Last week, Bitcoin saw a notable rally of nearly 10% as peace talks between the United States and Iran commenced, providing a brief boost to risk assets. However, these talks broke down in Islamabad, Pakistan, leading to a 2.3% decline in Bitcoin's value as news of the failed negotiations spread. The situation escalated further when former President Donald Trump announced a full naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, which could reduce global oil supply by 20%. This blockade comes amidst the worst energy crisis in history, raising concerns about a potential global recession. Despite Bitcoin's recent performance, its future as a safe haven asset is uncertain, especially as traditional safe havens, such as gold, have not provided the expected security during these turbulent times. Investors are left questioning whether Bitcoin can maintain its upward trajectory or if it will succumb to the pressures of a bear market driven by economic instability.
