$64,151

▼ -1.75% (24h) · +0.30% (1h)

Bitcoin is down 1.75% over 24h but relatively stable in the short term (-0.04% in 15min, +0.3% in 1h), suggesting consolidation rather than directional conviction. The news mix—regulatory sanctions on Iran, Tether freezes, and a Korea rate hike—likely contributed to mild downward pressure, though none constitute a major catalyst for the observed pullback from the monthly high; this appears more driven by bear-driven profit-taking after recent strength.
