Cryptocurrency Market Sees Sharp Downturn Amid US-Iran Conflict

The cryptocurrency market has reacted sharply to the latest escalation in the US-Iran conflict, resulting in a broad sell-off across various digital assets.

Bitcoin's price has dropped below $68,000, while Ethereum has fallen near $2,050. The sharp decline is attributed to increased geopolitical uncertainty and risk aversion among investors.

Liquidations have surged as market structure weakens, with over $336 million in positions wiped out. This indicates excessive leverage in the system, which tends to unwind aggressively during macro-driven shocks.
