Trump’s Iran Gambit Sends Bitcoin Tumbling Below $67K as ETFs Bail Like It’s a Degen Exit Scam

By our Markets Desk3 min read

Bitcoin ($BTC) is once again playing dead below $67,000—down 2% and wiping out this week’s gains like a failed altcoin presale. The rally that briefly had degens dreaming of new highs? Vaporized. Back to the grind, boys.

Institutional mood rings are flashing “caution.” US spot Bitcoin ETFs bled $173.73 million on Wednesday, snapping a two-day streak of inflows like a rubber band to the face. The big money’s not diving in—it’s tiptoeing out, as if realizing the party’s over and the last beer was already chugged by some anon in a Bored Ape hoodie.

The crypto dump isn’t happening in a vacuum. Donald Trump, fresh off the latest reality TV break, decided to crank up the Iran tension dial on Wednesday, warning of escalation into late April and threatening to “take out” Iranian infrastructure. Because nothing says “financial stability” like a former president live-tweeting military options. Markets didn’t flinch so much as faceplant—risk assets, including Bitcoin, got yeeted.

The US Dollar flexed, oil prices popped like a turbocharged memecoin, and equities took a knee. Bitcoin, ever the sensitive asset, decided to join the selloff like a normie FOMOing into a bear trap. When geopolitics turn into a WWE promo, BTC tends to duck for cover.

CoinGlass data isn’t exactly lighting up with hope. That $173M ETF outflow? A hard pivot from earlier in the week’s cautious optimism. Institutional wallets are frozen not by cold storage, but by confusion. How do you hedge against both inflation and potential mid-East drama? Maybe just buy gold. Or a Bugatti. Not financial advice.

Glassnode’s weekly report reads like a therapist’s notes on a stressed-out hodler: Bitcoin is stuck in a $60K–$70K coma, showing flickers of stabilization but zero will to break out. On-chain, the scars remain—supply in loss is still bloated, and long-term holders haven’t fully capitulated. But hey, spot demand’s slightly up, so at least someone’s still buying the dip instead of just tweeting about it.

The $BTC/USD 4-hour chart? A horror story with moving averages. Price hovers below $66,400 while the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs form a resistance wall between $70.8K and $84.8K—basically a velvet rope bouncer line Bitcoin can’t get past.

RSI sits at 51 on H4—technically neutral, but about as exciting as a DAO meeting. MACD? Still chilling below the signal line, whispering sweet nothings like “more selling pressure incoming.”

If bears keep the pressure, $65,900 is the first support—basically the “don’t panic yet” level. But if that breaks, cue the memes and the slow march toward $60,000, where the plebs set up camp and start grilling burgers.

Bulls won’t regain the wheel until $69,200 cracks. Then, and only then, can they dream of the $72,600 fortress. A daily close above that? That’s the all-clear siren for a bullish breakout—possibly paving the way to the 100-day EMA at $76,400, where the real degens await with leveraged longs and regret.

For now, Bitcoin’s
