Investment sentiment across risk assets has sharply contracted as concerns over the paralysis of the global crude oil supply chain became a reality, with traffic in the Strait of Hormuz collapsing by 99% within a week of the war. Consequently, Tether Dominance (USDT.D), an indicator of safe-haven sentiment, rebounded from 7.5% yesterday to 7.7% today, exerting downward pressure on the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin (BTC) showed a short-term correction trend, falling about 3% from the previous day's high. As of 4 p.m. on the 26th, Bitcoin is trading at $70,097 (KRW 105,418,878), and whether the $70,000 support level holds is acting as a key variable for maintaining the short-term trend.

Ethereum (ETH) also showed weakness, falling to the low $2,100 range. As of the same time, Ethereum is trading at $2,122 (approximately 3.19 million KRW), and whether the $2,100 support level is defended is considered a critical point.

XRP has shown relatively greater weakness and has broken below the key support level of $1.4. It is currently trading at $1.38 (KRW 2,076), and whether it recovers from this level is expected to be a turning point that determines whether it will fall further or rebound.

The market views the combination of crude oil supply chain risks and geopolitical uncertainty as having intensified the trend of risk avoidance in the short term. It is projected that whether Tether dominance rises further, along with the alleviation of geopolitical risks, will act as key variables determining the future direction of the cryptocurrency market.
