Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.1% over the past hour as traders reacted to renewed downside pressure with BTC re-testing its February low for a third time, a setup that often triggers defensive positioning and selling, as highlighted by CoinDesk’s live markets coverage. The move was likely amplified by forced selling tied to a broader wave of liquidations after Bitcoin triggered roughly $792 million in liquidations, according to U.Today.
