$BTC Bitcoin plunged near the $77,000 level as escalating geopolitical tensions rattled global financial markets.
Investors shifted toward safer assets, triggering heavy selling pressure across cryptocurrencies.
The risk-off mood was amplified by concerns over energy supply disruptions and global trade instability.
Altcoins also faced sharp declines, reflecting broader weakness in the digital asset sector.
Analysts warn that continued geopolitical uncertainty could keep Bitcoin volatile in the short term.
However, long-term supporters view the dip as a potential accumulation opportunity if stability returns.
