Bitcoin fell 2.6% over the past 24 hours as a bout of risk-off selling and liquidations hit the market after BTC dropped below the $76K level, coinciding with news that Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the next Fed Chair (CryptoPotato). Additional pressure may have come from headlines around large BTC movements—Trump Media reportedly shifted over $200 million in Bitcoin, drawing attention to significant flows during a down move (Decrypt).
