Recent events in Qatar have had a noticeable impact on Bitcoin's price, highlighting the cryptocurrency market's sensitivity to geopolitical changes.
Bitcoin's Price Drop
According to a report by BRICS News, following the news of a potential attack, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a sharp downturn.

Stabilization and Recovery
However, in the minutes immediately following the missile launch report, Bitcoin showed signs of stabilization and a nascent recovery. The chart indicates that by 16:45 UTC, shortly after the tweet, Bitcoin started to rebound from its lows, trading back towards the $100,800 mark.
Overall Sensitivity to News
This incident highlights Bitcoin's increasing sensitivity to global geopolitical developments, even as the market demonstrates varied responses to breaking news.
Thus, the incident involving the attacks in Qatar not only demonstrated the negative impact on Bitcoin's price but also the market's ability to quickly respond to such geopolitical events.
