Why Bitcoin is down 3.5% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 3.5% over the past 24 hours as traders highlighted weakening momentum after BTC began erasing its recent $74K breakout, reinforcing near-term downside expectations (Cointelegraph). Selling pressure may also have been amplified by miner-related supply after CleanSpark disclosed it sold 97% of its February bitcoin production to fund an AI pivot (CoinDesk).
