The price of Bitcoin fell below $63,000 on Friday, as a new attack on US planes in Iran and a new political conflict between Washington and Beijing forced investors to exit the risk.

The drop in bitcoin prices followed a sharp decline in global markets. Japan’s Nikkei 225 he has fallen 4% is a correction, a fall of more than 10% from its peak on June 25, while memory-chip maker Kioxia lost 16.1%.

The price of Bitcoin, the rise of Iran, and uncertainty in Washington
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency, citing the governor of Hormozgan province, said the US airstrike. hit five bridges in the southern part.
Different throwing shots damages a maritime monitoring tower at the port of Chabahar in Iran. WTI crude rose to near $79 a barrel, up nearly 15% in five quarters, a move that eased concerns about inflation and the path of interest rates.
A second front of uncertainty opened up in Washington. President Donald Trump announced the intelligence that to say China’s interference in the US election is that Beijing got 220 million votes, which threatened to be a threat to democracy. The Chinese ambassador denied the claims.
The dispute weighs heavily on the market, even as traders fear it could derail the deal ahead of Trump’s September meeting with Xi Jinping. The Australian dollar, a trade benchmark linked to China, weakened against the greenback.
The price of Bitcoin
Based on this, some experts criticize the masks on the market whose drivers have changed a little. Nicolai Sondergaard, a research analyst at Nansen, said that the price tape of bitcoin shows a bigger data than a geopolitical hedge.
“The cost-effective and financial approach is at work here more than the hedge issue,” Sondergaard said. He pointed to the June CPI report release July 14, which showed the headline inflation of 3.5% against the 3.8% forecast and the main reading of 2.6% against 2.9%. The dollar index fell to near 100.77, a multi-month low, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.57%.
Limited printing to revise Fed expectations. The odds of a rate hike at the July 28-29 meeting fell from above 40% to the teenage lows, according to CME FedWatch data.
“The FOMC meeting on July 28 to 29 is a reality,” Sondergaard said. “If the CPI data holds up and the Fed shows a more confident approach, fixed income ETFs are back.”
The release of Onchain supports its reading. Spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $510 million in three quarters this month, ending a $2.73 billion outflow, with BlackRock’s IBIT. Nansen’s data shows large pockets that were fixed during the attack.
“Net outflows hit -18.3 BTC in the hour of the show, then returned to the post-shock figure of +0.67 BTC per hour, meaning that buyers are back within the same range,” said Sondergaard.
Sondergaard framed the scene as inspiring rather than fragile. Coins remained close to zero, a sign that long spreads have not increased, and the smart coin long/short ratio hovered at 1.58 without switching to stablecoins. Retailers had a score of 1.79, a step ahead of positives but in the same direction. The seven-day entry is concentrated in liquid assets, DeFi lending and centralized exchanges, risk distribution.
Sondergaard said the series is related to past paradoxes. “Pre-development in the Middle East created a similar pattern: short-term acceleration, accumulation resumes,” he said.
“The MVRV is at 1.205 and the price is about $53,000 and long-term holders spend $49,900, which means the bottom,” Sondergaard said. “This is not the history of the market moving on geopolitical logic.”
At the time of writing, the price of bitcoin is $62,836.
