Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) is unlikely to face a sharp sell-off following the US military strike on Venezuela, according to market analysts monitoring geopolitical risk.
Analysts said the attack does not appear to pose an immediate threat to broader financial markets or crypto sentiment.
Bitcoin has historically reacted to geopolitical shocks, but recent price behaviour suggests resilience rather than panic.
I don't think we'll see a widespread correction based on the attack in Venezuela on Bitcoin.
Michael van de Poppe said.
Van de Poppe added that the strike was “planned and coordinated” and that the event had effectively already been absorbed by the market.
He said the likelihood of sustained negative market reaction linked to the incident remained relatively low.
The US strike on Venezuela reportedly began at around 6:00 a.m. UTC on Saturday and lasted approximately 30 minutes.
Bitcoin’s price showed limited reaction in the hours following the reports of military action.
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin rose around 1.6% and moved back above the $90,000 level.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading close to $91,300, according to market data.
Liquidations totalled more than $60 million in Bitcoin leveraged positions during the same period.
Short positions accounted for the majority of liquidations, suggesting bearish bets were unwound as prices held steady.
Bitcoin has previously shown vulnerability during periods of heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
Recent conflicts involving Iran and Israel, as well as Russia and Ukraine, have triggered short-term price drops in the past.
In June 2025, Bitcoin fell nearly 3% within 90 minutes following reports of explosions in Tehran.
That decline occurred before prices stabilised, reinforcing Bitcoin’s pattern of short-term volatility during breaking news.
Analysts noted that market reactions tend to worsen when traders expect further escalation.
Generally the market really nukes when we expect things to get worse afterwards which doesn't seem to be the case.
Tyler Hill said.
Hill added that the situation could even be interpreted as a show of market strength.
Could see this actually bring some green to the market as people take this as a sign of strength though.
Hill added.
Another analyst, Shagun Makin, pointed to Bitcoin’s ability to hold above key psychological levels.
Bitcoin has proven it can stay firm despite geopolitical noise.
Makin said.
Makin added that holding above $90,000 continues to reinforce confidence among traders.
Market participants are now watching for any signs of escalation that could alter risk sentiment.
Analysts said that unless tensions intensify, Bitcoin is likely to remain range-bound rather than sharply corrective.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $91,106.47.
