El oro cae, el petróleo se dispara, pero ¿por qué Bitcoin se está disparando hasta los 71.000 dólares?
-
Despite facing some serious headwinds, the Bitcoin price is showing some serious resilience these days.As oil pushes back above $100 and traditional havens wobble, Bitcoin is emerging as the asset traders keep reaching for.
The Bitcoin price has jumped roughly 8% from the start of the Iran war on Feb. 28 through mid-March, while the S&P 500 and gold were both down more than 3%.
At the time of writing this report, the Bitcoin price is looking to rebound from the hawkish Fed weakness and is surging towards reclaiming the $71,000 levels.
Bitcoin: The unlikely winner
Bitcoin’s outperformance is striking because it has come during a textbook geopolitical shock.
As the uncertainty rises amid geopolitical tensions, the investors rush towards 'safe assets' like bullion, dollars, and short-dated government debt.
Instead, the crypto market has held its ground while oil volatility has deepened, with Brent still above $100 a barrel.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed about $1.145 billion over three consecutive sessions in early March, a burst of institutional demand strong enough to push BTC through key technical levels.
Why is gold moving against the trend?
From the second half of 2025, the gold price has seen a parabolic rally, and the trend continued in the initial days of the Middle East war.
But as the crisis deepened, the analysts said that the form of fear changed.
With inflation fears running high, the investors started piling up oo assets that offer returns instead of gold.
Crypto’s 24/7 structure has become an edge in this conflict because digital-asset markets were the only major venue open for global risk trading when the war escalated.
That helps explain why Bitcoin has behaved less like a classic commodity hedge and more like a high-liquidity macro instrument.
Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani captured that shift neatly this week when he said Bitcoin and crypto markets had appeared robust in light of the Middle East turmoil, outperforming both gold and stock indices.
Why traders are still cautious
Bitcoin briefly pushed to $76,000 earlier this week before slipping back and is trading above the $70,600 level at the time of writing this report.
Wintermute trader Bryan Tan leaned cautious, arguing that markets are still being jerked around by the same macro forces driving the wider crisis.
He added that the collapse in Hormuz tanker traffic, rising oil-risk premiums, and a bond market are repricing inflation fears in real time.
That caution matters because one of the biggest upside drivers for Bitcoin right now may also be the most fragile.
If the Trump administration follows through on discussions about releasing sanctioned Iranian crude, oil prices could cool sharply, and risk appetite could reset again.
Bitcoin has clearly been stronger than many expected in the first phase of the Iran conflict.
But whether that strength marks a lasting change or just a highly liquid response to an unusual war remains the key question near $71,000.
