Bitcoin Steadies at $105K: Resilient Performance Amid Middle East Tensions

6/16/2025, 1:18:28 AM
Recently, Bitcoin has been strongly pressured amid the panic triggered by geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, with prices oscillating between the 104–106k range. This article analyzes whether Bitcoin can continue to hold the 105k support level, taking into account the latest events and technical aspects.

1. Recent Market Review

Since June, the overall trend of Bitcoin has shown a strong oscillating pattern. On June 13, affected by geopolitical shocks, the Bitcoin price briefly dropped to around 102,400 dollars, but then quickly stabilized and rebounded, returning to above 105,000 dollars within 24 hours, demonstrating that the market resilience remains strong.

According to Gate data, as of June 15th evening, the price of Bitcoin stabilized around $105,000, with a slight increase of 0.1% in the last 24 hours. Over the past 7 days, the price of Bitcoin has fluctuated in the range of 104k–106k, and although market sentiment has been affected, there are no obvious signs of a collapse.

2. Analysis of the Impact of the Middle East Conflict

The core driving force behind this round of fluctuations comes from the escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. On June 13, Israel’s airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities drew international attention. Subsequently, Iran also launched retaliatory strikes against Israeli targets, leading to a sharp increase in market risk aversion. Global stock markets generally fell, while gold and US Treasury prices rose, and Bitcoin experienced a certain degree of selling in the early stages.

Although some investors still view Bitcoin as “digital gold”, the crypto market is often treated as a high-risk asset during extreme risk events in the short term, leading to rapid sell-offs. However, from the rebound rhythm, the buying power for Bitcoin in the market has not significantly weakened, especially after the Asian market opens, where funds quickly flow in, pushing the price back up to around 105k.

This reflects a fact: the investment attributes of Bitcoin are gradually shifting from a purely speculative asset to an “alternative safe-haven asset.” Although it is highly volatile in times of crisis, long-term investors are still willing to buy in at key positions.

3. Analysis of Key Technical Support Levels

From a technical analysis perspective, $105,000 has become a strong support level in the short term. Over the past week, Bitcoin has tested the 104k–105k range multiple times, but has never effectively broken down, indicating strong buying support in that area.

The daily chart shows:

  • Support level: There are a large number of buy orders concentrated near 104k, which has been the starting point for multiple rebounds in the past two weeks.
  • Resistance level: The pressure above the range of 106.5k–107k is obvious, with historical multiple attempts to break through without success;
  • Technical indicators: The MACD indicator is still fluctuating above the zero line, and the RSI (Relative Strength Index) remains in the 50–60 range, indicating that the market is in a consolidation phase.

If Bitcoin falls below 104k, it may test the psychological level of 100k in the short term; conversely, if it can break through 107k with volume, it may restart the upward channel and challenge the previous high of 110k.

4. Market Outlook and Recommendations

Under the multiple backdrop of unresolved geopolitical risks in the Middle East and the approaching Federal Reserve interest rate decision, the market still carries uncertainty, and novice investors should respond rationally.

1. Pay attention to changes in external variables:

  • Geopolitical conflict development: If the situation further escalates, it will directly impact market risk appetite, and funds may flow back to traditional safe-haven assets like gold;
  • Federal Reserve Policy Direction: The U.S. CPI data to be released at the end of June and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate meeting will become the market focus. If a “continued tightening” signal is released, it may suppress Bitcoin’s upward momentum.

2. Beginner Investment Advice:

  • Light position operation: It is recommended to control the total investment position between 5-10%, and never blindly pursue high positions with a full load;
  • Set stop loss and take profit: In the current volatile market, it is recommended to set a stop loss near 103k, and to try taking partial profits above 107k.
  • Build positions in batches: You can try to build positions in batches around 104k, using price fluctuations to lower the cost of building positions.

3. Medium to Long-term Outlook:

If Bitcoin can maintain stability above 105k and supported by positive news or inflows of capital, it is expected to trigger a new round of rebound. Historically, each rebound after a geopolitical event hitting bottom often lasts for a considerable duration, providing investors with an opportunity for mid-term positioning.
