algorithms exit before headlines settle.
This move exposed the hard truth: in real conflict scenarios, BTC still trades as a risk asset, not a safe haven. Dollars, Treasuries, and gold get the first bid — crypto pays the price.
Markets don’t care about narratives.
They care about survival.
Those who manage risk live to trade the next cycle.
