Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) slipped 1.1% over the past hour as broader crypto risk-off pressure hit the market, with reports noting a sharp marketwide drawdown and BTC dipping toward the $63K area. The move was amplified by heavy derivatives unwinds, as roughly $700M in liquidations were reported across major coins ahead of the FOMC, which likely added to short-term selling momentum.
