Bitcoin is climbing in early U.S. trading Monday, pushing back toward the $70k level after weekend volatility.
The rebound comes as markets digest the U.S. strikes on Iran. U.S. stocks opened weak but stabilized quickly.
• Nasdaq down just 0.1% after futures signaled a possible 2% drop
• S&P 500 and Dow posting only modest losses
Crypto is moving higher alongside stocks:
• BTC up about 3.3% over the past 24 hours
• ETH +1.4%
• XRP posting similar gains
Traditional safe-haven assets remain strong:
• Gold +2%
• Oil +7%
• U.S. Dollar Index having one of its strongest sessions in weeks.
Here’s a list of stocks that could benefit if US/Iran tensions escalate.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Middle East tensions escalating
🛢 Oil moving higher
🥇 Gold drawing safe-haven demand
📉 Risk assets turning fragile
War redirects capital.
If this escalates:
• Oil shock fears grow
• Dollar strengthens
• Liquidity tightens
• Altcoins likely bleed first
Bitcoin faces another test.
"Bitcoin is dead” searches just hit extreme highs, historically a bottom signal, not the end. When Bitcoin slows after a run, money doesn’t leave crypto it moves into other coins looking for bigger gains. Why XRP ?
• XRP Ledger dominates tokenized U.S. Treasuries share
• Growing real-world asset tokenization + institutional use
• Q2 could accelerate on-chain credit & tokenized asset growth
• Rising utility strengthens its long-term niche
Q2 isn’t panic season.
It’s positioning season
Bitcoin sliding for a third straight session down to $66K, ETH sitting around $1,950, and now that the 200-week EMA just broke, $52K is looking like the next bearish target. I would hold on buying until Q2. XRP is trading roughly between $1.38–$1.45 as sellers keep pressure.
BTC and ETH are down around 15%, XRP closer to 25%, and it’s lining up with the broader tech selloff and macro uncertainty. Inflation fears and regulatory noise are definitely in the mix.
Long-Term/Macro Support: $50,000 - $55,000. (I Would Buy at $55k)
Remember, the GENIUS Act will rapidly accelerate XRP's reintegration into U.S financial markets which will support its price by attracting institutional investors.

China may be dumping all their US treasuries. 10 year treasury at 4% 30 year treasury at 5 % HUGE SPIKES . There's an inverse relationship with treasury and yield. The more you sell the higher the yield, the more you buy the lower the yield. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.
