Highlights

  • Geopolitical risks in the Strait of Hormuz have increased demand for safe-haven assets and boosted the US dollar.
  • Risk-sensitive cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have come under pressure as global risk appetite has declined.
  • Bitcoin trades below major moving averages, with multiple technical indicators showing a strong bearish bias and a likely price range of $61,583 to $64,362 in the near term.

Safe-haven flows overpower sentiment as Hormuz tensions rise

Macro uncertainty stemming from heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to a subdued risk appetite across global markets, as noted by Fxstreet. This regional unrest has increased demand for safe-haven assets, resulting in a stronger US dollar and in turn pressuring sentiment toward risk-sensitive cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin. The cautious tone in broader markets has thus weighed on Bitcoin's recent trading activity, with investors reassessing risk exposure in the current environment.
