Bitcoin Holds Steady Amid Market Turmoil and Hawkish Fed Signals
Bitcoin's recent price action has shown remarkable resilience in the face of market turmoil, including a weekend of escalating violence in the Middle East and a hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve.
The cryptocurrency held near $78,623 on Monday, slipping just 0.7% over 24 hours even as fresh U.S. military strikes on Iran sent oil prices surging and knocked equities lower.
This kind of composure against a backdrop that would normally spook risk assets is exactly why traders and analysts are paying closer attention than usual.
