Crypto has long been known for its volatility, and Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action in late March 2026 has lived up to that understanding. Its movement has been defined by sharp reactions to geopolitical headlines, particularly those involving U.S.-Iran tensions.
The USD/ZAR exchange rate pulled back on Wednesday as the US dollar retreated. It dropped to 16.95, down slightly from this week's high of 17.23. This retreat may continue in the near term after the pair formed a rising wedge pattern.
