Why Bitcoin is down 2.1% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 2.1% over the past 24 hours as broader risk sentiment weakened after oil prices spiked on reports of Iranian tanker attacks, a macro shock that CoinDesk noted coincided with BTC dipping below $84,000. The decline was also accompanied by regulatory friction in Europe, with Cointelegraph reporting that Bitcoin.de’s trading remains halted after Germany’s regulator rejected its MiCA application, adding to near-term uncertainty.
