Bitcoin price tumbles as US strikes rattle global markets

Bitcoin prices fell after US strikes triggered a risk-off reaction across global markets, prompting a crypto sell-off. Traders rotated into traditional safe havens, pushing down risk assets and amplifying intraday crypto volatility. The prevailing assessment is that geopolitical escalation is increasing short-term downside pressure on Bitcoin and strengthening its correlation with broader market sentiment. Prolonged uncertainty, however, could also reinforce Bitcoin’s appeal as a non-sovereign store of value over a longer horizon.
