Why Bitcoin is up 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 1.5% over the past hour as traders reacted to shifting narratives around near-term demand, with Citi highlighting that ETF flow dynamics and the “dearth of fresh investors” are a key driver of price action—potentially prompting positioning after recent weakness. The bounce also comes after a broader selloff that pushed BTC below $63,000, setting up a short-term rebound from depressed levels.
