Global financial markets shifted quickly after Donald Trump said the U.S. had effectively “won” the conflict with Iran, signaling a possible end to the 10-day military operation known as Operation Epic Fury.
Markets react to easing tensions
After the announcement, the crypto market bounced back strongly. Bitcoin jumped more than 5%, climbing back above the $70,000 level as investors moved back into riskier assets.
Earlier in the week, fears of a wider war had pushed investors toward safer options like gold and the U.S. dollar. But Trump’s message that the operation was a short-term mission that achieved its goals quickly helped calm markets.
Trump said that about 80% of Iran’s missile launchers and much of its naval power had been neutralized, while U.S. forces would stay in the region to maintain stability.
The “peace trade” in crypto
As tensions cooled, investors started shifting money back into crypto. Ethereum and several major altcoins also rose, pushing the total crypto market value to about $2.45 trillion.
Analysts say this rebound reflects what traders call a “peace trade”—when markets rally after geopolitical tensions start to ease.
Key price levels to watch
Even with the rebound, Bitcoin is still in a consolidation phase after its February peak.
- Major resistance: Around $72,500. A strong daily close above this level could trigger a broader rally.
- Support zone: $67,500–$68,000. As long as Bitcoin stays above this range, the bullish structure remains intact.
Technical indicators also show some positive momentum. The Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator recently turned green, suggesting buyers are gaining control.
What happens next
Trump’s victory message helped spark the rally, but analysts say the next move depends on whether tensions truly cool down.
If the conflict fades and oil markets stabilize—especially around the Strait of Hormuz—the relief in global markets could continue.
Some traders believe that if this calmer environment holds, Bitcoin could start another major rally, possibly pushing toward six-figure prices in the longer term.
