The cryptocurrency quickly lost around 1,500 dollars within minutes after the news broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, oil markets reacted in the opposite direction. USOIL surged to above 105 dollars, marking its highest level in several weeks and its first return to that range since mid April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price movement followed reports that Donald Trump had been in discussions with American oil companies about extending a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier coverage from The Wall Street Journal indicated that preparations for a prolonged blockade were already underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, Iranian state media warned of possible unprecedented military action if vessels linked to Iran continue to be seized. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a visit to Washington to discuss developments related to the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike oil, Bitcoin reacted negatively to the geopolitical tension, falling from nearly 78,000 dollars to around 76,400 dollars shortly after the reports emerged. The asset has since recovered slightly to near 77,000 dollars, but further volatility is expected as the Federal Reserve concludes its third FOMC meeting of the year.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s push toward 78,000 dollars ahead of the latest Federal Reserve meeting was abruptly stopped following fresh developments tied to the conflict involving Iran.
