The US President claimed that the Iran situation is easing, stating that important intelligence indicates a decrease in local violence. This statement quickly impacted the market: oil prices fell sharply, and gold retreated from its all-time high. Iran later confirmed some of the statements. Within just a few hours, the shift in geopolitical sentiment directly drove the prices of safe-haven assets. This event once again proves that macroeconomic shocks are often the invisible hand behind cryptocurrency volatility. When local geopolitical risks ease, capital flows will change — either shifting from gold to risk assets or seeking new investment opportunities in the crypto market. The market's rapid response says everything.
