Leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum weakened alongside U.S. stocks after President Donald Trump warned the U.S. would act soon if a deal with Iran is not reached. Bitcoin hovered around $76,000-$77,000 with falling trading volumes, while Ethereum dropped below $2,100 before a slight recovery. The global crypto market cap fell slightly to $2.55 trillion. Stocks also declined sharply, with the Dow Jones down 0.65%, amid fears of renewed conflict with Iran. Analysts suggest Bitcoin could rally if it holds key support levels but warn of deeper corrections if those levels fail.
