Top 3 Bitcoin triggers for the next few weeks
Last Updated on 9 March 2026 by CryptoTips.eu
Where is Bitcoin headed in the coming days and weeks? That’s difficult to predict and depends on geopolitical circumstances, the direction of fiat currencies and (especially) the price of oil. Here are the top three possible triggers for the Bitcoin price in the coming weeks. Note that the biggest possible trigger of all is rising inflation, but whether that happens will only become clear in a few weeks’ time.
Expansion Iran war
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Iran’s neighbours this weekend. It remains to be seen whether this will alleviate the regional conflict somewhat. In any case, a potential escalation of the conflict (Russia is helping Iran with satellite imagery and the like) would have a disastrous impact on the stock markets (and more than likely on crypto prices as well).
Rising oil prices
The rising oil price could wipe out all the annual gains for stocks in one big swoop.
Suppose it rises sharply again (according to Goldman Sachs, $150 per barrel by the end of March is not an illusion), investors will err on the side of caution and head for safe havens. After all, when oil rises, the production costs of many materials also rise, leading to price increases and inflation.
It's the weekend and the TradExchanges' computers must caddy for their humans on the golf course. But @HyperliquidX is always open for trading.

Bitcoin was seen as a “safe haven” last week, but it’s uncertain whether that’s the case here as well. An oil price rally is normally bad news for just about anything.
Gold and the US dollar
Gold closed negative on a weekly basis for the first time in five weeks. This seems odd, considering the precious metal is the ultimate safe haven, but it was heavily influenced by the rising dollar. This dollar squeeze, which is linked to rising oil prices, could swing in any direction starting next week.
In any case, there are numerous factors that could influence both markets and the price of Bitcoin in the coming days.
