Gate News reports that on March 20, the US dollar surged significantly in global markets, with prices approaching the 99.50 level. This rise was driven by two main factors: firstly, the Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish stance (referring to a tendency toward rate hikes or sustaining high interest rates to control inflation), and secondly, continued geopolitical tensions in the Middle East region.

In the context of escalating conflicts between the United States, Israel, and Iran, traditional safe-haven assets such as gold and Bitcoin are facing dual pressures. Rising oil prices are pushing up inflation expectations, delaying Federal Reserve rate cuts and reducing gold's appeal; meanwhile, Bitcoin is experiencing price declines due to tightening macro liquidity. Despite continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, elevated oil prices and tight monetary policies may continue to suppress the performance of both asset classes in the short term.

On March 20, the Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged, and Bitcoin's price quickly fell back to around $70,000, with a decline close to 5%. Market risk appetite cooled, and Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other assets also came under pressure, demonstrating the impact of macro factors on the crypto market. Analysts pointed out that Bitcoin trading will depend on selective capital flows, and higher interest rates combined with geopolitical risks may cause it to maintain a weak and volatile pattern in the short term.
