"Crypto's 24/7 structure is increasingly an edge for the asset class. When the Iran conflict escalated over the weekend, crypto-native markets were the only venue open for global risk trading, this is a structural advantage that traditional markets cannot replicate."
"Looking ahead from a technical perspective, Bitcoin is targeting its recent local high, the $72,000-$73,000 resistance area. A sustained close above that level on volume shift"
Bitcoin has significantly outperformed traditional assets during the week and a half following the U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iran. Trading around $71,000, Bitcoin gained approximately 7%, while gold remained virtually unchanged at $5,240 and the S&P 500 declined 1%. This performance marks a recovery for Bitcoin, which had previously fallen to $63,000, representing a 50% decline from its October all-time high. The cryptocurrency's 24/7 trading structure provided a competitive advantage during the weekend escalation when traditional markets were closed, allowing continuous global risk trading. Additional factors supporting Bitcoin's gains include President Trump's comments suggesting the conflict may be ending. Other cryptocurrencies also benefited, with Ethereum and Solana each rising approximately 7% during the same period.
