Fact Check
The statement is closely matched by the fetched crypto.news article "Why is Bitcoin price falling today? (April 15)", which explicitly says Bitcoin fell nearly 3% as traders booked profits after rallying above $75,000 amid renewed hopes of U.S.-Iran peace talks. The geopolitical backdrop is independently supported by Al Jazeera's "Iran war updates: Pakistani army chief in Tehran in bid to restart US talks," showing that renewed US-Iran talks were indeed a live market theme on April 15. The prior rally above $75,000 on talk-related optimism is also corroborated by 24/7 Wall St.'s "Bitcoin Hits $75,000 as XRP, Ethereum, and Solana All Surge: Is the Crypto Bull Run Starting?" What remains less directly proven is the exact causal language that the pullback specifically 'followed' profit-taking, because that interpretation is mainly from market commentary rather than a primary exchange or fund-flow source. So the overall claim is likely true, but confidence is medium rather than high.
