Bitcoin had climbed to the $79,000 range the previous day on hopes of an end to the war in the Middle East, but it turned lower again on this day. The decline appears to reflect the deadlock in USA-Iran talks.
According to foreign media reports, Mike Waltz, the USA ambassador to the United Nations, and Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, clashed at United Nations Headquarters in New York on the 27th local time. Waltz said, "Most countries are paying the price for Iran's hostage-taking in the Strait of Hormuz." Iravani pushed back by pointing to the USA's maritime blockade, saying, "The USA is acting like pirates or terrorists."
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index provided by CoinMarketCap stood at 42 on the day, indicating "neutral." The index ranges from 0 to 100, with values closer to 0 interpreted as "extreme fear" and those closer to 100 as "extreme greed."
At the same time, Ethereum was trading in the $2,299 range, down 3.90% from the previous day. Ripple (XRP) was trading in the $1.39 range, down 3.31%.
