Bitcoin Tumbles Near $76K Amid US-Iran Conflict
Bitcoin's price plummeted to near $76,000 on September 2 following renewed US military strikes on Iran. The sudden geopolitical tension introduced new risks to Bitcoin's bullish momentum, which was previously driven by macroeconomic factors.
The cryptocurrency experienced high volatility and a slight daily loss of 0.8%, with its market cap dropping to $1.55 trillion. Despite brief recoveries to around $77,500, selling pressure kept the price subdued.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlighted $74,000 as a critical support level and potential buying opportunity if Bitcoin fails to hold above $76,200.
