Why Bitcoin is down 2.2% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.2% over the past 24 hours as sentiment was pressured by reports of continued outflows from Bitcoin investment products, with Bitcoin funds shedding $264M last week, signaling softer near-term demand (Decrypt). Cointelegraph also noted Bernstein framing the recent sell-off as a “weakest bear case,” implying the move is more consistent with flow-driven weakness than a major fundamental shift.
