Bitcoin Drops 5% as Analysts Warn of Further Downside
-

Bitcoin fell roughly 5% over 24 hours, trading near $70,000, as analysts linked the decline to escalating geopolitical tensions and attacks on key energy infrastructure.
According to market analysts, the sell-off began shortly after Iran’s strike on Qatar’s gas facilities, amplifying global uncertainty. Experts warn that if Bitcoin fails to hold the $70K–$71K support range, it could fall back to the $60K level.
Interestingly, gold also dropped more than 4% during the same period, suggesting that investors are not shifting into traditional safe-haven assets but instead pulling back across markets.
The synchronized decline points to a broader risk-off move rather than a rotation into defensive positions.
