How did the attack on Venezuela actually affect crypto and the stock market?
Over the weekend I mentioned that events once again followed the classic pattern: negative headlines appear while traditional markets are closed and mostly fade away by the time they reopen.
Now we can look at the real market reaction.
Stock futures are up.
Crypto is recovering as well: Bitcoin is already trading around 94К, and altcoins have posted an average gain of roughly 15–20% over the past few days.
We saw the exact same setup on June 22, 2025, when the market completely ignored the attack on Iran. That moment ended up being a turning point.
After that, equities went on to make new highs and gained tens of percent.
Crypto followed with a delay, leading to a strong move in July–August.
Right now, I’m seeing the market behave irrationally again in a good way. It’s simply not reacting to clearly negative news. For me, that’s a strong signal that the recovery can continue and another reminder of why trading headlines usually doesn’t work.
On a local level, many altcoins have already attempted initial impulse moves. In some places, short-term pullbacks make sense, but any dip right now looks more like a pause than the end of the move.
