Bitcoin operates down 3% with Middle East, interest and ETF exit

Bitcoin fell this Thursday (4) amid a reduction in appetite for risk in global markets in the face of geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East and expectations of higher interest rates for longer in the United States.

The house adds that American measures against brokers linked to Iran highlight the growing influence of regulatory and political issues on digital assets.

Tony Sycamore, from IG, states that bitcoin is also pressured by the lower risk appetite and the recent sale of part of the reserves of Strategy, the cryptocurrency's largest corporate accumulator, for the first time since the "crypto winter" of 2022.

For the next few days, Lacie Zhang, from Bitget, assesses that bitcoin could test the range between US$55,000 and US$57,000 if market outflows persist.
