$ALEO Gate News reported on March 22 that Bitcoin declined sharply over the weekend following Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran threatening to strike power facilities, breaking below the $69,200 mark with a 24-hour decline of approximately 2.2% and a weekly decline expanding to 3.1%. Dragged down by market sentiment, mainstream crypto assets weakened in tandem: Ethereum fell to approximately $2,114, while XRP, BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin all recorded varying degrees of decline. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged this week, and its dovish stance should have supported risk assets, but continuous geopolitical risk messages prevented traders from making significant one-sided bets. The previous week's rally driven by ceasefire expectations rapidly reversed over the weekend. Should Iran fail to restore passage through the Strait of Hormuz within the deadline, the conflict could further escalate to the energy infrastructure level, compounded by disruptions to approximately 20% of global oil and natural gas transportation.
