Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) fell about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened amid headlines around geopolitical tension and broader “safe-haven” volatility, with BeInCrypto noting a sharp selloff across gold and silver tied to Iran’s Bab el-Mandeb threat. At the same time, ETF-related nerves appeared to weigh on BTC, as BeInCrypto reported panic around claims of BlackRock selling $185M in Bitcoin alongside cycle-low trading activity.
