Over $1.5 billion in Bitcoin long positions were liquidated following heightened geopolitical tensions after U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, causing a sharp market selloff. This forced deleveraging reflects increased risk aversion and suggests Bitcoin is unlikely to surpass $66,000 by May 30 or $78,000 by June 1. Investors should monitor further Middle East developments and regulatory announcements that could impact Bitcoin's price trajectory.
