QCP: Crypto Market Shrugs Off Iran Escalation Risk, But Sustainability of Latest Rally Still Uncertain
April 6 — QCP Capital’s latest analysis notes that President Trump has again delayed a decision on Iran-related action until Tuesday, marking the fourth such postponement. Markets are increasingly immune to the recurring “tough stance followed by negotiation signals” dynamic, with diminished expectations of risk escalation leading to a pullback in oil prices and steady stock index futures.
Overall, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, cryptocurrency prices have stabilized rather than come under pressure. On the funding front, institutional capital continues to support markets: Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of ~$1.32 billion in March. The market is currently in a “risk-on” mode overall, with investors not fully positioned for a near-term escalation in conflict. However, as U.S. markets prepare to reopen, the sustainability of this latest rebound remains uncertain.

Event: Rate Cut Expectation Cooling, Middle East Conflict Resolution Expectation, or Limiting Gold Price Upside
April 6 – Daniel Takieddine, CEO of Sky Links Capital, said Saturday that gold’s upside potential may be limited as market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts fade.
Strong U.S. labor data has lifted Treasury yields, pressuring gold prices. Ongoing diplomatic efforts have boosted hopes for a potential Middle East conflict resolution, adding further uncertainty to the gold outlook.
That said, geopolitical risks outside the Middle East and continued central bank gold purchases continue to support gold prices. Takieddine noted the metal’s short-term trajectory will hinge on upcoming U.S. economic data, Fed policy signals, and geopolitical developments.

Iran Calls U.S. Threat to Strike Iranian Infrastructure a "War Crime"
April 6 – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh slammed U.S. threats against Iranian infrastructure as a "war crime" and warned any country aiding Washington would face legal accountability.
"Undoubtedly, just making such threats is itself a war crime," he said, noting the U.S. simultaneously talks about targeting "energy and industrial infrastructure" while giving Israel "the green light to attack civilian targets."
He stressed these actions qualify as war crimes under international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. "All countries must recognize: any cooperation or assistance provided to the U.S. during the commission of its crimes will be held accountable as war crimes and crimes against humanity."
