Bitcoin holds near $78K amid US-Iran tensions boosting oil prices and market uncertainty.

Bitcoin remained steady around $77,580 as geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran raised oil prices and pressured stocks and gold. The cryptocurrency gained about 23% in August, outperforming gold and the Nasdaq. Rising oil prices followed US attacks on an Iranian island, with Iran retaliating, pushing WTI crude to $85.10 and Brent crude to $92.39 per barrel. Market focus shifts to the upcoming US jobs report and Federal Reserve policy, with cautious investor sentiment due to hawkish Fed remarks and macroeconomic uncertainty.
