Why Bitcoin is down 3.4% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 3.4% over the past 24 hours as it dropped below $65,000 amid macro-driven volatility that triggered liquidations in an already fragile market, according to The Block. Selling pressure was also reinforced by miner Bitdeer reportedly dumping its entire BTC reserves, reducing its holdings to zero, which likely added to downside momentum (Cointelegraph).
