The price of bitcoin was trading at $69,500 following the news, down 1.2% over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin is holding up near the upper $60Ks–$70K region despite a sharp macro shock, showing relative resilience versus equities and other risk assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims $70,000 as Iran War Jitters Ease and Volatility Cools Bitcoin Is Resilient Enough Bitcoin appears to have passed the first stress test of the Iran shock and its aftermath. As we covered yesterday, Bitcoin snapped back above $70,000 after Iran war jitters eased, oil backed off its spike, and derivatives stress started to cool, turning a brutal liquidation into a fast‑acting relief rally. Since then, BTC has absorbed another wave of macro nerves, briefly sliding below $63,000 on the latest risk‑off flush before clawing its way back into the high‑$60,000s/low‑$70,000s range. QCP Capital’s March 11 “Market Colour” note leans into that idea, arguing that Bitcoin has shown “notable resilience following the latest geopolitical shock”. A Tale Of Caution However, despite the recovery being encouraging, QCP’s Market Colour note also suggests that the price actions “looks more like stabilization than a full return to risk-on positioning”. This caution is reflected by the options markets. Implied volatility has cooled from the extreme spike after the last sell‑off and now sits in the mid‑50s, but 25‑delta risk reversals remain negative, showing traders still pay a premium for short‑dated downside puts versus upside calls. Spot BTC is holding up, but options desks don’t yet believe in an explosive upside; they are still hedging against another leg lower, in line with QCP’s observation that downside protection remains in demand. Related Reading: Bitcoin Robbery: French Couple Held Hostage As Fake Cops Steal €900K in BTC “Stagflation” Risk For Bitcoin QCP’s reading of BTC’s recent activity frames it in “stagflationary shock”. Stagflation is the worst possible macro mix for traders: growth is stalling, inflation is still hot, and the Fed can’t easily save risk assets without risking even more inflations. Since tensions escalated in the Middle East and oil ripped toward the $120 area, global markets have been trading a stagflation narrative: softer stocks, higher yields, and an inflation shock driven by energy rather than growth. As we recently highlighted, macro analyst Alex Krüger argues that the Iran‑driven oil shock of 2026 looks more transitory than the 2022 Russia shock, with futures pricing still suggesting markets expect supply chains to heal rather than a prolonged energy crunch that would force the Fed into panic hikes What Traders Should Look For Caught between its “digital gold” narrative and its behaviour as a high‑beta macro asset, bitcoin cannot amount to a clean safe‑haven victory lap just yet. Instead, the tape and the options surface are sending a more nuanced message: spot is resilient, but big players are still paying for downside protection and treating every bounce as a potential fade if the macro data breaks the wrong way. For traders, the setup is binary around the incoming CPI and the energy tape. A benign inflation print and calmer oil could finally flip this from “stagflation scare” to “soft‑landing hope”. A hotter‑than‑expected CPI, by contrast, would validate the stagflation narrative, reward those who stayed hedged, and reopen the door to a deeper retest of the mid‑$60,000s before any attempt at new highs.

Ethereum continues to struggle to surmount the resistance that has mounted at $3,000, with bears maintaining a firm grip on the price. Nevertheless, bullish sentiment surrounding the Ethereum price has not been completely eroded. This suggests that investors still expect the price to recover from the current decline. Crypto analyst Master Ananda shares a more bullish view for the cryptocurrency, predicting that 5-figures remain in the future. Ethereum Price To Push Above $10,0000 In the analysis, Master Ananda explains that the Ethereum story is far from over. The crypto analyst pointed out the appearance of Trend-Based Fibonacci extension numbers on the Ethereum price chart. These suggest that the Ethereum price is getting ready for another major rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin At The Bottom? The 23-Month Cycle That Has Never Failed Following this trend, the analyst believes that the digital asset’s price will hit 5-figures. However, despite $10,000 looking more elusive with each passing day, Master Ananda says it doesn’t look like the all-time high target for Ethereum. Instead, $10,000 is only a “mid-portion” target, meaning that he expects the price to rise higher. In contrast to the expected $10,000 target that Ethereum has been predicted to hit, the crypto analyst sees the price rising as high as $20,000 at this time. Such a recovery would mean an over 900% increase in price for Ethereum, and likely trigger an altcoin season, as has been the case in the past. Looking at the chart, there are some major resistance levels where the bears could put up a fight. The first is around $4,900, where the current all-time high sits. Then, moving further along comes the $10,690 resistance. This is a natural resistance as $10,000 is expected to be a major psychological level.

This is expected to be the peak before the cryptocurrency moves into another bear market again. As for the timeframe for when this could happen, the crypto analyst explains that investors will not have to wait long for this to happen. “We don’t have to wait four years for this event to take place. It is all starting now… Ethereum is headed for a target of $20,000,” the post reads. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
