Bitcoin prices dropped below the $62,000 mark today following news of potential retaliatory strikes on Iranian infrastructure. The market reacted quickly to the uncertainty, sparking a wave of selling across the digital asset space.

Data shows that crypto liquidations reached $450 million in a short window as traders scrambled to manage risk. The sudden downturn highlights how sensitive the digital asset market remains to global political shifts and military escalations.

Investors are now keeping a close eye on the situation to see if the volatility persists or if prices find support. For now, the mood remains cautious as the market waits for further updates on the diplomatic and military situation.
