Bitcoin’s attempt to reclaim $68,000 was swiftly rejected as renewed geopolitical jitters sent risk assets tumbling, while XRP slid back toward $1.20, testing a critical support zone. BTC peaked near $68,500 overnight before news of escalating Middle East tensions triggered a sharp reversal, pushing price back to $66,800 . The failed breakout leaves the $65K–$68K range intact, with traders now eyeing the lower bound for a potential retest. #Bitcoin #XRP #CryptoMarket #Geopolitics #CryptoNews #crypto #defi #web3 #MarketWatch
