Why Bitcoin is down 3.7% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 3.7% over the past 24 hours as risk-off sentiment tied to rising geopolitical tensions sparked heavy forced selling, with reports of $400M+ in crypto liquidations adding downside pressure (CryptoNews). The drop was compounded by negative flow dynamics after Strategy’s reported BTC sale and signs that ETF flows turned negative, weighing on sentiment and pushing BTC toward multi-month lows (Decrypt).
