Why Bitcoin is down 1.7% today
Analysis
Bitcoin slid 1.7% over the past 24 hours as macro pressure increased after a speech by Kevin Warsh, with rate-hike odds reportedly rising to 57%, weighing on risk assets like BTC (AMBCrypto). Sentiment also took a hit after an emergency warning about a newly identified critical flaw in the Bitcoin Lightning Network, which can spur short-term risk-off positioning even if it’s at the layer-2 level (Decrypt).
