Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin fell ~1.5% over the past hour as macro-driven selling and derivatives pressure picked up after a hotter-than-expected US PCE inflation print, which Cointelegraph linked to a drop toward $58K and liquidations. Broader bearish positioning also persisted amid expectations of further downside following steep monthly declines, as noted by Decrypt.
