Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.1% over the past hour as broader selling pressure intensified, with CoinDesk noting the “plunge continues” and that the February $60,000 low is back in play—suggesting traders are leaning risk-off around key technical levels. Sentiment also weakened after Decrypt reported that a major bitcoin holder sold BTC, dragging related equities (Strategy shares) for a second day and reinforcing near-term distribution fears.
