The US dollar just hit a two-week peak, driven by geopolitical tensions following developments in Venezuela. According to ING analyst Francesco Pesole, markets are experiencing what looks like a textbook 'flight to safety'—investors rotating into traditional safe-haven assets. However, here's the catch: Pesole cautions this kind of move typically doesn't stick around. The initial shock wears off, traders reassess fundamentals, and the short-term premium evaporates. For crypto traders watching macro trends, this volatility in traditional markets often creates opportunities—but timing is everything when sentiment shifts this quickly.
