After the US launched airstrikes against Venezuela, the market initially worried that geopolitical risks might impact cryptocurrency prices, but several analysts believe that a large-scale correction in Bitcoin is unlikely in the short term. Although historically Bitcoin has experienced frequent fluctuations during major geopolitical events, the current market structure and sentiment indicate that its resilience is strengthening.
Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, stated on social media that this US airstrike will not trigger a sharp decline in Bitcoin. He pointed out that the military action is a “planned and organized attack,” the event itself was short-lived and has already ended, making it less likely to cause sustained market shocks. In his view, events that are quickly absorbed by the market often do not serve as direct triggers for deep Bitcoin price corrections.
Looking at market data, Bitcoin’s response to this news has been relatively restrained. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin has risen about 1.66% in the past 24 hours, regaining the $90,000 level, with a high of $91,290, demonstrating that buying pressure remains resilient. Meanwhile, CoinGlass data shows that Bitcoin leveraged liquidations in the past 24 hours amounted to approximately $60.04 million, with over $55 million being short positions, reflecting significant short squeeze during the upward movement.
Historically, Bitcoin has indeed experienced short-term dips due to geopolitical tensions. For example, during escalations in Iran-Israel and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, BTC saw rapid corrections multiple times. After an explosion in Tehran in June 2025, Bitcoin dropped nearly 3% within 90 minutes. However, compared to that time, Bitcoin has repeatedly demonstrated greater price stability within high-range zones.
Other analysts share similar views. Analyst Tyler Hill mentioned that typically, when the market expects conflict escalation to continue, risk assets tend to sell off significantly, but this time, the market did not react similarly, which could instead be seen as a sign of market strength. Analyst Shagun Magan also pointed out that Bitcoin remains resilient amid “geopolitical noise,” which boosts market confidence in whether BTC can continue to hold above $90,000.
Overall, in the current macro environment, the US airstrike on Venezuela has a more short-term impact on Bitcoin prices, mainly causing emotional disturbances. As long as there is no further systemic escalation, the probability of a significant short-term correction remains limited, and the $90,000 level is likely to continue serving as a core support zone in the ongoing battle between bulls and bears.
