Trump Leaves Iran Strikes Open, Bitcoin and Nasdaq-100 Futures Decline

Bitcoin and Nasdaq-100 futures declined late Sunday evening due to uncertainty over US strikes against Iran.

President Donald Trump hinted at potential further military action before November's midterm elections, leaving markets on edge.

At 11:30 p.m. ET Sunday (03:30 UTC Monday), Bitcoin traded at $83,324, down 1.3%, while Nasdaq futures fell 0.7% at the same time.

The US President said he expected the war with Iran to end 'very soon', but did not rule out renewed strikes before the elections.
