Why Bitcoin is down 2.4% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.4% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened amid renewed geopolitical uncertainty, with reports that an Iran ceasefire collapse revived threats of a Hormuz blockade and pushed oil toward $75, weighing on BTC alongside ETF-flow headlines. CoinDesk also noted Japan’s sliding yen is prompting some companies to rotate into bitcoin and XRP, but that supportive narrative wasn’t enough to offset the broader risk-off tone.
