Why is Bitcoin (BTC) Price Falling? What’s Behind the Decline? Analysts Answer! – Analysis Company Warned About This Altcoin!

While the end of the months-long war between the US and Iran was expected, the renewed intensification of tensions and the combination of Fed interest rate uncertainty stemming from war-induced inflation are continuing to put downward pressure on Bitcoin (BTC).

At this point, BTC has fallen as low as $73,000 during the day, and market analysts argue that recovery or further declines will depend on whether the price regains the $74,000 level.

While the renewed US-Iran conflict is cited as the main reason for this decline, LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck states that the decline is due to a combination of various factors.

Speaking to The Block, Nick Ruck stated, “Profit-taking following recent highs, rising US Treasury yields, and macroeconomic uncertainty stemming from geopolitical tensions have fueled risk aversion and the decline in Bitcoin and altcoins.”

Zeus Research analyst Dominick John cited the shift of funds towards traditional financial market equities and large-scale derivatives liquidations as the primary reasons for the recent Bitcoin price drop. John stated, “Liquidation pressure stemming from the collapse of key price levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum triggered further declines.”

Finally, Michael Kramer, CEO of Mott Capital Management, argued that Bitcoin is not an independently moving asset, and that macroeconomic variables such as increasing government debt also have a significant impact on its price.

At this point, the renowned CEO assessed that Bitcoin could fall even further if liquidity decreases due to the issuance of US Treasury bonds and short-term securities.

Further Downward Warnings Issued for Ethereum!

The decline in Bitcoin also affected the altcoin market. BTC fell 3.2% in the last 24 hours to $73,200, while Solana (SOL) dropped 3.6% to $80.6, and XRP fell 3% to $1.28. Ethereum (ETH) dropped 4.3% to $1,980, losing the $2,000 level for the first time in almost two months.

Analyses indicate that with Ethereum falling below $2,000, the tendency to “buy the dip” has intensified among individual investors, which is a warning sign for a decline in ETH.

The analytics platform Santiment suggests that buying pressure during extreme dips could signal short-term price declines.

Santiment noted that sharp price drops typically create fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) among investors, but the current sentiment is characterized by an increased expectation of a buying opportunity. The platform cautioned that prices tend to fall further when investor sentiment is overly optimistic. Santiment added that a better buying opportunity might emerge when genuine fear arises in the market.

“The price of Ethereum has fallen below $2,000 for the first time since March 29.”

Individual investors are reacting by suggesting that the break below the psychological support level of $2,000 actually presents a ‘buy opportunity’. However, this is happening in a situation where an overly optimistic atmosphere has formed in the current market.

Popular investors often misjudge the direction of the market. This excessive optimism can lead to the possibility of further price declines.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
