    FGE Expert Predicts Increased Risk of New US Strikes Against Iran

    FGE NexantECA expert Ferhad Fesharakhi, in an interview with Bloomberg, warns that despite the near-zero export of Iranian oil through American maritime blockades, the risk of new US strikes against Iran remains high. Fesharakhi suggests that after the Republican Party's defeat in recent US midterm elections, the Iranian government may view President Donald Trump as politically weakened. This could affect Iran's position during negotiations, as Iran is demanding terms that the White House is unlikely to accept. The expert also notes that the sides are still far from the agreements reached in May, including the nuclear deal. Fesharakhi does not rule out the possibility of new US and Israeli strikes against Iran, citing limited time for approval of relevant decisions for both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Bitcoin Breakdown Targets $57,800

    Bitcoin is approaching a critical support level around $75,500, which is now the key battleground for buyers and sellers. A weekly close below this level confirms a bearish breakdown and opens the door to further downside toward $57,800. The chart identifies $57,800 as a major liquidity level and the next downside target, representing a potential decline of 23.4%. Bitcoin is currently trading around $75,507, having failed to extend its recovery toward $87,000 since reaching its previous cycle high above $120,000 in 2025. The resistance zone at $81,178 remains a significant obstacle, and Bitcoin has faced rejection at this level, highlighting persistent selling pressure. The chart also shows Bitcoin trading below its marked 12-month high of $108,353, while its 12-month low stands at $38,555.
