Leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum showed little movement, trading between $76,000-$77,000 and $2,078-$2,155 respectively, while Dogecoin dropped nearly 2%. Market volatility increased with over $300 million liquidated in 24 hours, driven by fears linked to President Trump's announcement of a potential large-scale assault on Iran. Despite this, Bitcoin whale wallets are accumulating, signaling confidence, and analysts suggest a Bitcoin price floor between $65,900 and $70,500. Stock markets also fell slightly, reflecting investor caution amid rising geopolitical risks.
