The recent international situation has indeed made market sentiment somewhat tense. The US security warning combined with the USD to IRR exchange rate breaking through the extreme level of 1:1000055, with the IRR devaluation being so severe that many crypto investors are reminded of the rapid collapse of certain air projects. Currently, market risk appetite has clearly declined, and many are contemplating whether to cut losses in time.



But before analyzing this issue, it is necessary to understand a fundamental logic: geopolitical conflicts often act as amplifiers of financial market emotions, with a particularly direct impact on crypto assets. This stems from a simple fact—cryptocurrency assets are still classified by the mainstream as high-risk asset categories. When geopolitical risks escalate, the instinctive reaction of capital is to seek safety, either flowing back into traditional safe havens like the US dollar and gold or exiting the market altogether to wait for clarity. This process inevitably triggers a sharp increase in short-term volatility in the crypto market.

However, a key variable in this round cannot be ignored: the influence of macro political cycles. From the US political schedule, the performance of the economy and capital markets often becomes the ruling party’s biggest bargaining chip. Market stability has a direct impact on the political agenda—if the market experiences a significant decline at critical moments, voter confidence will be damaged, thereby affecting the ruling party’s political prospects.

From another perspective, the current expansion of risk exposure can be better understood not as pure panic, but as a rational release of market pressure. In this context, anxiety may be merely a short-term phenomenon rather than a signal of a long-term trend.

The Riyal is plunging so much, how come our crypto market hasn't collapsed yet, lol --- I respect the political cycle move, Americans still have to protect their own interests --- Short-term pressure is released, but in the long run, it’s still going to fall, this logic sounds like self-soothing --- Safe-haven funds flowing back into USD and gold, we just have to get cut, so tragic --- The key is that retail investors can't see through this set of political economics, they only know to cut losses or buy the dip, really tough --- But think about it differently, could a big drop actually be a buying opportunity? As long as there's still ammo in the wallet --- I agree that geopolitical conflicts act as amplifiers, but who can accurately time the market? It’s still a gamble

The Riyal crashing this badly is really incredible, even more brutal than some coins. The political cycle logic is a bit too naive; can the US really protect the crypto market just because they want to support it? Short-term panic is an opportunity. Stop thinking about stop-loss all day; it's time to buy the dip. When geopolitical conflicts arise, capital outflows are inevitable. How can that be rational pressure release... Honestly, it's just waiting for the Federal Reserve's statement; any guesses now are pointless.

The recent drop of the Riyal is indeed fierce, but crypto people have seen this kind of scene long ago, right? Wait, why do I feel that the logic of the political cycle is a bit far-fetched? Short-term volatility releases pressure? Then what about our principal, haha? Actually, it's still the same old story: don't act in panic, wait until market sentiment recovers before making moves. Dollar and gold are bleeding, that's the truth, but crypto is inherently a game of betting on national fortune. Stop-loss is bullshit; understanding your risk tolerance is more important than anything else. Geopolitical situations can change at any moment. Instead of pondering, it's better to look at several data indicators. Short-term anxiety? Why do I feel this round can cause anxiety into the next quarter? Crypto world is like this—either get rich quickly or get wiped out; there's no middle ground. Releasing pressure sounds pretty comfortable, but in reality, it's just an excuse to cut the leeks.

Again and again, geopolitical tensions, and again and again, talking about bottom opportunities—so exhausting. --- The speed at which the Riyal has been halved is truly unsustainable, even more ruthless than some trash coins. --- It all still depends on the attitude of American politicians; retail investors really need to wake up. --- Short-term pressure relief? I think it's just a trick to get us to buy the dip. --- This wave is indeed fierce, but I bet the political cycle will support the market; the more it dips, the more I buy in the opposite direction. --- A bunch of macro analyses, but it's better to look at the exchange cold wallet flows. --- Anxiety in the short term, opportunity in the long term—basically, it's telling us not to cut losses.

The recent drop in the Riyal is really incredible, just like some altcoins... Wait, is the logic saying that political cycles will support the market? Then go all in? Honestly, it's still betting that the government won't let the market collapse. That's interesting. But I've heard this kind of short-term fluctuation argument too many times. Every time they say short-term, and then what... Really want to know how many people can hold out until the "long-term."
