Why Bitcoin is down 3.8% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 3.8% over the past 24 hours as heightened geopolitical tensions sparked a broad risk-off move and forced selling, with reports of $293M–$400M+ in crypto liquidations accelerating the drop (CryptoNews; CoinGape). Adding to the pressure, Decrypt reported that Strategy sold BTC and that Bitcoin ETF flows turned negative for the year, weakening demand and sentiment.
