Why Bitcoin is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.3% over the past hour as traders digested macro uncertainty after weaker-than-expected US jobs data, which can trigger short-term risk-off positioning even when BTC has been testing higher levels, as noted by The Block. Additional caution may have come from security-related headlines about attackers targeting unpatched Core Lightning nodes, which can weigh on sentiment around Bitcoin’s Lightning ecosystem (BeInCrypto).
