- The U.S.-Iran conflict has entered its second week, with a reported only a 25% chance of a ceasefire by March 31.
- Bitcoin reached a one-month high of $74,000 before declining to $68,000 due to selling pressure from short-term holders.
- Over the past week, short-term holders contributed to over 27,000 BTC sent to exchanges amid profit-taking behavior.
- BTC whales also liquidated holdings as prices peaked earlier this week despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The escalation of military action in the U.S.-Iran conflict is impacting market sentiment, particularly in cryptocurrency markets where rising oil prices are exerting downward pressure on Bitcoin and other assets.
As Bitcoin’s price fell from $74,000 to $68,000 amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, traders remain cautious about potential further declines driven by ongoing selling pressure from both short-term holders and whales.(Source)
