Bitcoin Declines Amid ETF Outflows and Rising U.S.-Iran Geopolitical Tensions
Bitcoin started June trading near 73,500 but declined toward 70,000 amid over $2 billion in ETF outflows and escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran. Institutional selling, including Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in years, contributed to market caution, while some large investors continued accumulating. Analysts highlight the 70,000 level as key support, with further declines possible if breached. Investors await upcoming U.S. economic data and Federal Reserve decisions for market direction.
