Bitcoin fell 7.4% in 24 hours to $82,134, marking its lowest price in nine months, amid a $1.68 billion liquidation of crypto positions. The selloff was triggered by geopolitical tensions, including U.S. policy shifts like Trump's Fed chair nominee announcement and national emergency executive order, alongside global conflicts driving risk aversion. Market sentiment is bearish in the short term, with options investors betting on further declines to the $70,000–$75,000 range.
