#MiddleEastTensionsEscalate


Bitcoin plunged sharply in the past few days as tensions escalated in the Middle East. At one point, Bitcoin dropped under $78,000 on Saturday, marking a significant decline from its recent price highs.
The main reasons behind this drop were rising geopolitical risks—particularly increased conflict and uncertainty involving Iran and the U.S.—plus growing concerns over U.S. political stability and new tariff threats. Thin weekend liquidity made it even easier for panic selling to push the price down. Just two days earlier, Bitcoin was trading around $84,400; since then, it has fallen more than 7%, with billions in liquidations triggered (over $1,700,000,000 on Friday alone).
So, if you’re tracking the impact: Bitcoin dropped from about $84,400 to below $78,000—over a $6,000 slide—mostly because traders got nervous about war risks and global instability.
