Oh, fantastic. Bitcoin is doing exactly what it always does when the U.S. and Iran start yelling at each other – it’s dropping like my patience during a long elevator ride. Apparently, the market’s got a formula for this kind of drama that’s as reliable as my neighbor’s tap water.
When Wars Trigger the 20%-40% Rally Ramen Flip
So, right now we’re smack in the middle of a political feud that had just enough time to make Bitcoin flop 48 percent from its all‑time peak. And guess what? It’s the kind of week that’s going to be the fifth red candle in a row. I’m telling you, the crypto thingamajig is looking more depleted than my mother’s mailbox after a storm.
In the first two months of this year, Bitcoin has slid off 24 percent since January. February’s finish left it 14.8 percent lower than its opening, which makes it the third-worst February in the Casey Log Derby of digital currency. Remember those two worse Februarys? Yep, 2025 showed 17.5 percent and in 2014 we’ve got 33 percent. Amazing.
The analyst Ted Pillows, though, truly wears his sarcasm like a lucky charm. He showed a chart that makes you feel like you
could see the future through last year’s political fireworks. In February 2022 with Russia vs. Ukraine, Bitcoin went down before it upped itself 40 percent. In June 2025, after Israel made a blip on Iran, it fell again but managed to lift off by about 25 percent.
Now the U.S. hit Iran on a Saturday. Bitcoin is staring at the same old question that Ted’s lips are made of: Will this shock heal into a pull‑back? Will it earn itself that old familiar rebound? My patience is outrunning the market for a waltz.

And there’s Sherlock, the part-time analyst who pretends to read between the lines like a mystery novel. He says when the U.S. or Israel strikes Iran, Bitcoin tends to drop R for ruins over the weekend and then bounces back in the next day or two. He’s got crystal balls kinda, you know.
Back in April 2024, after Iran struck Israel, Bitcoin fell eight percent overnight and recovered in just two days. October 2024 gave us a three percent drop that disappeared within twenty-four hours.

In June 2025, U.S. strikes knocked Bitcoin down 6 percent – and that was all on Sunday. The next two months? A stunning 62 percent rally that broke new all‑time highs in October. The only twist: the initial fall happened before the market woke up.
Market Already Deeply Corrected, Or Not- Whatever
See, this time’s a bit different. Unlike before, Bitcoin was in a strong uptrend during the 2025 shock. Today’s lineup looks wild because Bitcoin’s been on a five‑month drawdown. It’s like walking through a maze that keeps getting darker.
Bitcoin’s weekly RSI is at a historically low spot. The Fear & Greed Index is in every‑rock state of deep fear for twenty‑two straight days. And leveraged positions have been trimmed so sharply the whole thing could trigger a panic faster than my cat flips the light switch at midnight.
The panic selling in past events came right after the geopolitical oops. Now, the forced selling and deleveraging seems to have pre‑empted the strike like a sitcom’s opening joke. Weak hands have left the playroom and the excess leverage has gotten the grand exit. So, contrary to pre‑stakes traditions, Bitcoin might not drown in the red for long and could spring back up sooner than we thought.
