Sunday, February 1, 2026. The market is incredibly volatile right now because of the collision between the "Sunday Crash" and the latest military signals from the Middle East.
1. Bitcoin (BTC) Real-Time Data: 76,812 usdt
As of 11:50 AM today, Bitcoin has broken below the $78k support you mentioned and is currently trading at 76,812usdt (down roughly 5% in the last 12 hours).
24h High: $84,356
24h Low: $75,644 (hit earlier this morning)
Context: We are seeing a "deleveraging event." Since failing to hold $82,500, the price moved through thin liquidity very quickly. Technical resistance has now dropped to the 80,700 usdt level (the realized market value).
2. Geopolitical Reality: The "Two-Day Window"
The reason for the specific $76k–$75k wick this morning is the Strait of Hormuz.
Live Event: Today (Feb 1), the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) officially began a two-day live-fire naval exercise.
The U.S. Response: President Trump confirmed just hours ago (late Saturday night/early Sunday morning) that the "Armada"—which he says is larger than the one used for the Venezuela operation—is in position. He explicitly stated: "The plan is that they’re talking to us... otherwise, we’ll see what happens."
The "Hedge" failure: Normally, you’d want BTC to rise during war talk. However, today it is dropping with the stock futures while Gold is holding steady. This suggests the market is currently viewing BTC as a "liquidity source" (people selling what they can to get cash) rather than a safe haven.
3. Specific Forecast if Strikes Begin
If the current naval drills lead to an accidental "kinetic" event in the next 24 hours:
Immediate BTC Target: 65,000–70,000 usdt. There is a massive "liquidity gap" below $75k. If that breaks, the next major historical support isn't until the mid-60s.
Altcoin Specifics: ETH is currently struggling at $2,400. A war breakout would likely push it toward 1,800 usdt within days as investors flee to "purer" assets.
The "War Premia": The only thing that would stop the crash is if Iran follows through on its threat to "collapse the US economy" by spiking oil prices. If oil hits $100/bbl this week, the inflation narrative returns, which eventually helps Bitcoin—but only after the initial 20% panic drop.
Summary: The market is currently "pricing in" a roughly 60% chance of conflict. If you are watching the charts today, keep a close eye on the 75,600 usdt level. If we break that low again this afternoon, the "War Panic" is officially the dominant driver.
