Bitcoin and Ether Buyers did not cope well

Bitcoin recovered to around $61,500 during the European session on Wednesday morning after falling to $60,300 on Tuesday evening. This drop followed the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which dashed hopes for a steady rally in what is commonly the most optimistic month for the crypto asset.

Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, threatening another round of attacks, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate. The news caused the risky assets, including cryptocurrencies, to plummet. BTC slumped, while gold surged. The flagship cryptocurrency printed a one-day drop of almost 6% at one point. This marked the worst start to what has historically been the best month for Bitcoin, with only two bearish Octobers in the past 11 years. If Israel responds to Iran's attacks by the end of the week, the risk asset market, including Bitcoin and Ether, is likely to extend its weakness. However, in the medium term, this is a good moment to build long positions in anticipation of recovery by the end of the year. Regarding the intraday strategy on the cryptocurrency market, I will plan my market entries based on any significant drops in Bitcoin and Ether. I expect the bull market to continue in the medium term.

The strategy and conditions are outlined below for short-term trading.
