Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 1.1% over the last hour as traders reacted to heightened geopolitical risk and technical pressure, with Decrypt noting BTC “threatens to break support” alongside headlines about Trump threatening to “destroy Iran” and related market sensitivity to ETF-flow dynamics. Separately, AMBCrypto highlighted a sharp 77% hashrate drop in Iran as miners relocate, which may have added to near-term uncertainty around network conditions even if the impact is localized.
