Bitcoin slipped 1.2% to just over $27,000 amid escalating Hamas-Israel conflict.

Investors are shying away from risk assets like crypto in favor of safe havens like gold.

Ether fell 2.2% extending weekly losses to over 5%; XRP dropped 3%.

Bitcoin's attempt to break $28K last week triggered profit-taking selling it back down to $27K.
