📉 CRYPTO WEEK IN REVIEW: Geopolitics Rips Through the Market (Feb 23 – Mar 1, 2026) 🚀
The last week of February 2026 will go down as one of the most turbulent in crypto history. What began as a cautious sideways movement ended in geopolitical shock, followed by a dramatic recovery.
Here is the protocol of a rollercoaster ride:
1. The Shock (Feb 27 – Feb 28): Immediately following news of US-Israeli strikes on Iran, a massive wave of selling hit the market.
Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted from around $65,500 to just under $63,000 within hours.
Altcoins were hit even harder: Ethereum (-8.8%), Solana (-10.8%), and XRP (-9.4%) recorded double-digit losses.
Over $520 million in leveraged positions were liquidated in just 24 hours.
2. The 'War Bounce' & Recovery (Today, Mar 1): Surprisingly, the market stabilized extremely quickly on Sunday.
Bitcoin has already almost entirely erased its losses and is trading back in the $67,000 to $68,000 range today.
Analysts interpret this as a sign that the market is hoping for a short, contained conflict and that Bitcoin is once again seeking its role as a "crisis asset."
3. Institutional Skepticism vs. Retail Greed: While Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows in February for the first time in months, brave retail investors used the "dip" to buy. The Fear & Greed Index plunged deep into the Extreme Fear (11-14) zone—historically often a signal for a bottom.
Conclusion: The market is "broken, but resilient." Volatility remains extreme as the world waits for the stock market opening on Monday.
Your Strategy: Are you staying on the sidelines or did you buy the "conflict dip"? 👇
