Been thinking if the war is really controlling the market. I mean, we’re in a bear run, right? But seems like every time there’s a dip, there’s some negative news that makes it worse. It could be hacks or wars, and it just keeps people thinking that’s the cause of the big losses.

Honestly, I believe it’s more coincidence. Bitcoin trends just align with the news. Like last year, during the bullish run, Bybit got hacked and there were conflicts… it’s not just bad things happening during bear markets. It’s all part of the cycle.

I get that. But I think without the war, we’d still be in a bear market. It was on its way down before any conflict started. The war just sped things up a bit, but it’s not the real reason behind it.

Totally agree. The war can definitely have some effect on Bitcoin, but it’s not like we’re out of the bear market yet. Current prices are a bit of a relief, but it’s still uncertain. The economic turmoil makes Bitcoin more appealing as a safe haven, though.

Right, the market’s unpredictable with all these factors. Wars can influence things, but we’ve seen that bad news can happen anytime, not just in bear times. It’s like a constant cycle of fear and panic.

For sure, the insecurity from wars creates fear in investors. Especially for countries rich in oil, they might prioritize rebuilding instead of investing in crypto. So we’ll likely see people shy away from crypto for a while.

War does impact things but remember, we were already facing challenges pre-war with tariffs and the AI boom. Bitcoin was on a downward trend before all this. Can’t just blame the war.

Exactly. Previous bear markets often had a negative event linked to them, but they’re inevitable. Looking back, Bitcoin dropped significantly before this war even began.

Totally. The four-year cycle means we have to accept a bear market eventually. People usually buy the dip, but sentiment drives those decisions. Bad news in a bull market gets absorbed while in a bear market, people panic.

Yeah, I don’t think the war triggered this bear market either. The market was already declining before all the headlines. The real fear was already there. It just intensified the panic.

Some members mentioned the bear market started before the war, and that’s true. This conflict hasn’t really moved the market significantly. So maybe just treat it as normal volatility.

Little to no effect from the war on market prices. If anything, we’re in bear territory regardless. It’s a long road ahead to see any bullish trends, probably not this year.

For sure, I don’t think the war is the main driver either. Bitcoin moves in cycles, and negative news just accelerates drops.

A lot plays into the market movement. A single event like a war isn’t the sole factor unless it gets really severe. We were already on a downturn before any conflict.

Nope, don’t expect major changes to keep happening. With Bitcoin, corrections happen after hitting new highs. Anyone claiming continuous gains might be fooling people.

Agreed, a big change usually signals a drop in price. The market is already down significantly, and there are no guarantees it will bounce back any time soon.

Yeah, I doubt war keeps prices up. We’re down so much already, and any positive news doesn’t last long.

I think a correction was inevitable after that crazy bull run. The war just sped it up. What matters is how we recover from these dips.

Exactly, crypto shows resilience over time. I’m actually feeling pretty good about the market right now.

Crypto prices don’t just drop because of wars. The market was already in decline before this conflict, though it might have affected prices more later.
