Why Did Bitcoin Drop Below $76K?

Bitcoin’s price dropped more than 1% in the last 24 hours to around $75,900 after the UAE announced it would be leaving the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) next month, leading to a surge in oil prices. 

The announcement came after the UAE was the target of missile and drone attacks for weeks by fellow OPEC member Iran amid its war with the US. Attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz have also severely constrained the UAE’s ability to export oil, threatening the foundation of its economy.

Retail sentiment around Bitcoin on Stocktwits remained in ‘bullish’ territory over the past day, accompanied by ‘normal’ levels of chatter.
