Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as signs of reduced whale participation weighed on sentiment, with analysts noting large-holder activity is pulling back in a way that “mirrors” the 2022 bear market (Decrypt). The decline also coincided with reports of a broader crypto pullback tied to ETF-flow and market-wide selling pressure (CryptoPotato), which likely reinforced the downside move despite a constructive regulatory milestone in Italy (Bitcoin Magazine).
