Why Bitcoin is down 1.5% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 1.5% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened amid renewed US–Iran strikes, which coincided with a wave of liquidations that pushed BTC briefly below $77K. While longer-term narratives around institutional positioning and the “debasement trade” remain constructive, the immediate move looked driven by geopolitics and forced selling pressure rather than bullish ETF/portfolio commentary.
