Bitcoin often experiences significant volatility following the opening of traditional futures markets each Sunday evening in light of geopolitical developments.

A recent report from the Washington Post has revealed the United States has begun preparations for a potential ground invasion of Iran, which could extend over a two-month period. This follows earlier reports suggesting the Pentagon might dispatch approximately 10,000 troops to the area as part of a significant military strategy. Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter indicated that such an intervention would likely involve a combination of Special Operations forces and regular infantry.

There has been speculation regarding the possibility of the US targeting Kharg Island, a critical asset in Iran’s oil infrastructure, along with coastal operations near the Strait of Hormuz.

In this context, US President Donald Trump has fluctuated between announcing that the conflict is approaching a conclusion and issuing threats of escalation.
