Bitcoin Faces Pressure Near $83,000 After Lethal Houthi Strike on Riyadh Airport

Bitcoin traded near $83,000 amid mounting pressure following a deadly Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh that killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300. Saudi authorities have pledged retaliation, while US President Donald Trump signaled potential US involvement in retaliatory strikes. The assault follows unconfirmed Houthi claims days earlier targeting the same airport alongside other Saudi sites. Analysts caution that traditional market reopenings could spark downside volatility and risk-off sentiment across global asset classes, including cryptocurrencies.
