Following a mid-week rally above $68,000, Bitcoin retreated toward $70,000 by early March 6, 2026, erasing $110 billion in market capitalization amid worsening Iran conflict, rising oil prices, and a strengthening U.S. dollar. The pullback occurs despite ongoing institutional adoption, with $2.6 billion in Bitcoin options set to expire, heightening volatility risks.
Bitcoin traded near $69,500 on Wednesday after failing to hold above $71,000, influenced by ongoing U.S.-Israel tensions with Iran. While most altcoins declined, AI-related tokens like ICP and FET saw gains driven by exchange listings and positive industry commentary. Geopolitical volatility continued to affect markets, with oil prices fluctuating sharply.

Bitcoin held around $68,000 on Tuesday, March 3, showing resilience after Monday's rally, as global stocks tumbled on renewed Middle East tensions. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 fell over 2%, gold dropped sharply, and the U.S. dollar strengthened amid risk-off moves.
Precious metals experienced a dramatic plunge on Friday, with silver dropping 35% and gold falling 12% from recent highs. Bitcoin remained relatively stable around $83,000 amid the volatility. The sell-off appears linked to President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair.
