January 4 – Per Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency analysts say Bitcoin is unlikely to see a significant price drop in the coming days following the U.S. strike on Venezuela, despite the asset’s historical volatility amid geopolitical tensions. Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, tweeted on X Saturday: “I don’t think the Venezuela strike will trigger a major Bitcoin pullback.” The outlet noted the U.S. strike occurred around 2 p.m. Beijing time Saturday afternoon and lasted roughly 30 minutes. Van de Poppe said the event won’t directly impact Bitcoin’s price because it was a “planned, coordinated action” and “already concluded,” adding the likelihood of further negative market reaction is “relatively low.”
