Bitcoin retreated to about $76,000 after Middle East tensions reversed a risk-asset rally, extending the pullback from levels above 77,000 USDT. The move triggered $762 million in crypto liquidations affecting about 168,336 traders, including roughly $593 million in short positions. Despite the decline, Bitcoin still held a weekly gain of about 4.5%, and markets are watching whether the $76,000 area will hold as a near-term support level.
