Wednesday, June 3, 2026 · Covering Tuesday June 2 session
Summary
Bitcoin price today: BTC slid below 66,000 on the perpetual tape on Tuesday June 2, down more than 4% on the day as fresh US strikes on Iran and new Treasury sanctions reignited the risk-off move that has defined the slide. The selling was broad, with ether, Solana and BNB all down 5% or more. The deeper backdrop is unchanged: a record run of spot-ETF outflows, the first Strategy sale since 2022, and a Fed all but priced out of a June cut. The daily RSI at 23.40 is deeply oversold, but BTC trades well below its 200-day near 72,149.
The Big Three
Bitcoin fell below 66,000 intraday, down more than 4% on the perpetual tape, as renewed US-Iran strikes and fresh sanctions sent risk assets lower. Even gold and silver fell, the sign of a broad risk-off move rather than a crypto-specific one.
