Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 1.6% over the past 24 hours as macro uncertainty weighed on risk assets after the Fed, under new chair Kevin Warsh, held rates steady, dampening near-term appetite for higher-beta trades like BTC (CryptoPotato). The drop also coincided with renewed market worries about potential selling pressure tied to Strategy, which helped push BTC below the $65K area and to a week-to-date low near $64.5K (Cointelegraph).
