Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 3.5% over the past 24 hours as its recent “war-week” rebound ran into technical resistance, with CoinDesk noting BTC dropped back under $71,000 alongside broader weakness in majors like ETH and DOGE. Sentiment also took a hit from a regulatory headline after CoinDesk reported Vancouver’s mayoral proposal to invest city funds in bitcoin was blocked by city and provincial law, reinforcing policy constraints around institutional adoption.
