Today, US President Donald Trump confirmed a military operation in which American forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump's Confirmation of the Operation
In his official X account, Trump stated that strikes were made on the nuclear facilities in Fardo, Natanz, and Esfahan. Following the attacks, he warned Iran of potential further strikes if peace is not sought, indicating that numerous crucial Iranian facilities could be targeted if provocations persist.
Crypto Market Response
The crypto market reacted immediately to the news, with Bitcoin dropping to nearly $101,000 before rebounding slightly. Ethereum also fell, losing 7% in the past 24 hours. Analysts attribute this decline to the uncertainties created by rising geopolitical threats.
Increased Market Volatility
Crypto trader Credible Crypto noted on X that Bitcoin has now entered a key support zone. He indicated that losing the $102,000 level could push prices down to the $94,000–$98,000 range. Investors are closely monitoring these levels as market pressures rise.
Trump's confirmation of the bombings has significantly impacted financial markets. The drop of Bitcoin to $101,000 highlights the fragility of investor sentiment during geopolitical crises.
