On June 23, QCP released its daily market observation stating, "Bitcoin briefly fell below the $100,000 mark last Monday, hitting a low of $98,200, which is the lowest point since breaking through the $100,000 psychological barrier on May 8. This round of dumping has affected major alts, triggered by Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, a move that could severely disrupt global oil transportation.
However, Bitcoin climbed back above $100,000 this morning, indicating that the weekend's pullback was more driven by macro factors. Investors are viewing crypto assets as a safe haven during the wait for stock index futures to open. The low market liquidity has led to amplified volatility, with the overall market liquidation amount exceeding $1 billion.
Although Iran vows to take retaliatory measures, the market currently does not seem to believe that the situation will escalate significantly. Geopolitical "behind-the-scenes mediation" appears to be playing a calming role.
