South Korea's KOSPI index fell by 8.95% on July 13, triggering a circuit breaker. Major companies like SK Hynix lost over 15%, increasing risk sentiment in global markets.

Ash Crypto pointed to US-Iran tensions and Bank of Japan interventions as factors behind Bitcoin's decline. Hupzy warned that the KOSPI crash could push Bitcoin below support levels.
