Why Bitcoin is down 3.8% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 3.8% over the past 24 hours as hotter-than-expected US PCE inflation data pressured risk assets and triggered a wave of leveraged liquidations that pushed BTC toward the $58K area. Selling pressure was also amplified by renewed concerns around ETF-related outflows and “panic selling” dynamics as BTC slipped back below $60K.
