Why Bitcoin is down 2.0% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell about 2% over the past 24 hours as broader risk sentiment weakened amid renewed geopolitical uncertainty after reports that the Iran ceasefire was fraying, which coincided with BTC slipping below the $71,000 level. Additional pressure came as traders watched BTC “threaten to break support” alongside macro/geopolitical headlines and attention on ETF flow dynamics.
