Bitunix analyst: US military strikes Venezuela's drug ship again, geopolitical risks heat up, BTC faces 117K pressure test

According to BlockBeats, on September 16, the US military launched a strike on a second ship suspected of carrying drugs from Venezuela in international waters. Trump publicly announced the operation and said that it had killed several suspects. The move immediately exacerbated geopolitical tensions in Latin America, and internationally and domestically questioned the risk of legitimacy and escalation. In the short term, rising political risks will increase market volatility, and capital fluctuates frequently between risky assets and safe-haven assets. In the crypto market, 117,000 above BTC is a significant liquidity and liquidation concentration zone, which constitutes the main pressure in the near future; the primary support below falls at 114,000, and the secondary support at 111,000. If it is lost, it may quickly pull back to 108,000–109,000 liquidity zone. When geopolitical risks lead to market sentiment differences, short-term fluctuations are often amplified in areas with dense liquidation. Pay attention to false breakthroughs triggered by breaking news or rapid declines. Bitunix analysts suggest that geopolitical emergencies increase uncertainty and are a source of negative fluctuations in the short term, but if the incident does not expand into regional wars, the impact will mostly be liquidity shocks rather than sustained fundamental deterioration. Risk aversion sentiment may flow into the US dollar and US bonds will fight risky assets, and investors should pay attention to the risks of subsequent international responses and escalation of sanctions. Pay attention to BTC 117,000–118,000 pressure bands and 114,000 and 111,000 support; it is recommended to reduce leverage and control single exposure when events suddenly change.
