Bitcoin Price Slips Back to $68,000 Amid Market Volatility

- Federal Reserve Policy Impact: Fed Chair Jerome Powell's hawkish remarks on inflation have led to expectations that interest rates will not be cut for over a year, putting downward pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets, thereby increasing market uncertainty.
- Geopolitical Factors: Escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly threats from Trump regarding Iran, caused a sharp and brief drop in Bitcoin's price, highlighting its sensitivity as a risk-on asset reacting swiftly to global political unrest.
