Political turmoil in the Middle East ignited a firestorm in the crypto world this weekend, causing a sharp decline in the market. Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, took a hit and fell below the $60,000 mark. But just as the dust began to settle, Monday brought a glimmer of hope for $BTC as almost half of its losses were quickly recovered.
Bitcoin Price Crashes Over Weekend
As tensions rise in the Middle East, the world holds its breath and watches as the value of $BTC takes a sharp 16% turn on Friday and Saturday. This digital currency was designed for moments like this, but even its creators couldn’t predict the impact of the news of a potential war. As traditional markets closed in response to the escalation, $BTC also took a hit over the weekend, leaving investors on edge.
Bull Flag Is Formed
Bitcoin’s recent dip caused a stir as it broke free from the triangle it had been trapped in since March. However, the sharp drop to $60,000 revealed a promising sign – the formation of a massive bull flag. This is a strong indication of a bullish market, with a projected price target of $96,000 if the pattern holds true.
The sudden drop in the price of $BTC to $59,800 caused a wave of anxiety among bitcoin traders and investors. As the wick continued to dip, all eyes were on the critical $59,000 mark. If the cryptocurrency plummeted past this point, it would have triggered a major reassessment of the entire bitcoin bull market.
Asian Money Enters The Fray
