<h5><strong>Where Will We Be in the Short Term?</strong></h5> 
<p>In the annals of <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a>, October has traditionally emerged as a robust month for the crypto market, affectionately dubbed “Uptober.” Despite the understanding that historical patterns don’t uniformly replicate, the reassurance derived from such trends persists. However, the ongoing Israel-Hamas War looms as a potential significant disruptor.</p>

<p>Currently, Bitcoin is in a bullish phase, hovering just above $30,000. This movement follows the dissemination of inaccurate information regarding the SEC greenlighting the first <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=bitcoin+etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin spot ETF</a>. The false report initially fueled a surge in the markets early on Monday (16th October). But as the truth unfolded, it triggered a downturn in Bitcoin’s value. However, Bitcoin and the whole crypto market bounced back to 30k in no time!</p> 
<h5><strong>Why Did The Market Rise And Fall?</strong></h5> 
<p>Earlier Monday, 16th October, Bitcoin experienced a rapid surge, approaching the $30,000 mark. The catalyst was a tweet from Cointelegraph, a crypto news site, claiming the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. This misinformation led to over $100 million in liquidations within mere hours.</p> 
<p>Contrary to the initial claim, a check on the SEC website reveals no approvals for a spot Bitcoin ETF. Bloomberg also reports that BlackRock’s application is still under review.</p> 
<p>So, <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=blackrock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BlackRock</a> and other reliable sources also promptly refuted the claim, revealing it as false. Cointelegraph later apologized for the tweet, acknowledging its role in disseminating inaccurate information.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">We apologize for a tweet that led to the dissemination of inaccurate information regarding the Blackrock Bitcoin ETF. </p>

<p>But now we know that the Spot ETF news is around the corner, and what to expect from it.</p> 
<h5><strong>Price Fallout and Market Skepticism</strong></h5> 
<p>Despite the Cointelegraph deleting the false post after nearly 30 minutes, its impact lingered. Bitcoin’s value retreated from $30,000 to $28,000, following skepticism among analysts and reporters regarding the misleading information.</p> 
<p>CoinGlass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> unveils the aftermath, with $81 million worth of short positions and $31 million in longs liquidated during the move to $30,000. The correction significantly impacted traders, with 39,106 facing liquidation in the past 24 hours, amounting to a total of $186.62 million.</p>

<h5><strong>Positives: </strong><strong>Surging On-Chain Activity</strong></h5> 
<p>Recent on-chain data signals a surge in bitcoin holdings among long-term investors, reaching record levels. Simultaneously, Ethereum experienced a notable drop in gas usage, accelerating Ether inflation.</p> 
<p>Bitcoin’s dominance in the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has expanded, accompanied by gains relative to ether.</p>

<h5><strong>Negatives: </strong><strong>Impact of U.S. Inflation Data and Geopolitical Tensions on Markets</strong></h5> 
<p>Last week, U.S. inflation figures stirred market volatility, causing a notable reaction despite the numbers slightly exceeding expectations. The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered a 3.7% year-over-year increase, just above the anticipated 3.6%.</p> 
<p>The primary driver behind this uptick remains housing costs, while the core CPI, excluding housing, maintains a level below 3%. The heightened market response to the CPI data suggests mounting concerns amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.</p> 
<p>Stocks experienced an upward trend, with the S&amp;P 500 closing up by 1%, while bond prices declined. This shift occurred as diplomatic efforts intensified to prevent the Israel-Hamas conflict from escalating into a regional crisis.</p>

<h5><strong>The Dominant Concern: Impact of the Israel Conflict on Global Dynamics</strong></h5> 
<p>The overarching concern currently overshadowing other macro factors, such as interest rates and GDP, is the ongoing war in Israel. This macroscopic element holds a weightiness that surpasses the rest due to its potential to influence various aspects profoundly.</p> 
<p>At a macro level, an escalation in the conflict could disrupt the oil and gas supply chains, leading to a surge in inflation.</p>

<h5><strong>Media Narratives</strong></h5> 
<p>In the context of the crypto factor within this geopolitical turmoil, mainstream media has already presented <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/militants-behind-israel-attack-raised-millions-in-crypto-b9134b7a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">narratives</a> on how different entities purportedly used cryptocurrencies to fund Hamas.</p> 
<p>If the conflict intensifies, involving additional militant groups, it wouldn’t be unexpected to witness similar narratives implicating crypto in financing those groups. Such a scenario could trigger sanctions against prominent crypto entities.</p> 
<h5><strong>Regulatory Repercussions</strong></h5> 
<p>Sanctions are not the sole concern; recent actions by countries like Pakistan and Kuwait, which <a href="https://www.arabianbusiness.com/money/wealth/alternative-assets/kuwait-bans-cryptocurrency-and-virtual-assets-transactions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> crypto under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) ‘s directive, set a precedent.</p> 
<p>Other Middle Eastern nations might find themselves compelled to take similar measures in light of recent revelations. Notably, the UAE is already in a precarious position with the FATF, having been greylisted early last year.</p>

<h5><strong>Reversal of Pro-Crypto Trends</strong></h5> 
<p>This potential chain of events could effectively reverse the pro-crypto trajectory observed in the Middle East.</p> 
<p>Several Gulf countries have actively sought to establish themselves as crypto hubs, with even Saudi Arabia <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-04/saudi-central-bank-hires-crypto-chief-to-boost-digital-ambitions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exploring</a> crypto regulations. Abandoning these ambitions could inflict substantial harm on the crypto industry.</p> 
<p>Let’s hope such a scenario does not come to pass.</p>
