Bitcoin dropped below $67,000 and ether neared $2,000 as nearly $300 million in long crypto futures were liquidated, signaling a shift from bullish to cautious sentiment. The selloff coincided with weakening U.S. equities and rising oil prices above $100 per barrel, driven by fears of prolonged conflict in Iran, which increased market risk aversion. Altcoins underperformed, with some tokens like XRP and SHIB seeing increased short interest, while ONDO gained on ETF tokenization news. Despite the price drop, volatility indices suggest traders are not panicking yet, but downside protection demand remains high, indicating cautious positioning amid uncertain macroeconomic conditions.
