#BTC

The geopolitical black swan has flown out, and the market is collectively crashing.

Tonight, four words in the crypto market: "Drop mom, no recognition."

• BTC $77,477 (-1.41%)

• ETH $2,145 (-2.73%)

• SOL $85.02 (-2.18%)

• BNB $642 (-1.95%)

The entire market is falling from all angles, I didn't even dare to mention EOS, afraid it would jump off a building after seeing it.

BTC has been sliding south from the early high of $78,395, with the $76,500 psychological level already teetering. ETH experienced a $162K scale short liquidation during the session, SOL led the decline among mainstream coins, and BNB broke below $645 support. Trading volume concentrated during European hours, with the four-hour decline trend not yet converging.

Today's core drivers:

1. Major news! The U.S. accepts a pause on Iran oil sanctions — According to Tasnim News Agency, the U.S. has accepted a temporary halt of OFAC sanctions during negotiations in the new text, and proposed lifting Iran oil sanctions. Once the news broke, crude oil short-term plunged over $1 — global macro sentiment instantly shifted, risk aversion suppressed crypto.

2. Russian Foreign Ministry: Kyiv regime refuses dialogue on Ukraine crisis — Russia confirms Kyiv has no intention to negotiate, geopolitical tensions heat up again.

3. BTC experienced a $105K short liquidation briefly, ETH $162K short liquidation — main players took the opportunity to cut losses, but no significant rebound followed, indicating bulls are also watching.

4. BCH open interest rose against the trend +7.39%, new longs entered — amid mainstream coins falling across the board, BCH showed independent movement. Are some betting on a fork narrative or just stubborn?

5. Trump posts AI images threatening Iran on social media — geopolitical rhetoric escalates, market nerves remain tense.

My simple judgment: tonight’s decline is not an inherent crypto risk but driven by macro geopolitical risk aversion selling. The Iran negotiation news is the biggest variable — if oil prices continue to fall, liquidity drain from crypto will be faster than you think. But BTC around $76,500 has short-term support; if $77,000 breaks, this will become a new battleground for longs and shorts. If U.S. stocks don’t rebound tonight, BTC may follow with a correction; otherwise, it’s likely to continue weak oscillation or even another drop.

Next key points to watch: whether $76,500 can hold, and whether crude oil can stabilize. Hold it, then tonight is "digging a pit"; if not, then tonight is "starting to fill the pit." Do you think this is an opportunity or a trap?
