The post War Chatter Spikes To 3-Month High As Trump Ends Iran Ceasefire, Crypto Markets Brace For Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. War-related social volume across crypto platforms climbed to a three-month high on Tuesday after former President Trump announced the U.S. was withdrawing from the Iran ceasefire and warned that additional military action was on the table. According to the Santiment update, mentions of “war,” “Iran,” and “ceasefire” exploded immediately after the statements, pushing the social trend indicator to levels not seen since April. The spike followed renewed U.S.-Iran strikes and a collapse in diplomacy, with traders scrambling to gauge whether the escalation was a fresh geopolitical shock or another cycle of headline brinkmanship. For markets, the immediate question is whether this chatter translates into sustained selling pressure or just another round of headline-driven whipsaws. Santiment warned that the likely outcome is more volatility before

The post EUR/GBP Price Forecast: Languishes below 0.8550 with bullish attempts subdued appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Euro (EUR) keeps treading water right above one-year lows against the British Pound (GBP) on Thursday. The EUR/GBP is trading flat in the area of 0.8530 at the time of writing, weighed by rising tensions between the US and Iran and the rebound in oil prices. In the Eurozone, German Trade Balance data beat expectations with a EUR 19.1 billion surplus in May, from the 14.5 billion surplus seen in April, as exports grew against expectations. The data, however, has failed to provide any significant support to the Euro. Meanwhile, the US has launched a new round of attacks in Iran, which targeted US bases in Gulf countries in retaliation.

The post Oil: Risk premium returns on Gulf supply concerns – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Commerzbank’s Thu Lan Nguyen argues that recent US policy towards Iran has reversed market expectations of a rapid normalisation in Gulf energy supplies, challenging earlier pricing of an Oil supply glut. With the Iran deal apparently called off by President Trump, she notes that Middle East risks remain unresolved, implying a renewed risk premium and potential volatility in energy prices. US stance revives supply risk “Over the past few days we had expressed scepticism about the rapid decline in the oil price, not least because shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has picked up but still remains well below pre-war levels. The market, however, appeared to look straight through this and was already pricing in supply glut on the oil market.” “It turns out that the US administration shares our sceptical assessment of the oil supply situation rather than the market’s.

The post Bitcoin Steady at $62K Despite Iran-Israel Strike Escalation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. IRAN-ISRAEL News Bitcoin held above $62,000 on Thursday even as the latest round of U.S. strikes against Iran pushed the conflict into a sharper phase. The largest cryptocurrency traded at $62,009, down just 1.2% over 24 hours yet up 1.6% on the week, a strikingly muted reaction for an asset that once shed 5% on a single Middle East headline. Our reading of the tape is that the market absorbed the escalation without the panic seen in earlier legs of the conflict. Traders continue to flag $60,000 as the line that matters: defending it through further military action would confirm that the recent calm is structural rather than luck. The war premium showed up most clearly in energy. Brent crude climbed roughly 1% to $78.80 a barrel, a third straight session of gains, after Washington completed another wave of strikes and both sides raised the prospect of closing the Strait of Hormuz,
