I saw that Bitcoin is falling again — it’s now at $74.24K after the weekend brought another round of bad news. The geopolitical situation has intensified: the United States and Israel carried out military strikes on Iran, triggering a wave of crypto-asset sell-offs.

It’s interesting to watch how the mechanism works: when traditional markets are closed on weekends, Bitcoin becomes the valve through which all risk escapes. Stocks, bonds, commodities — everything is closed, while crypto trades 24/7. The result: on Saturday, BTC dropped by about 3% within a few hours, when escalation in Iran began. Iranian media reported casualties in провінція Хормозган, Israel activated air raid sirens. NATO, China, and Turkey started calling for de-escalation.

Earlier this weekend, Bitcoin even fell to $63K — the lowest level in several months. Israel’s defense minister declared a state of emergency. All of this is happening while negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program have long since reached a dead end.

What’s interesting: even with headlines so serious, Bitcoin didn’t fall even harder. Maybe because on weekends there are few active orders — more occasional sell-offs than real pressure. But the threats remain, especially when the United States begins the workweek. BTC traders should be cautious — geopolitical risks haven’t disappeared.
