During the week and a half since the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, Bitcoin is doing better than gold and stocks. Since the start of the war, the original cryptocurrency is up about 7%, and on Wednesday was trading at around $71,000, according to Binance. Gold has stayed at virtually the same price, trading at about $5,240, which is roughly where it was the morning of February 28, when the first strikes hit Iran. The S&P 500 is down about 1% during that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s performance is a welcome sight for those in the digital assets sector, as the original cryptocurrency previously had a woeful few months. It reached levels as low as $63,000, down 50% from its all-time high in October. Crypto stocks have benefited from the fact that they can be traded at any time and are not beholden to banking hours like traditional stocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCrypto\u2019s 24\/7 structure is increasingly an edge for the asset class,\u201d said Gabe Selby, head of research at CF Benchmarks. \u201cWhen the Iran conflict escalated over the weekend, crypto-native markets were the only venue open for global risk trading, this is a structural advantage that traditional markets cannot replicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The original cryptocurrency also seems to be riding the wave of President Trump\u2019s recent comments that the war may be ending. On Monday, Trump told CBS news, \u201cI think the war is very complete, pretty much,\u201d saying that Iran had \u201cnothing left in a military sense.\u201d Bitcoin is up about 4% since those comments were made.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other cryptocurrencies have also felt a bump since the start of the war with Iran. Ethereum is up about 7% since February 28th to its current price of about $2,070, and Solana is also up about 7% during that time to its current price of roughly $87, according to Binance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking ahead from a technical perspective, Bitcoin is targeting its recent local high, the $72,000\u2013$73,000 resistance area,\u201d added Selby. \u201cA sustained close above that level on volume shifts the narrative from short squeeze to genuine momentum recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
