Bitcoin profits during geopolitical crises
In the past, Bitcoin has experienced sell-offs at the beginning of major geopolitical conflicts, only to recover and make huge gains.
In the year Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 resulted in an initial dump but a 40% BTC price rally as shown below.
In the year A similar sequence took place after Israel's attack on Iran in June 2025. Bitcoin rallied about 25% over the next two months, then reversed course.
After the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani in January 2020 in the US-Iran conflict, Bitcoin rose more than 50% overall, although the initial reaction included a brief price drop.
If history is any indication, the price of Bitcoin could rise further, with macro models hinting at a rise to $100,000 in the coming months.
The bearish flag keeps BTC's downside risks under wraps
Conversely, a bear flag formation on the Bitcoin chart increases the likelihood of a bull trap.
Bear flags are formed when the price rises in a higher parallel channel after a strong decline. They are usually resolved when the price breaks below the lower limit and compares to the height of the previous downtrend.
Since Saturday, Bitcoin has shown signs of inversion of weakness near the upper border of the flag, and is also aligned with the 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA, red line) around $72,750.
Applying the bearish flag principle to Bitcoin's chart puts the measured bottom target at around $51,000.
