Why Bitcoin is down 2.0% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 2% over the past 24 hours as broader risk-off sentiment weighed on crypto, with reports pointing to renewed selling alongside ETF-flow-driven pressure while the US-Iran war entered its fourth week. CryptoPotato also noted “extreme fear” in market sentiment as BTC slid to a multi-week low, reinforcing the downside momentum even as institutional accumulation narratives (like Strategy’s continued buying plans) weren’t enough to offset near-term weakness.
