Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.2% over the past hour as risk sentiment stayed fragile, with ETF flow data suggesting BTC’s recent rebound hasn’t been enough to pull the market out of “extreme fear,” weighing on near-term demand. The move also coincided with a macro catalyst: lower-than-expected US initial jobless claims, which CoinGape reported prompted an immediate BTC price reaction as traders repriced expectations around tighter financial conditions.
