Bitcoin Price Tumbles Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Weak August Seasonality

Bitcoin's price fell to $62,828 on August 3 as investors became increasingly cautious due to rising geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran.

This decline of approximately 0.95% over the past 24 hours followed a brief attempt by Bitcoin to cross the $63,600 mark earlier in the day.

Despite this pullback, large wallet holders, often referred to as 'whales,' have continued to accumulate Bitcoin during price dips, adding over 40,100 BTC to their holdings over the same period that the Coinbase Premium Index stayed negative.

The market's current state is characterized by a 'fear' sentiment, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index sitting at 35.
