US President Donald Trump's claim to have taken control of the Strait of Hormuz has heightened geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, pushing oil prices toward $85. The escalation has also put pressure on crypto markets, with Bitcoin struggling to find direction.

The ongoing conflict has had a significant impact on global economics, particularly in the oil sector. Oil prices surged following Trump's claim, which could have far-reaching consequences for the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin's price has been volatile since the war began, responding to fluctuating narratives and developments in the region. The cryptocurrency's value is closely tied to the dynamics of the situation, with potential peace or escalation triggering opposite reactions.
