Bitcoin Price Drops Below $77,000 Amid Market Pressure

Bitcoin slipped below $77,000 as investors reacted to growing geopolitical concerns linked to US-Iran tensions, rising oil prices, and fears of persistent inflation. Analysts say higher US Treasury yields also encouraged investors to move capital toward lower-risk assets offering stronger returns.

Institutional Investors Stay Cautious

Market experts believe the ETF outflows reflect short-term profit-taking rather than a complete shift in sentiment. Bitcoin is currently holding support near the $76,000–$77,000 range, while growing stablecoin supply, including USDT and USDC, suggests investors may be waiting on the sidelines for possible buying opportunities if prices weaken further.
