Warning: $BTC Falls 3.5% as Iran Tensions Pause Rally at $74,000

$BTC reached a one-month high near $74,000 but quickly pulled back to around $71,200 within a few hours.

What likely contributed:

• Pentagon sending 2,500 Marines to the Middle East

• Iran increasing activity near the Strait of Hormuz

• Oil rising $5 per barrel to $97.30

• S&P 500 and Nasdaq moving to about 0.4%-0.5% losses

Despite the pullback, $BTC is still up about 1.9% over the past 24 hours. The $71,000 level absorbed most of the selling pressure.

Verdict: Markets shifting to a cautious tone. Watch the $71,000 support level closely.
