Why Bitcoin is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.1% over the past hour as risk sentiment weakened after September CPI came in hotter than expected, pressuring BTC alongside broader markets. The move was reinforced by a cautious regulatory backdrop, including a UK court ruling that Chinese law applies to claims tied to a £4B Bitcoin fraud case, which can weigh on investor confidence.
