Garrett Jin, agent of “1011 Insider Whale,” published an analysis stating that the U.S. government announced a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, effective 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 13, prohibiting all vessels from entering or departing Iranian ports. This measure aims to cut off Iran’s oil revenue derived from this energy hub and reverse its current economic advantage in the ongoing conflict. Over the past six weeks, Iran has levied steep fees on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and restricted energy exports for certain countries, triggering significant volatility in both cryptocurrency markets and global oil prices. The U.S. action is expected to impact market risk pricing for major crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analysis notes that although the U.S. holds the initiative, Iran may continue exporting oil by escalating the conflict, relying on Chinese support, and utilizing decentralized gray markets—meaning war risks and market volatility will persist.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on X, stating that the current U.S. inflation structure has gradually become clearer. Although the March CPI recorded the largest month-on-month increase since 2022, core CPI remained largely unchanged, indicating that inflationary pressures have not yet broadly diffused. This trend warrants continued monitoring in upcoming PCE data and over the coming months. So long as this structure persists, it suggests inflation has not yet become systematically embedded in the U.S. economy—instead remaining a temporary phenomenon, potentially linked to geopolitical conflicts. However, if the U.S.-Iran conflict drags on, inflation could gradually evolve into a systemic risk and begin impacting economic growth, at which point the Federal Reserve may be forced to continue raising interest rates.
Visser stated, “If Bitcoin’s trading price breaks above $76,000 and Ethereum breaks above $2,400, I believe that would mark the beginning of a sustainable rally this year, as I don’t think we’ll enter a recession.” At press time, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $71,646—about a 6.1% increase away from $76,000—while Ethereum was trading at approximately $2,215—about an 8% increase away from $2,400.

According to CoinDesk, against the backdrop of the ongoing U.S.-Iran geopolitical conflict—now lasting approximately six weeks—the Bitcoin market is clearly bifurcating into two camps: “passive buyers,” represented by Strategy and spot ETFs, continue accumulating BTC, while whales, mining companies, and certain sovereign holders are shifting toward selling. The selling pressure is evident: whale addresses holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have shifted from net buying to substantial net selling, with their year-to-date holdings changing from roughly +200,000 BTC to –188,000 BTC; publicly listed mining firms, under mounting cost pressures, have also concentrated their selling—offloading over 19,000 BTC in a single week. Additionally, sovereign holders such as Bhutan have sold approximately 70% of their Bitcoin reserves since October 2024. Analysis suggests that although market sentiment briefly plunged into the “extreme fear” zone, Bitcoin’s price has remained range-bound between $65,000 and $73,000, indicating that this “floor” is primarily propped up by a narrow base of institutional buying. Currently, the buyer base continues to contract, and the market’s next directional move will hinge on whether institutional inflows can sustain momentum and break through key resistance levels.
