Bitcoin fell more than 4% to around $65,720 on March 27 due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the largest quarterly options settlement on record, worth $14.16 billion. Analyst Peter Brandt identified a bearish rising wedge pattern, suggesting Bitcoin could decline to $60,000 or even $49,000. Market experts warn that ongoing instability and the massive options expiry may increase volatility and downward pressure, with $60,000 as a critical support level. Some analysts foresee a potential drop below $50,000 in Q2 2026 before a possible recovery later in the year.
