I see that Bitcoin has now risen to $72.87K, up 8.83% over the past week while global markets are concerned about geopolitical tensions. Gold, on the other hand, continues to decline, experiencing nine consecutive days of losses—the longest streak in many years. This pattern is unusual because gold typically rises during turmoil, but now liquidity is prioritized over safety.

On the crypto side, Ether has reached $2.24K with a 2.27% gain in 24 hours, while XRP is at $1.35. BNB has slightly decreased to $606.70, Solana is at $84.51, and Dogecoin remains at $0.09 but has increased by 2.23% over the week. Overall sentiment is mixed—Bitcoin performed the best among all assets during this period, but others are struggling. The fourth market behavior model I see is this: when war tensions rise, traditional safe-haven assets are no longer reliable, so investors try to diversify across different risk management architectures.

Oil has also risen—Brent crude is at $113 per barrel and has increased by over 70% year-to-date. Goldman Sachs has upgraded its forecast due to the "biggest supply shock" risk in the Strait of Hormuz. Asian equities are entering correction territory, and bond yields are rising as markets expect a prolonged conflict to boost inflation. An interesting timing for crypto investors positioning for upside surprises in the coming weeks.
