Israel-Iran Conflict Could Trigger Economic Maelstrom Affecting Millions

Bitcoin is trading just above the critical $104K level after enduring multiple 
days of selling pressure triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East. 
The recent attacks between Israel and Iran have injected fresh volatility 
across financial markets, but BTC has shown notable resilience. Currently down 
about 5% from its all-time high of $112K, Bitcoin continues to trade within a 
broader consolidation range as macroeconomic uncertainty persists. Related

According to top analyst Ali Martinez, the $104,124 level is a crucial 
threshold to watch. He highlights that this level aligns with a strong cluster 
of Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) based on the Realized Price 
Distribution metric. This suggests a heavy concentration of buyers who 
acquired BTC at or near this range, potentially reinforcing it as a solid 
support base. Holding above this level could mark a turning point, paving the 
way for another push toward price discovery. However, a breakdown below this 
zone could trigger a deeper correction toward lower demand levels. For now, 
all eyes remain on Bitcoin’s reaction to this key level as global risks 
continue to evolve. Bitcoin Holds The Line Above $100K Amid Geopolitical Risks 
Bitcoin is showing notable resilience amid global turmoil, holding above the 
$100K mark despite rising uncertainty linked to escalating Middle East 
tensions. As the market heads into Monday, investors are bracing for 
potentially volatile sessions, depending on further developments between 
Israel and Iran. A sharp rise in oil prices could add additional macro 
pressure, making the start of the week a decisive moment for risk assets. BTC 
continues to trade within a consolidation range after falling 5% from its all- 
time high of $112K. Analysts widely agree that Bitcoin is in a transitional 
phase—either preparing for an explosive breakout into price discovery or 
setting the stage for a deeper retracement. Many believe that a confirmed 
breakout above $112K could trigger the next major leg higher, marking the 
beginning of a new expansion cycle for the entire crypto market. However, 
caution remains critical at current levels. Martinez pointed to key on-chain 
data from the UTXO Realized Price Distribution, identifying $104,124 as a 
pivotal support zone. This price level is where a large volume of BTC last 
moved, suggesting strong buyer interest. If BTC holds this level, it could 
form a solid base for continuation. But if it breaks down, the next area of 
interest lies around $97,405—potentially sparking broader fear across the 
market. In the coming days, Bitcoin’s response to geopolitical news and 
macroeconomic signals, particularly oil price movements and bond yield 
reactions, will be crucial. For now, the bulls remain in control, but the path 
forward demands close attention and calculated positioning. Related Reading:

Price Analysis: Bulls Defend Key Support Bitcoin is currently trading at 
$105,502, showing signs of strength after defending the crucial $103,600 
support level. This price zone has acted as a consistent floor over the past 
week and continues to be a key pivot for short-term market structure. After a 
steep drop from the $112K high, BTC bounced off this support with a strong 
wick on high volume, signaling buyer interest and a potential short-term 
bottom. The chart shows that Bitcoin is consolidating between $103,600 and 
$109,300, with the 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs converging just above the 
current price, indicating a decision point is near. A clear break above 
$106,800 could trigger momentum to test $109,300 again, while a failure to 
hold above $104,500 would expose BTC to downside risk. Related Reading: Solana

Volume remains relatively muted compared to the spike during the June 13 drop, 
suggesting that most of the panic selling has cooled for now. However, price

confirm continuation. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
