Bitcoin slipped 0.9% to $64,216.3 by 17:41 ET (21:41 GMT) as broader risk sentiment weakened following declines in technology stocks, heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, and a hawkish comment from Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan urging modestly higher interest rates. The price move coincided with U.S. retail sales rising 0.2% month‑on‑month to $768.6 billion, gasoline‑station sales falling 5.3% to $60.6 billion, and Brent crude futures gaining more than 11% amid renewed conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
