Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% in the last hour

Analysis

Bitcoin slipped about 1.5% over the past hour as broader risk sentiment weakened, with CoinDesk noting concerns around possible yen intervention weighing on risk assets and pushing investors toward gold. Selling pressure was likely amplified by elevated liquidation activity highlighted by CoinGape, which can accelerate downside moves as leveraged positions get forced out.
