There&#8217;s also a technical aspect that helped prevent another leg up.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"new-escalation\">New Escalation<\/h2>\n<p>Numerous reports online suggested on Sunday that the United States had warned that hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthis have escalated, with some even suggesting that the latter&#8217;s capital was under drone and ballistic missile attacks. BBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cwly5d9v7r43o\">added<\/a> that even some energy sites on the country&#8217;s Red Sea coast were targeted.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi authorities reported that they intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh on Saturday evening, claiming that there were no casualties and no new attacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly,&#8221; said the US State Department. The statement also warned Americans to &#8220;seriously reconsider travel to and through the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Daily Iran News, an X account with over 500,000 followers, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DailyIranNews\/status\/2101477299459633270\">claimed<\/a> that Iran had issued &#8220;Code 100,&#8221; its highest alert level, for all armed forces earlier this morning. It covers the IRGC, the Army, and security forces.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the news, Trump reportedly cut short his weekend at Camp David to return to the White House, citing the potential for significant escalation. Israel&#8217;s Netanyahu also reportedly headed back to his country after cutting the US trip short.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"td-sequential\">TD Sequential<\/h2>\n<p>We saw last week that the substantial <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-hits-14-day-high-despite-clarity-setback-fed-and-boj-rate-hikes-weekly-recap\/\">blows<\/a> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-us-senate-fails-to-advance-crypto-clarity-act-heres-what-this-means\/\">CLARITY Act setback<\/a>, the Fed <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-fed-raises-interest-rates-by-25-bps-bitcoin-price-reacts\/\">rate hikes<\/a>, and the subsequent hawkish outlook couldn&#8217;t keep BTC down for now. The asset dipped to $75,000 after the Senate vote, but went on an impressive run on Friday and Saturday, nearing $82,000 for the first time in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This notable rally, though, changed some technical aspects. Ali Martinez reported that the TD Sequential, which flashed a buy signal when BTC slipped to $75,000, had flipped into a sell signal on Saturday evening, just as the cryptocurrency had tapped $81,500.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;That suggests short-term momentum may be getting stretched, and I\u2019m watching closely for signs that it\u2019s time to lock in some profits,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2101370045079126400\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/why-was-bitcoin-rejected-at-82k-3-reasons-behind-the-sunday-pullback\/\">Why Was Bitcoin Rejected at $82K? 3 Reasons Behind the Sunday Pullback<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/why-was-bitcoin-rejected-at-82k-3-reasons-behind-the-sunday-pullback\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the overall macro calamity experienced last week, bitcoin&#8217;s price surged from $75,000 to almost $82,000 within days,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
