- Gold Price Rises 1.18%, Bitcoin Drops 4% - Increased Demand for Safe Assets Gold Due to Middle East Tensions [Unblock Media] The rising tensions in the Middle East are causing a surge in demand for safe assets. The White House has announced that Iran is preparing a ballistic missile attack on Israel. This seems to be in retaliation for the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Israel's ground operations in Lebanon. The United States has pledged to defend Israel. Rhona O’Connell from StoneX analyzed that geopolitical tensions and uncertainties over the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate cut path are major factors driving up gold prices. O’Connell added, "Without these geopolitical factors, gold prices would have fallen to around $2,500 to $2,600." Currently, gold futures finished trading at $2,667.30 per ounce, close to last week’s record high. SPDR Gold Shares also rose by 1.2%. Comex gold futures rose 1.18% to $2,667.30 per ounce. This is the largest daily dollar and percentage rise since September 20, 2024. It also marked the second-highest closing price ever, breaking a two-day losing streak and marking gains in 8 out of the last 10 sessions. This closing price is the second highest of the year, just 0.10% below the 52-week high. Bitcoin is showing a downward trend amid rising Middle East tensions. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin was trading at $60,799 as of 8:30 a.m. on the 2nd, down 4% from the previous day. Ethereum also fell by 5.22%, trading at $2,473. Due to Bitcoin’s highly volatile nature, investors tend to favor tangible assets like gold in times of increased uncertainty, indicating that Bitcoin hasn’t yet achieved the same stability as gold. However, SpotOnChain analyzed that "there is a 69% chance that Bitcoin will reach an all-time high this month, and a 54% chance of reaching $100,000 by year-end." Matrixport also predicts that Bitcoin is likely to rebound from early October. In addition, global blockchain experts argue that although Bitcoin has not yet matured, it has tremendous long-term growth potential. Currently, Bitcoin’s RSI(14) is 43.22, indicating near-oversold conditions, suggesting a possible rebound though not a strong buy signal. SpotOnChain also noted that Bitcoin closed last month up 7.4%, expecting the upward trend to continue in Q4, implying that despite short-term bearishness, there is medium- to long-term upside potential.
