Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.1% over the last hour as it tested the $70,000 level and saw a burst of forced selling, with liquidations topping $75 million, which can amplify short-term downside moves (BeInCrypto). The pullback also aligns with reports of profit-taking and ETF-related flow dynamics keeping BTC capped below $70K (Cointelegraph), even as some analysts point to broader “bottoming” signals in the market (CoinDesk).
