Amid escalating Middle Eastern tensions and recession fears, Bitcoin’s price prediction remains uncertain as BTC falls sharply.
The leading cryptocurrency has dropped below $61,940, reaching an intra-day low of $60,700, following a decline from the previous day’s high of over $65,000.

This decline is attributed to deteriorating global economic conditions and recession fears, especially after weak job data last Friday.
