The Bitcoin price recorded a 3% increase on March 10, 2026, reaching 71,255 dollars according to the technical report from Kaiko. This recovery occurs following Donald Trump’s statements regarding the conflict in Iran and the release of the Federal Reserve’s meeting calendar for the current year.
The digital asset market shows remarkable resilience in the face of the bellicose rhetoric coming from the White House. The price of Brent crude has fluctuated drastically from 62 dollars to nearly 120 dollars in previous sessions. However, the stability at 71,000 dollars suggests that investors are absorbing geopolitical risk with greater maturity than before.
Geopolitical uncertainty in the Strait of Hormuz redefines market volatility
Compared to the start of the conflict in Ukraine in 2022, Bitcoin has stopped reacting with immediate panic selling. The institutional maturation of this cryptocurrency allows the asset to act as an alternative store of value in the face of energy instability. Capital flow into ETFs seems to be sustaining technical support despite the current aggressive rhetoric.
Through his profile on the Truth Social platform, the president warned of military retaliation if global oil flow is interrupted. This direct and volatile communication creates an atmosphere of caution among major Wall Street traders.

The proximity of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on March 18 adds a layer of technical complexity.

The probabilities of a cut have almost completely disappeared within the last twenty-four hours.
Will restrictive monetary policy be able to stop the digital asset’s progress?
Data from the CME FedWatch Tool confirms that the chances of a rate reduction are a mere 0.6%. Despite this tight liquidity environment, the Bitcoin price in March 2026 demonstrates a partial decoupling from traditional equity markets. The digital gold narrative strengthens when United States fiscal policy faces significant structural challenges.
Derivatives analysis shows that futures contracts are trading with a positive premium, indicating a sense of moderate optimism. Accumulation by large whales in the 70,000 dollar range acts as a barrier against an immediate market capitulation. Although the volatility of last January seems to have subsided, the market remains a speculative battlefield for traders.
Towards the end of the quarter, investors must monitor both the military deployment in the Middle East and underlying inflation indicators. Bitcoin’s ability to maintain its psychological support above 70,000 dollars will be vital for future expansion. Monitoring global liquidity levels and FOMC decisions will set the pace for the market this spring.
