$BTC loses the $100,000 line after US bombing of Iran
The price of bitcoin sits slightly below $100,000, according to data from CoinMarketCap, in a context marked by the intensification of the conflict in the Middle East.
The war between Israel and Iran, which escalated on June 12 with Israeli attacks, reached a new peak on June 21, when the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In response, the Iranian Parliament is reportedly considering approving the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a measure that affects a strategic passage through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply transits, impacting the global economy. This event caused a brief drop in bitcoin, which remains below $100,000. At the time of writing, the bitcoin price chart shows two consecutive daily red candles.
