šŗšø Geopolitics wobble marketsābut Israel showing resolve
IsraelāIran escalation drags crypto lowerāeven as Israeli assets rally.

Markets dipped after U.S. and Israeli strikes hit Iranian nuclear and command sites. Bitcoin dropped ~1ā2% below $100K; Ethereum and XRP followed suit. Still, Israeli stocks and the shekel climbed, signaling strong domestic confidence in Israelās military and political position. As investors unwind risk-on exposure, crypto may test $100K supportābut Israelās strategic clarity lends longer-term stability.

š Oil and equities resilient despite tension
Markets surprisingly calm amid MiddleāEast flareāups.

Oil briefly spiked toward $78 but settled near $74, buffered by OPEC+ idle capacity. U.S. and European equities held steady, and the dollar strengthened modestlyāeven as crypto wobbled. Safe-haven moves into cash/assets like Treasuries muted, keeping risk assets afloat. Now, tomorrowās data releases and Fed speak will determine if this regime holds.

Bitcoin finds footing at $100K psychological level.
