Published by

Bitcoin fell as low as $65,575 on Monday after reports of an attack on a major Middle East oil facility triggered fear in global markets and a risk-off move that also dragged S&P 500 futures down 1.4%. The cryptocurrency is down about 2% in 24 hours, with roughly 46% of circulating BTC held at a loss and the Fear & Greed Index at an extreme 10, while traders track key support levels between $58,000 and $64,000 amid heightened volatility.
