Bitcoin Outperforms Traditional Assets Weeks After Iran War Shock

Bitcoin initially dropped when the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran began, as it was the only major liquid market trading when the first strikes occurred on a Saturday. The digital asset fell about 8.5% on the opening day of the conflict.

However, roughly two weeks later Bitcoin has rebounded strongly, rising around 11% from those early lows and outperforming several traditional assets during the same period.

Higher Lows Signal Strong Market Support

Despite reacting to negative geopolitical headlines, Bitcoin has repeatedly recovered after each sell-off. Market data shows buyers entering at progressively higher levels.

The price floor formed near $64,000 on Feb. 28, then climbed to about $66,000 on March 2 following retaliatory strikes. By March 7 the support level moved to around $68,000, later strengthening near $69,400 and eventually reaching roughly $70,596.

Resistance has remained near the $73,000 to $74,000 range, creating a tightening price structure.

Bitcoin Outperforms Stocks and Gold

During the same two-week period, Bitcoin has performed better than major traditional markets such as the S&P 500 and even Gold.

While oil and the U.S. dollar have gained due to the conflict, Bitcoin has increasingly acted as a 24-hour liquidity market capable of absorbing geopolitical shocks faster than most financial assets.
