Why Bitcoin is down 2.7% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.7% over the past 24 hours as a sharp move lower triggered liquidations and pushed BTC below $76K, coinciding with news that Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the next Fed Chair (CryptoPotato). The decline also came alongside attention on large BTC transfers tied to Trump Media—over $200 million in bitcoin moved per Arkham—which may have added to near-term market unease (Decrypt).
