Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 1.6% over the past 24 hours as hotter-than-expected inflation data pressured risk assets, briefly pushing BTC below $80,000. The move appears driven primarily by the macro backdrop rather than crypto-specific developments, though discussions around custody/credit and longer-term security concerns may have added to cautious sentiment.
