Bitcoin (BTC) Slips Below $67,000 Amid Iran Conflict Uncertainty

Bitcoin dipped sharply below $67,000 in late February and early March 2026, as a sudden leap in Middle East tensions rocked global markets and crypto sentiment. Traders reacted quickly when U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran triggered fear across risk assets, pushing BTC down toward $63,000 before bouncing back modestly. This move marked one of the most volatile weekend sessions in recent months for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
