Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.1% over the past 24 hours as it drifted back toward the $62,500 level, dampening hopes for a second straight up day and reinforcing a near-term risk-off tone in trading. Market sentiment was also shaped by ongoing focus on whether this pullback represents a “shallow” bear phase and if a durable bottom is in, keeping buyers cautious.
