Why Bitcoin is down 4.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 4.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened after a hawkish Fed tone dented expectations for near-term rate cuts, coinciding with reports of long-time holders selling over $100 million in BTC (CoinDesk). Selling pressure was also reinforced by a reversal in spot Bitcoin ETF demand, with the prior inflow streak snapping into roughly $164 million of net outflows during the dip (Cointelegraph).
