#密码资产动态追踪 Middle East tensions escalate, leading to significant volatility across multiple assets

The Trump administration's military actions against Iran have intensified—deploying aircraft carriers and launching cyber warfare simultaneously. Iran has confirmed casualties and stated it will respond. These series of events have directly increased the global risk premium. Brent crude oil retreated from highs to $63, with energy supply expectations remaining under pressure.

Financial markets reacted strongly. Spot gold broke through the $4600 level, silver surged over 6%, and passive funds and CTA strategy funds rushed to bet on safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Powell is embroiled in a criminal investigation controversy, with debates over institutional independence rapidly intensifying, further shaking market confidence in the dollar and US Treasuries. US stock futures declined, the dollar came under pressure, and a wave of bond market sell-offs ensued.

Liquidity is being reallocated. Rebalancing funds of around $6 billion are flowing into commodities like gold and crude oil, while the crypto market is experiencing synchronized volatility. At this moment, the performance of assets such as $ETH, $DOGE, and $ZEC warrants close attention. Geopolitical risks combined with macroeconomic shifts highlight the need to enhance risk awareness during this critical period.

ETH-1,17%

DOGE-2,17%

ZEC-3,98%

Powell under investigation? The independence of the Federal Reserve is really in question this time, and market confidence has collapsed.

Gold has already surged to 4600, and this time it's really no joke. It seems that even a rate cut can't change the situation anymore.

Oh no, here we go again. Every time geopolitical tensions tighten, we have to watch safe-haven assets dance. I'm numb to gold breaking 4600. The investigation into Powell is the real deal. When confidence in the dollar collapses, crypto gets hit hard. The logic is so ironic. 6 billion in funds are all rushing to buy gold, while our ETH is just along for the ride. We can only wait for the next reversal opportunity. Honestly, every political turmoil is the best signal for building positions. History tends to repeat itself. With such intense tension in the Middle East, I feel like I should think in a contrarian way.

Powell being investigated is more exciting than the Middle East situation... If the Federal Reserve's independence really comes into question, this wave of crypto might just be the beginning. --- Gold breaks 4600, crude oil is still falling... Is this called a safe haven? To me, it looks more like capital fleeing. --- 6 billion flows into the commodity market, why does it feel like crypto is being hammered instead? This logic is a bit confusing. --- Should I buy ETH, DOGE, ZEC now? I think I need to wait a couple more days; there are too many variables. --- As the Middle East heats up, the whole world trembles; cryptocurrencies have long been used to this... We're just waiting for liquidity to be reallocated. --- The dollar is under pressure, the bond market is crashing, gold is soaring... Under this rhythm, Bitcoin still hasn't taken off, which is really outrageous. --- When risk premiums increase, it means money is looking for an exit; why are some still bottom-fishing in the crypto space? So brave.

ngl, this is literally the textbook "everything correlates when it shouldn't" moment... learned this the hard way back in 2020. watching ETH tank because iran tensions is peak market inefficiency, technically speaking. PSA: if you're holding alts rn, maybe don't check your portfolio every 5 mins? just saying, wallet pain is real when geopolitics hits different.
