Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) fell 1.6% over the past 24 hours as broader risk sentiment weakened amid geopolitical headlines, with CoinDesk noting BTC was “not fully out of danger” after Trump warned of further Iran strikes. At the same time, The Block reported continued focus on ETF flow dynamics and debate around “death spiral” fears as the price wobbled, which likely added to near-term caution.
