Why Bitcoin is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.3% over the past hour as traders digested a more risk-off macro backdrop, with CoinDesk noting stock-market volatility has hit a one-year high—conditions that can pressure BTC in the near term even if some view it as a potential bottoming signal. The pullback also comes after recent strength tied to ETF-flow optimism and BTC pushing above $70,000 as war-related volatility faded, which can invite short-term profit-taking following a sharp move (CoinDesk).
