Bitcoin fell below $74,000 after weekend gains faded, following rising US-Iran tensions after a reported cargo ship seizure and retaliation threats. The price is now moving between key levels, with $74,000 as support and $76,000–$77,000 as resistance, while traders also watch a possible CME gap and liquidity zones. Sentiment remains divided between bullish continuation and deeper pullback, as geopolitical risks and high leverage continue to drive short-term volatility in the market.
