The cryptocurrency market remains largely under pressure on Wednesday amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. After plunging from its May high of $82,823, Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of stabilization, consolidating above the key $67,000 support level.
Bitcoin (BTC) price dips below $70,000 on Tuesday, extending the 3% decline from the previous day. Market momentum turned extremely bearish, with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) tied to BTC offloading roughly $4 billion since May 15.
Ripple (XRP) extends its consolidation around $1.33 at the time of writing on Wednesday, as market participants largely remain on the sidelines awaiting clarity over a potential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States (US) and Iran.
