Analysis: The renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz triggered risk aversion, causing Bitcoin to fall back to $75,000.

PANews reported on April 19th that, according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin prices fell back to approximately $75,000 due to renewed tensions in the Middle East. Market concerns about an escalating conflict between the US and Iran, coupled with the renewed closure of the Strait of Hormuz, have brought the risk of rising oil prices back into focus, significantly increasing macroeconomic uncertainty.

Data shows that Bitcoin previously touched a near ten-week high of $78,400, but subsequently fell back under pressure. Market analysts believe that geopolitical events and oil price fluctuations are dominating short-term risk appetite changes.

In the past 24 hours, approximately $260 million was liquidated in the crypto market, indicating significant pressure on long positions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to face resistance near the key technical level of the 21-week moving average, suggesting short-term downward pressure.

Market analysts point out that, given the highly sensitive market sentiment, any unexpected news could quickly reverse the market's direction, potentially exacerbating short-term volatility.
