Risk aversion sweeps across Asia! Bitcoin surged and then fell back, losing the 67,000 mark, while the South Korean stock market experienced a "black two days" crash
Global markets are undergoing an "indiscriminate sell-off" triggered by geopolitical tensions.
On March 4th, Bitcoin's price experienced a rollercoaster: after briefly rising to the upper end of its trading range, it faced fierce resistance from bears and quickly fell back to the $67,000 mark. Behind this surge and subsequent drop is the widespread risk aversion panic in the Asian market.
According to NS3, the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have directly ignited an epic crash in the South Korean stock market—where the KOSPI index recorded its largest two-day drop since the 2008 global financial crisis. This market, known for its "retail resilience," is now unable to withstand the concentrated release of panic.
The movement of Bitcoin reflects the sentiment in this market: it attempted to act as a "safe-haven asset" in the morning but ultimately was dragged down in the face of systemic selling pressure. As of the time of publication, the price has tested the $67,000 support level, where both bulls and bears are engaged in intense tug-of-war.
Meanwhile, mainstream cryptocurrencies are under pressure across the board. Ethereum and Solana prices have significantly declined, with further widening losses, reflecting that the risk aversion sentiment during the Asian trading hours is rapidly transmitting from the stock market to the cryptocurrency market. On-chain data shows that some Asian whales are reducing their positions in mainstream coins and turning to stablecoins for safety.
Analysts point out that when the South Korean stock market recorded its worst drop in 16 years, it indicated that both institutional and individual investors are fleeing risk assets en masse. Although Bitcoin is viewed by some as "digital gold," it remains difficult to stand apart in the face of tightening systemic liquidity in the short term.
Can the $67,000 defense line hold? Tonight's performance of the U.S. stock market may become a crucial turning point signal.
