Why Bitcoin is down 1.2% in the last hour

Analysis

Bitcoin slipped 1.2% over the past hour as offshore traders appeared to pull back, creating short-term selling pressure despite continued bullish positioning from Wall Street, according to CoinDesk’s market analysis. The dip came even as longer-horizon sentiment got supportive headlines, with CryptoNews reporting a Trump-linked Truth Social filing for Bitcoin-related ETFs, which may not have immediately translated into spot buying in the last hour.
