Bitcoin falls amid geopolitical jitters

Bitcoin (BTC) has entered 2026 under pressure, falling to its lowest level since last year’s tariff shock.

The BTC price has fallen below $80,000, with overall momentum moving downward.

At 10.45 am, it was trading at $76,906.

Despite Bitcoin’s previous peak of nearly $125,000 on the expectation of pro-crypto policies, uncertain financial conditions and geopolitical tensions have pushed prices lower. 

Per reports, investors and traders are opting for more traditional bets such as gold and other precious metals over the uncertainty of crypto.
