Israeli Military Operations Continue in Lebanon Despite Ceasefire Extension

Bitcoin

The crypto market is currently trapped in a macro-driven bear trap where geopolitical events are secondary to interest rate expectations. With BTC dominance at 58.3% (implied from market cap data), this event reinforces the 'flight to quality' within crypto, accelerating capital rotation out of high-risk altcoins into BTC as a relative safe haven. Historically, such Middle East tensions correlate with 2-3% BTC drawdowns only when coupled with USD strength - which is currently present with DXY near 106.

The US State Department announced that Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend a ceasefire.
