Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as traders digested mixed signals around institutional demand: CoinDesk noted that while Bitcoin ETFs still hold billions, the “resilience” in holdings can mask tougher underlying market conditions after the recent price crash. At the same time, regulatory narratives stayed in focus—CoinGape reported Goldman Sachs’ CEO disclosed a Bitcoin stake while backing a regulatory push—keeping uncertainty elevated even as longer-term rotation themes (Cointelegraph’s report on $209B exiting altcoins) remain in the backdrop.
