Iran-Israel Conflict Can Escalate With Britain, US Joining
Geopolitical tensions are on the rise amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, with superpowers like US and UK hinting that they are willing to join the war. As per the latest Bloomberg report, senior officials in the US are preparing for a strike on Iran. This comes as Trump denied any peace talks with Iran in the ongoing conflict earlier this week.
Some of the sources told Bloomberg that Washington officials are assembling the infrastructure in order to engage in a direct conflict with Tehran. According to The Times, Britain is weighing the possibility of joining a conflict against Iran if the United States intervenes alongside Israel.
Ahead of the FOMC meeting, Bitcoin price faced selling pressure and is currently holding support at $104K. As the geopolitical conflict escalates, investors take a wait-and-see approach.
The STH/LTH Supply Ratio has declined to 15.7%, dipping below its statistical low band. This indicates that short-term traders remain inactive, while long-term holders continue to maintain their positions.
