His comments quickly triggered volatility in the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second time in recent days that Trump has made similar remarks. Earlier in the week he claimed that the war was nearly finished. However, several officials and even allies such as Israel have not supported that view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports shared by Walter Bloomberg indicate that the United States and Israel are preparing for at least two more weeks of strikes. Tensions increased further after reports emerged that Iran had placed naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US forces have reportedly destroyed at least 16 vessels believed to be laying mines in the region. Officials added that it remains unclear how many mines Iran may have deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Trump\u2019s comments circulated online, Bitcoin was trading near 69,200 dollars. The price quickly jumped by nearly 2,000 dollars, briefly reaching about 71,100 dollars before pulling back. At the time of reporting, the cryptocurrency remained above the 70,000 dollar level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor that may have influenced market movement is the release of the February Consumer Price Index data in the United States. The inflation figures met expectations, though Bitcoin showed little reaction during the first ninety minutes after the report was published. This suggests that Trump\u2019s comments about the conflict likely played a larger role in the latest price volatility.#crypto #cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin experienced sharp price swings around the 70,000 dollar level after remarks from Donald Trump about the escalating tensions in the Middle East circulated widely on&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1430"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1432,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1430\/revisions\/1432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
