US EditionBitcoin falls to lowest level since April 2025 amid liquidity fears and geopolitical tensions
Bitcoin’s drop below $80,000 marks a four-month decline with over $800 billion lost in market value amid Fed policy tightening and Middle East tensions, analysts say.
- On Sunday, Bitcoin slipped below $80,000, trading at 78,706.59 at 9.17am UAE time and marking its lowest level since April 2025, according to a report updated on February 01, 2026.
- Amid reports of an explosion at Iran's Bandar Abbas port, risk sentiment deteriorated as Kevin Warsh's Fed chair nomination stoked fears, and weekend liquidity and deleveraging amplified the drop.
- Over 1.1 billion in liquidations over the weekend accelerated the sell-off, with trader posts showing $130M of levered longs wiped in 60 minutes and $800 billion erased since October, while Kyle Rodda said, `Effectively, a deleveraging is happening, forcing traders to sell other assets.`
- With gold and silver drawing flows, Bitcoin lost safe-haven demand as MicroStrategy buying cooled and spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows, deepening a drawdown erasing more than 30 per cent since October.
- Analysts still foresee a recovery later this year toward $140,000–$160,000, but four straight months of losses and liquidity concerns keep the market vulnerable.
