Bitcoin Volatility amid Geopolitical Tensions
Bitcoin entered Tuesday testing the $104,000 support level, consolidating after a week of losses, as global tensions and crypto liquidations weighed on markets, though pointing to an overall yearly gain. While Bitcoin captured less trader attention short-term, other cryptocurrencies offered distinct narratives.
Market Overview
The global crypto market capitalization held steady near $3.25 trillion, showing little movement in the recent session. Year-over-year growth has accumulated, adding approximately $500 million over the past quarter, providing context amidst short-term fluctuations.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index registered near 65, signifying a neutral-to-bullish sentiment that encourages strategic accumulation over panic selling. Contributing factors to current market volatility included geopolitical strains surrounding the Israel-Iran conflict and concerns about U.S. involvement, alongside leveraged positions collapsing due to losses averaging $1.2 billion.
Institutional interest appears undeterred, with U.S.-based crypto ETFs maintaining net inflows recently and the iShares Bitcoin Trust recently breaching the $70 billion asset management threshold.
Bitcoin Technical Analysis
