Bitcoin was stuck with the support of 105k: Middle East Tension and Fed Statements Drawn Altcoins
Bitcoin completed the week horizontally in the $ 105,000 band. Military tensions in the Middle East and the FED's inflation warnings led investors to reduce subcoin positions. Although the Stablecoin law supported by Trump increased some stocks, there was no confidence in the market. In order to determine the direction in the crypto market, both geopolitical and macroeconomic clarity are required.
Bitcoin is traded at $ 105.124 with a decrease of 0.3 %as of the morning of June 19. BTC, which has been stuck in the range of 103,000 - $ 108,000 for the last week, is forced to find direction in the shadow of geopolitical blood pressure and macroeconomic uncertainties.

🌍 Geopolitical Risk: The possibility of the US-Iran conflict is on the agenda
According to Bloomberg, US officials evaluate the possibility of military intervention in Iran in the coming days. Although there is no certainty in the news, this information caused a harsh “Risk escape” reaction in the market.
Tehran repeatedly warned that the United States is not involved in the conflict.
The fact that Trump did not take a clear stance on direct participation increased geopolitical uncertainty.
🏦 FED uncertainty: interest rate reduction expectations have been postponed
The US Federal Bank (FED) left its interest rates at the range of 4.25–4.5 %at its meeting this week. However, President Jerome Powell’s statements created a new wave of pressure on the market.
Powell’s Messages:
For 2025, two interest rate reduction expectations are maintained,
Interest discount projection for 2026 was reduced,
Trump’s new tariffs suggested that the inflation could increase inflation.
“We will proceed based on data. However, the interest rate reduction does not seem possible without seeing further evidence.” - Jerome Powell
The fact that the Fed’s discourse is a tone that moves away from pigeons caused investors to move away from risky assets and accelerate sales, especially in Altcoins.
🪙 The description of “Genius” from Trump on the Stablecoin Front
Former US President Donald Trump praised the Stablecoin regulation law called Genıus Act, who passed through the Senate, and asked the House of Representatives to pass “quickly and cleanly”.
Orum I want a clean genius Act. Let the Assembly spend it at the speed of light and come to me right away, Tr Trump said on social media.
This description:
Circle (CRCL) triggered more than 30 %rise in shares.
However, it did not have a serious positive effect on the general crypto market.
Stablecoins (USDC, USDT) play a major role in global crypto operations. However, geopolitical uncertainties limited the impact of these positive regulation developments on the market.
📊 The decline in subcoins deepens
The Altcoins maintained the feature of being the first abandoned beings during macro uncertainty.
Majors showing a decrease:
CARDANO (island): -2.7%
Solana (left): -1.5%
Ethereum (ETH): -0.5%
Dogecoin (Doge): -0.3%
$ Trump Token: -1.3%
Although Ethereum recovered at the beginning of the week, Powell’s statements and military tension were influenced by his weekly earnings.
🧠 Investor Strategy: “Escape from Risk” continues
The general tendency of investors is as follows:
Altcoin baskets are emptied,
Transition to Stablecoin and Bitcoin ETFs
Bitcoin offers a “isolated area of stability at 105k, but still does not show a strong safe port reaction.
“Bitcoin is still looking for identity; neither the safe port like gold, nor the leader of the risk appetite, Analyst says Analyst Alex Kugünikevich.
🔮 What is expected?
The main factors that will be decisive in the crypto market in the short term are:
Whether the US will intervene in Iran,
Powell’s attitude towards inflation indicators,
Genius Act’s passing through the House of Representatives,
The movement of dollar index and bond rates.
If the US-Iran tension climbs:
Bitcoin can test 100k gold,
Hard sales between 5–10 %can be seen in subcoins,
Stablecoin domination may increase again.
