US-Iran Tensions Spark Bitcoin Price Drop to $83K

The price of Bitcoin dropped to $83,315 on Monday as investors took profits following heightened US-Iran tensions. The total crypto market declined by 1.72%, with a macro sell-off triggered by President Trump's rejection of Iran's ceasefire offer.

Geopolitical risk repriced after the news, sparking a broad risk-off move that pressured Bitcoin, stocks, and commodities. Oil prices surged as fears of military conflict reignited, triggering a synchronous sell-off in global risk assets, including US equity futures and crypto.

The correlation between Bitcoin's price and Gold surged to 0.95, indicating a classic flight from risk. Bitcoin acted as a risk asset, not a hedge, in this specific macro shock.
