Bitcoin traders faced a $584 million liquidation of long positions on Monday, the largest since February, as geopolitical tensions and rising U.S. Treasury yields pressured the price down to a critical support level at $76,318. The sell-off was triggered by concerns over potential military action against Iran, causing risk-off sentiment across markets. Despite this, stablecoin liquidity increased, suggesting potential buying power for a recovery above $80,000. Analysts highlight resistance at $85,900, where earlier investors may sell, and note that future price moves will likely depend on spot market demand rather than futures trading.
