Axios understands that such a war has far-reaching consequences for the entire region and is poised to mark the end of President Trump's presidency in three major ways.

The price of gold is rising: tension between the United States and Iran is stimulating pressure on safe havens. On February 19, the price of gold showed an increase. Metal prices increased by 2% to $4,989.09 per ounce. The main reason was tension between the US and Iran, which discourages investors from transferring capital from safe assets. Dynamics of silver, platinum and palladium The price showed an increase of 0.9%, reaching 77.87 dollars per ounce. The metal is supported by the exchange rate and low stocks on the COMEX exchange.
"The silver is supported by the limited proposition and low level of inventories on the COMEX ahead of the delivery period of the birch contract. However, due to the magnitude of the historical correction for the beginning of this month, the silver will not reverse until “I’ll be safe until the price exceeds 86 dollars,” explained Ole Hansen, head of strategy for Saxo Bank.
Other high-value metals showed decreases:
spot platinum fell 0.6% to $2,059.55; Paladium lost 1.7%, falling to $1,686.47. Apparently, the price of gold fell by 1.5% to 4,918.65 dollars per ounce on the 17th levy, reaching its low. The decline in the value of expensive metals was due to the stabilization of dry assets and the return of traders to the results of diplomatic contacts between representatives of the United States, Iran, Ukraine and russia.#XAU #PAXG #GOLD $XAU $PAXG $XAG
en|en|#USJobsData US Macro Data. What to Expect Today?
The weekly US labor market report is released today: Initial Jobless Claims – 3:30 PM.
This indicator reflects the current layoff trend and the state of the labor market in real time. A decline in claims signals a stable labor market and a robust economy, while an increase suggests a possible cooling of the economy and reduced pressure from the Fed.
Forecast: 223K. Previous: 227K.
Classic scenario:
- Positive: Below 215K → labor market stronger than expected → less chance of a rate cut → USD up.
- Neutral: 215-230K → near expectations → limited market reaction.
- Negative: Above 230K → rising layoffs → signal of economic cooling → pressure on the dollar.
Cryptocurrency scenario:
- Positive: Above 230K → labor market weakness → expectations of a more accommodative Fed policy → yields down → crypto support.
- Neutral: Around 223K → weak reaction, movement in line with overall risk sentiment.
- Negative: Below 215K → strong economy → USD strengthening → pressure on risk assets and crypto.
Key point: the indicator is volatile from week to week, so markets react more to strong deviations from the forecast and the overall order book trend.

In other words, Bitcoin is being shaped in several ways: as a digital analogue of gold, as a tool for transforming the financial system, and as a form of power that can easily be moved between borders.
Regardless of the economic situation, I would like to use one of these factors to support long-term growth of the asset. Sailor noted that the current decline in cryptocurrencies can be called a cryptowinter, since the proteon has significantly weakened over the previous cycles.
In his words, this correction will not go beyond the historical norm and, most likely, will appear short beyond the recession, after which there will be phases of renewal and new growth.
“More investors are adding a small portion of BTC to their portfolio for the sake of diversification, rather than being ideologically biased. The crypto industry has moved to a phase of mature institutional participation in line with the previous cycles,” Saylor explained.
Strategy may continue to purchase bitcoin at least once per quarter, regardless of the current price. Volatility is natural for the first cryptocurrency, and the company’s strategy cannot be changed.
The company has enough preparation to cover the goiter with a stretch of two rocks in the minds of the frozen market, adding wine.
Earlier in the What Bitcoin Did program, Sailor stated that the real progress of Bitcoin is manifested not in price charts, but in the crypto investments of great companies and the willingness of banks to take advantage of BTC. #BTC $BTC

The United States is preparing a large-scale military campaign against Iran, which could last several weeks and be comparable to a full-scale war, Axios reports, citing sources.
According to journalists, the operation could be carried out jointly with Israel and significantly exceed the scale of recent regional conflicts.
US Air Force deployment to the Middle East in the past 48 hours:
- 48 F-16 fighters. - 12 F-22 fighters. - 18 F-35 fighters. - 6 E-3G Sentry AWACS airborne early warning and control system aircraft. - About 40 tanker aircraft. - One RC-135V Rivet Joint strategic reconnaissance aircraft.
This is all in addition to what has been deployed over the past month.
Sources consider a deal unlikely, and the "window of opportunity" for diplomacy closed. Israeli military officials are considering a preemptive strike against Iran and warning of the risk of a major military conflict. $BNB
Arthur Hayes said that Bitcoin is signaling the alarm about the shortening of liquidity, leaving the market underestimating the deflationary effect of the liquidity crisis.
👉 Based on the estimate that 20% of bankers spend money through the Internet, banks could face up to $557 billion in surpluses and write-offs of about 13% of capital.
Hayes believes that in times of crisis, the Fed will restart the Drukarsky verstat, so that by doing so they can push Bitcoin to a new growth. #BTC $BTC
Stablecoin supply has remained flat since October, ETF inflows have turned negative, DAT inflows have stalled, and fundraising has returned to bear market levels. When inflows from all major sources simultaneously slow, price movement typically follows.
The only real factors that could be driving this are the accumulation of RWAs, the gradual return of major players to DeFi, and the potential positive impact of the CLARITY Act.
If these three factors don't lead to real capital inflows, the situation will remain devoid of liquidity. $BNB $BTC $ETH
The end of euphoria and the time-consuming change?
Why did gold spend 10%, and silver - 36% Investors are fixing profits, and experts are expecting a new rise. The market for high-value metals has entered a correction phase due to the underlying instability on the light exchanges and the cryptocurrency market. At the end of the day, prices for gold and silver reached their highest levels in their entire history, after which a collapse occurred. Although the situation stabilized until the middle of the year, gold lost 10% of its value, and gold fell in price by more than 36%. Most analysts believe that the market has not yet exhausted its potential and in 2026 prices for expensive metals may increase by 10–40%. What are these forecasts based on and what is the sense of investing in gold and silver at once? What can be expected from the prices of expensive metals in the current The fall in prices for expensive metals occurred during the last few days. In the period from 29 today to 2 lutos, gold fell in price by more than 21% - from a maximum of $5600 to $4400, and silver fell by 41% - from $121.7 to $71.3 (here and further the price for one troy ounce is indicated). Although the fall did not end there, 6 years ago the price reached the lowest value – $64. After this, the quotes began to increase step by step, but the prices never returned to the extreme level. Until the 13th month, gold (from the lowest point) rose in price by 15% (to $5050) at the close of the trading session, and silver – by 21%, to $77.5. However, the drop in gold was less profound, and its current price was approximately 10% lower than the all-time high (or ATH), which reached the 29th. Silver fell in price much more, so its value is 36% lower than the ATH. The capitalization of the market of expensive metals has noticeably accelerated. Zokrema, gold spent $3.5 trillion from September 29 to February 13, and its capitalization is about $34.4 trillion. The capitalization of the economy changed by $0.66 trillion to $1.44 trillion. Well, the two leading high-value metals have lost $4.2 trillion. To put it into perspective: this delta is perhaps twice as large, the lower capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market, which by 15 years was close to $2.4 trillion. What are the reasons for reducing prices? The vicious cycle on the market of high-value metals has already affected three fates. The growth of gold began in the spring of 2022 with a price of $1632, and gold began in the spring of 2022 with a price of $18. Retrospective analysis shows that the average number of such cycles is three to five. Although, for example, at the beginning of the 2000s, expensive metals grew steadily 10 times - from 2001 to 2011, gold rose in price by more than 600%, and silver increased in price by 12 times. Ale such a supercycle is glad to blame the rules. And the maturity of the market is evident from the fact that the price of expensive metals is already close to its upper limit. #GOLD #Silver #XAU #PAXG $XAU $XAG

The paradox of “night trading”: Bitcoin and Ethereum will grow when Wall Street sleeps
The paradox of “night trading”: Bitcoin and Ethereum will grow when Wall Street sleeps According to new data from the analytical company Bluekurtic Market Insights, all the negativity in the market is generated including during active trading sessions on Wall Street. At the “night” hour, the assets demonstrate increased growth. Two realities of one market Analysts divided the profitability of the two leading cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin and Ethereum - into two periods: “Intraday” (from the opening to the close of trading) and “Overnight” (from the closing to the closing). The results for the beginning of 2025 were surprising: Bitcoin (BTC): Zagal result (Buy & Hold): -25.9% Money trading: -39.2% Night Morning: +21.8% Ethereum (ETH): Zagal result (Buy & Hold): -39.7% Money trading: -59.9% Night Morning: +50.2% Who “drives in” the price? The charts clearly demonstrate: the left side of the sellers’ grip falls on the trading year itself (the red line on the chart). During this period, when traditional financial institutions are active, American and European stock exchanges operate, and prices for ETFs are also observed. Experts see a number of reasons for this split: Institutional sales: Great American funds that operate in the US working year are systematically shortening positions, creating a constant pressure on the price. Asian optimism: "Night" growth is often countered by the Asian trading session, where investors may be more inclined to buy. ETF factor: Flows of assets from spot ETFs (which are traded more than once a day) can create negative dynamics that push the market down during the working year. #BTC #bitcoin #ETH $BTC $ETH
