Bitcoin slipped 1.1% over the past hour as traders digested ETF-flow and liquidity-driven selling dynamics highlighted in recent coverage. CoinDesk reported that market makers likely amplified downside during a sharp move toward $60,000, reinforcing short-term risk-off positioning, even as Cointelegraph noted Bernstein views the broader sell-off as a relatively “weak” bear case tied to flows rather than a fundamental breakdown.
