Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment improved on macro/geopolitical headlines, with CoinDesk noting that upcoming CPI and developments around Iran talks could support positioning. At the same time, the move looked measured because institutional positioning “lacks conviction,” and Cointelegraph flagged that older whales sold roughly $271M in BTC, a potential overhang even as prices held up.
