With geopolitical tensions rising in the Middle East, how does Bitcoin react to global risk events? And is ‘Uptober’ still on the table? 

October started with hopes for “Uptober”—a positive price trajectory in October—in the Bitcoin community, since, historically, Bitcoin has performed well this month. But things took a turn when geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated, raising concerns about how that could affect Bitcoin’s price this month.
