Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% in the last hour

Analysis

Bitcoin slipped 1.6% over the past hour as traders likely took profits or pared exposure after the earlier ETF-driven push that lifted BTC above $74,000. Both Bitcoin Magazine and U.Today pointed to improving sentiment and ETF-related momentum behind the prior move, which can often be followed by short-term pullbacks as the market digests gains.
