The Bitcoin price, which hit $110,450 Monday, is now writing its third straight red day. It fell by 5.3%, from an intraday high of $108,450, to a low of $102,664, before climbing back up to $104,456 at press time. It was almost exactly minute by minute that the sell-off coincided with Israel’s confirmation of large-scale strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Why is Bitcoin falling today?
Israel’s pre-dawn operation — its first overt attack on Iranian territory since the October-2024 raids — instantly repriced global risk. Oil futures surged more than ten percent, gold spot reached new highs above $3400 an ounce and US equity contracts fell by about one-fiveth of a percentage point. Bitcoin’s drop in value resembles the initial response to Iran’s missile attack against Israel.

US policymakers do not want a fresh rise in crude. West Texas Intermediate vaulted past $77 a barrel—its first visit to that level in four months—after Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, erasing much of the hard-won disinflation dividend and dragging energy back to centre stage. This contract has risen more than $11 from its low in April, and threatens to reverse the price trend that was taking place.
It comes as US inflation data has surprised the market to the positive again in recent days. May’s Consumer Price Index Inflation rose by just 0.1% for the month but 2.4% over the year.

Headline PPI rose only 0.1% on a month-to-month basis and 2.6% year-over-year, which is below expectations.
