Bitcoin drops below $77K as US-Iran tensions push oil prices up and trigger market selloff

Bitcoin fell below $77,000 and Ethereum dropped under $2,400 amid renewed US-Iran conflict, which caused oil prices to surge above $94 and increased US Treasury yields to about 4.79%. This geopolitical tension heightened inflation concerns and expectations of continued Federal Reserve tightening, pressuring crypto and growth assets. Despite a $217 million inflow into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, the market remains volatile, reflecting Bitcoin's sensitivity to macroeconomic factors rather than acting as a geopolitical hedge. The key question is whether ETF demand can sustain Bitcoin if oil prices and yields stay high.
