Again politics, again the Middle East threatens the crypto market - a helicopter carrying the President of Iran fell. Even if he is alive or dead, if the country’s authorities blame external forces for this incident (the probability is not great, but anything is possible), this threatens a new wave of escalation at least in the region, and maybe beyond its borders.
The daily BTC candle looks bearish today, but the fight for the $67,088 volume level continues. And as long as the price of the asset is above the EMA of the 50 day TF (currently $63,870), there is no point in thinking about the end of the growth.#BTCand altcoins are declining due to all this news about Iran 👇.
The Mi-171 helicopter, with Iranian President Raisi on board, crashed, Iranian media reported. According to other sources, he “made a hard landing” due to fog in the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan. Near the village of Ozi, located in the forests of Arsbaran.#Tasnimagency writes that there were three helicopters in the convoy, two of them arrived at their destination, the third with Iranian President Raisi crashed. The agency reports that the crew made contact on their own and “there is a possibility that there were no casualties”:
“Given the phone call from one of the president’s associates to the center after the accident, there is great hope for a non-fatal outcome of the incident.”
A number of local media outlets are disseminating information that Raisi is already traveling with a motorcade to the nearest city of Tabriz. But there is no evidence of this. Rescue teams are trying to reach the scene.
#Reuters, meanwhile, writes that the life of the Iranian Foreign Minister is under threat after a helicopter accident, quoting the official:
“We still hope for the best, but the information coming from the scene of the disaster is worrying.”
Bad weather greatly complicates rescue efforts. Iranian State Television has stopped all programs and calls for prayers for Raisi. Earlier today they showed footage of the president flying in that same helicopter.
