Bitcoin Price Bounce Has Nothing to Do With Iran Situation

2020-1-6 19:41

Commentators were quick to link Friday’s bitcoin price bounce to the US airstrike on a top Iranian general. The real reason is more mundane.

The bitcoin price surged $538 (+7.8%) on Coinbase overnight and into the morning, pulling back at noon Friday morning.Commentators were quick to link the sudden spike to the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.Are we beginning to see the bitcoin price factor in geopolitical risk? Not likely in this case anyway. Here’s why.

The bitcoin price made a swift advance from a 16-day low at $6,853 around 9 pm Eastern Time Thursday night. It reached $7,391 on Coinbase just before noon on the East Coast Friday. Commentators couldn’t help but link bitcoin’s sudden turn to the U.S. airstrike that killed a ranking Iranian general in Iraq.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Trump ordered the strike based on intelligence to disrupt an “imminent attack” on American lives in the region. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, promised “forceful” reprisals against the United States.

Bitcoin Price Watchers Point To U.S.-Iran Conflict

A crypto and blockchain contributor at Forbes noted the timing of bitcoin’s price rally with the airstrike. The article cited Matthew Graham, chief executive of Sino Global Capital, who asked:

Goldbug and crypto bear Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital drew the same conclusion. Of course he phrased his assessment of the correlation as a disparagement of bitcoin:

The bitcoin price and Iraq airstrike dots are right next to each other on the timeline. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re connected. It’s just as likely a coincidence as it is a correlation.

Bitcoin And Geopolitical Risks

On Dec. 14 North Korea announced a crucial rocket test improving its long range nuclear missile capability.

The ICBM breakthrough may have put more of the U.S. mainland within Kim Jong Un’s cross hairs. South Korea confirmed the announcement. North Korea threatened to send Washington “a Christmas gift” after the rocket test.

Over the next four days the bitcoin price slid nearly $800 from just below the $7,300 handle to $6,500. It crashed below the $7,000 level for only the second time since last May.

So within the last month it’s apparent that other factors than geopolitical risks are more heavily weighted in bitcoin’s price.
