Bitcoin fell to below $76,500, down 1% since midnight UTC and about 3% over the past week, as renewed U.S. strikes on Iranian targets weighed on risk sentiment, according to CoinDesk.

The move came alongside a sharp jump in energy prices, with Brent crude rising past $93 a barrel and WTI nearing $90, while the U.S. Dollar Index increased 0.13% since midnight.
