In the early hours of June 12, 2025, as trading on the exchange entered the Asian session, the price of Bitcoin suddenly fell from around $108,350, hitting a low of approximately $103,000, and later rebounding to stabilize around $104,000. This rapid decline set a new short-term low since May.
On the evening of that day, media reports stated that Israel launched a preventive airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, and Iran’s official response was to announce a “severe” counterattack, leading to a rapid escalation of tensions. As soon as the news spread, global risk assets were sold off one after another, and the digital currency market was no exception.
According to Coinglass data, nearly $100 million in liquidations have accumulated in the market over the past 12 hours, with over 90% being long positions, reflecting investors’ panic response to the rapid price decline. At the same time, trading volume has significantly increased, and short-term arbitrage funds have clearly retreated, further intensifying the downward pressure.
From a technical chart perspective, Bitcoin has shown a typical “double top” reversal signal after falling below $104,500. If it cannot effectively return to that level, the price may continue to drop towards the vicinity of $100,000. The primary support level below is $102,000, followed by the psychological level of $100,000.
