Bitcoin and ethereum prices fell Tuesday morning as the Middle East conflict continues without an apparent end date. Both cryptocurrencies are down since the war began in late February. Bitcoin has dipped 4.4% and ethereum has fallen 5.7%. For context, the gold futures (GC=F) price has declined far more, 14.7% in the same period.

However, bitcoin and ethereum are in the midst of an extended bear market. Analysts are split on whether the bottom is near or the digital currencies will continue to slide. The Kalshi prediction market has odds on Bitcoin ending the year between $65,000 and $69,999.99. Bitcoin ETFs did show net inflows on Monday after three consecutive days of net outflows, according to Coinglass data.
