Why Bitcoin is down 2.0% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell about 2% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened amid a volatile month-end backdrop, with Cointelegraph highlighting pressure from rising US bond yields nearing a 20-year high. The drop was exacerbated by a sell-off below key levels that triggered liquidations, which CryptoPotato linked to renewed US–Iran strike headlines.
