James Lavish, a macro investor and former hedge fund manager, warns that markets are currently pricing in a quick end to the Iran war, which may be overly optimistic. If the conflict drags on, it could cause higher oil prices, inflation shocks, and stagflation fears, forcing difficult Federal Reserve decisions. Bitcoin, which has shown resilience recently, could fall 10-20% in a severe market downturn, possibly dropping to the low $50,000 or high $40,000 range. Despite this, Lavish sees long-term opportunities in Bitcoin and advises investors to avoid extreme positions amid war-driven market volatility and shifting Fed policies.
