Markets are shaking as the
The Dow Jones dropped almost 800 points on Friday. This pushed it into
Tech stocks hurt the most. The “Magnificent Seven” – like Meta and Google – lost $850 billion in value last week. Meta and Google took big hits after a lawsuit loss on social media addiction.
Early Monday, futures looked a bit better. S&P 500 futures up slightly, Dow and Nasdaq 100 also ticking higher. But Asian markets struggled. South Korea’s index fell 3.2%, Japan’s Nikkei dropped 3.4%.
Bitcoin fell to $65,112 early Monday – its lowest since the
Weekly trends stay red for most coins. Bitcoin down 1%, Ethereum down 0.9%, XRP down 1.9%, Solana down 3.7%. Tron bucked the trend, up 2.6% daily and 4.6% weekly.
The Bitcoin drop below $66,000 broke a key support level. Traders now eye if it holds. Crypto acts like a risk asset in this war climate, moving with stocks.
The war grows. Houthi forces now fight, broadening the conflict. Iran hit two aluminum sites, spiking aluminum prices 6%. This spreads pain to industrial chains, not just oil.
Brent crude rose 2.5% to $115 per barrel. Oil is up 90% this year. Higher oil fuels inflation fears. It makes Fed rate cuts harder. Central banks watch energy costs closely.
Reports say leaders eye a move on Iran’s uranium. No call yet, but it adds fear. Geopolitical risks drive safe-haven buys like gold, but hurt crypto and stocks.
Crude at $115 changes everything. Gas prices rise, shipping costs jump. This hits consumers and companies. Factories pay more for energy and metals.
For crypto, high oil means tighter money policy. Less rate cuts slow economic growth, bad for risk assets like Bitcoin. Watch Fed signals this week.
Markets eye US jobs data:
Markets close Friday for Good Friday. Nike earnings show consumer health. USA Rare Earth and Trilogy Metals report on minerals – key for tech and green energy.
Strong jobs could push rates higher, bad for crypto. Weak data might spark rate cut hopes, lifting Bitcoin.
Blockchain thrives in chaos, but wars hit hard. Crypto volumes drop as fear rules. Yet, Bitcoin’s fixed supply shines as fiat weakens from inflation.
Solana’s dip shows layer-1 pain, but its speed draws buyers on dips. Ethereum eyes upgrades amid volatility. XRP gains from remittance needs in tense times.
Tron’s weekly win ties to stablecoin use in emerging markets, less war-exposed.
Monday bounce hints at calm, but war news rules. If Bitcoin holds $66K, bulls return. Dow correction may deepen if jobs miss.
Stay informed. Crypto weathers storms but needs peace for big runs. Follow for daily updates on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and market moves.
