However, the quickly escalating tension in the Middle East continues to take its toll on the market, and BTC dipped to $67,500 earlier today. This <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-drops-again-as-bhutan-transfers-more-btc-and-us-mulls-sending-10000-troops-in-iran\/\">coincided<\/a> with the Royal Government of Bhutan transferring more BTC, perhaps to sell, and reports claiming that the US is considering sending up to 10,000 troops to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The landscape worsened in the following hours, as bitcoin just dipped to its lowest position in almost three weeks at just over $66,000. Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe was quick to pick up the move, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/2037478662241489143\">indicating<\/a> that it\u2019s Friday and he wouldn\u2019t be \u201csurprised to see a deeper correction happening into months\u2019 end on BTC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recall that a massive $15 billion option expiry event will <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/how-will-huge-15b-end-of-quarter-crypto-options-expiry-move-markets-today\/\">take place<\/a> today, as it\u2019s the end of the month and the first quarter of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Van de Poppe said he expects a potential sweep of the current range\u2019s lows, and he remains interested in buying in the lower $60,000 regions.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow analyst Merlijn The Trader said the second flag is breaking down after BTC lost the $69,000 support. He believes BTC could dump to as low as $47,500 if it fails to reclaim that crucial line soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">THE SECOND FLAG IS BREAKING NOW.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin printed a bear flag.
