How Bitcoin fits into the macro picture
The US-Iran conflict escalation fundamentally alters the macro landscape, with oil prices spiking and safe-haven flows moving toward traditional assets like bonds and gold rather than Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve's rate cut timeline is now pushed to Q3 2026 at earliest as war-driven inflation pressures rebuild. Dollar strength from flight-to-safety flows creates additional headwinds for risk assets, while elevated oil prices threaten to reignite broader inflationary pressures that could force more hawkish Fed policy.
Bitcoin is trading as a risk asset, falling alongside equities as war tensions spike. The traditional inflation hedge narrative is being overshadowed by immediate liquidity concerns and risk-off positioning.

Bitcoin fell below $71,000 following President Trump's order for a US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route. The escalation came after failed US-Iran peace negotiations, with Vice President Vance confirming talks had ended after a daylong session in Pakistan. The blockade order sparked immediate risk-off sentiment across global markets.
