Impact of US-Iran Conflict on Crypto

$Strategy(MSTR)$ 

$SharpLink Gaming(SBET)$ 

🇺🇸 Market Backdrop & Geopolitical Drivers

US attack on Iran's nuclear sites has escalated Middle East tensions. History shows that such conflict often sends crude oil higher—benefiting energy-linked equities, while simultaneously disrupting overall risk sentiment.

Crypto reaction: Bitcoin plunged ~3% intraday, with Ethereum down ~9% . Historically, sharp crypto sell-offs, especially tied to macro unrest, spill over into equities tied to crypto exposure, like Strategy (MSTR).

🔍 $MSTR (Strategy)

Strong correlation with BTC (~1.5× leverage historically) . With Bitcoin down ~3%, further pressure on MSTR is likely, though BTC recently rebounded from its intraday low—suggesting limited downside ahead.

Chart pattern: Analysts on TradingView flagged a 'cup‑and‑handle' developing, with a breakout target near the Fibonacci extension—if BTC holds above $100K, **MSTR could surge 10–15%**.

Prediction: Expect short-term dip to ~$350–360 if BTC retests lower range. If BTC stabilizes near $102K—$105K, MSTR could bounce back toward $400+ by mid-week.

🎮 $SBET (SharpLink Gaming)

Mixed signals: June seasonality yields only ~44% chance of gains , and technicals show near-term forecast to dip ~5% to $9.30.

Volatility snapshot: Over the past two weeks, SBET dropped ~76%, vs. SPY's modest decline—though 3‑month return remains strong (+164%).

Support/ resistance: Near-term support stands at $7.50, resistance capping at ~$12.50.

Prediction: Likely suffer short-term pullback toward $9.30–$9.50. If oil/geo concerns deepen, risk could extend to the lower $8s, but July seasonality points to a bounce later next week or early July.

💼 Tactical Takeaways

MSTR: Consider a staggered entry—scale in near $355–360, targeting the $400–420 zone if BTC shows stability.

SBET: A smaller tactical position near $9.40, with tight stop losses below $9.00; risk/reward favors holding into late July seasonality rally.

Macro overlay: Keep an eye on oil price action—further upside there could buoy SBET, while a broader risk-off retreat would weigh on both crypto-linked names.

🔮 What to Watch

Oil prices: A sustained rally above $80/barrel could boost SBET.

Crypto bounce: Bitcoin reclaiming $105K would support MSTR rally.

Escalation in Mideast conflict: could tip both names lower alongside broader risk assets.

Final word: Next week's fate of $MSTR and $SBET hinges on whether crypto stabilizes post‑geopolitical shock, and how oil reacts. If BTC holds near the lower $100K band and oil remains elevated but calm, expect MSTR rebound → $400+, and SBET recover into $10–11 zone. But a deepening conflict could keep both under pressure.

    This stock is perpetually rangebound because of all of the leverage and dilution. It won't matter much what Bitcoin does, absent an absolutely historic surge.
