Major cryptocurrencies rise amid Iran-Israel conflict
Cryptocurrency market strategists report that Bitcoin BTC $109,360.00 Mezo Wrapped BTC 0.85% Market capitalization $40.08 million VOL. 24 hours $1.57 billion , Ethereum ETH $4,374.50 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) -1.52% Market capitalization $0.11 billion VOL. 24 hours $2.04 billion , and Dogecoin DOGE $0.21 Binance-Peg Dogecoin -1.72% Market capitalization $0.55 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.26 billion have risen amid news that the oil infrastructure remained intact during Israel’s attack on Iran. Thus, the flagship of the crypto market rose above $ 68,000, and Dogecoin grew by 4.2% to $ 0.1416. The decline in oil prices — in particular, a 4.6% drop in the price of WTI crude oil to $ 68.48 per barrel — further affected the crypto market, prompting investors to actively trade in digital assets.
According to analysts, the total liquidation of positions in cryptocurrencies over the day reached $ 70 million, of which $ 45 million were short positions. The fear and greed index is at a pessimistic 54 points.
As a reminder, crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe predicts a breakthrough for bitcoin over the next two weeks, expecting the price to reach $ 90,000-$ 100,000 by the end of the year. The expert noted that the current cycle for bitcoin is more complicated and may last longer than the usual four-year cycles due to the impact of liquidity and interest rates.
