Why Bitcoin is down 2.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.6% over the past 24 hours as a dip below key levels triggered heavy forced selling, with Cointelegraph reporting about $280M in BTC long liquidations as price slid under $84K. CoinDesk noted BTC later recovered from Asian-session lows alongside improved risk appetite tied to falling oil prices, but that rebound wasn’t enough to offset the earlier liquidation-driven drop.
