Breaking news shows that the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group has entered 'all ships dark' and radio silence status. At the military tactical level, this is usually a standard action before launching a large-scale strike—what is known as an 'attack posture'. Given the escalating tensions in the Middle East recently, this is certainly not an ordinary drill.
The current situation is very clear: the powder keg is being ignited. This level of geopolitical risk is the biggest black swan for financial markets.
Many retail investors' first reaction to this kind of news is panic selling, worried that $BTC will follow the plunge of risk assets. Indeed, the tightening of liquidity at the beginning of a war can lead to a drop in asset prices, but please look beyond the phenomenon to see the essence: the end of war is always currency depreciation, debt expansion, and a surge in safe-haven demand. This is precisely the core narrative logic of $BTC as 'digital gold'.
For the crypto market, a short-term "dip" is often for a higher jump. Major funds love to use this kind of geopolitical negativity to conduct violent wash trading, clearing out indecisive chips.
At this moment, avoid blindly leveraging high multiples to speculate on a rebound. If a conflict really breaks out, extreme spike markets can instantly blow up all high-leverage long positions. My advice: hold onto your spot assets and keep a close eye on key support levels. If the market falls into a deep pit due to panic, that would be a rare golden opportunity to enter in this cycle.
This time, do you dare to buy at the sound of cannon fire?
