Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $77,000 on Sunday night as U.S.-Iran tensions resurfaced, and fears of stronger inflation prompted broad risk aversion across markets.

According to The Block's crypto price page, bitcoin fell 1.2% in the past 24 hours to $76,593 as of 11:10 p.m. ET on Sunday. The world's largest cryptocurrency had fallen to a low of around $76,720 earlier in the day.

The drop comes just days after bitcoin reached around $82,000, boosted by strong inflows into spot exchange-traded funds and optimism surrounding the U.S. Clarity Act. Bitcoin's Fear & Greed Index is back down to 27, near the "fear" zone, from a neutral range of 40 to 50 earlier in the week.

"Key culprits [are] surging Treasury yields hitting 12-month highs, a stronger dollar, and geopolitical escalation," Andri Fauzan Adziima, research lead at Bitrue Research Institute, told The Block.

Earlier on Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump published a threat against Iran, warning that any further delays in the peace agreement may result in military action from the U.S. "They better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Amid the potential re-escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict, Brent crude oil rose 1.78% to $111.2, while WTI crude oil rose 2.2% to $107.7.

Traders worry that high oil prices and inflation would persist, considering the possibility of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates as a countermeasure, according to BTSE COO Jeff Mei. Oil-driven inflation has triggered a significant sell-off in government bonds, CNBC reported Saturday.

Rising concerns about prolonged inflation have led crypto ETF flows to weaken in the past week. According to data from SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a weekly net outflow of $1 billion in the week ended May 17, ending a six-week inflow streak.

"ETF outflows last week likely reflect institutional investors reducing short-term exposure as expectations for Fed rate cuts continue to be pushed back, and portfolio managers rotate toward cash or defensive positioning," said Min Jung, associate researcher at Presto Research.

Outlook

Jung added that bitcoin will likely remain highly correlated with broader macro markets in the coming week, with a focus on U.S. inflation data and Treasury yield movements, while meaningful progress on the Clarity Act could help improve sentiment in the crypto market.

Meanwhile, Bitrue's Adziima said the current dip appears to be a "healthy digestion" in a broader uptrend. Traders should watch for new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's tone on inflation, rates, and policy, which will likely have a considerable impact on sentiment.

"Geopolitics and ETF flows remain wildcards, but structurally I'm strongly constructive: BTC has broken bearish patterns and network fundamentals are solid," Adziima said. "Risk $74,000 support on the downside, but I'm positioning for the bounce."

"Expect range-bound, headline-sensitive trading, with sharper directional moves only when one macro signal breaks consensus," Zeus Research Analyst Dominick John added.
