▼ -1.44% (24h) · -0.15% (1h)
Bitcoin is down 1.44% over 24h with minimal intraday movement (-0.02% in 15min), suggesting consolidation rather than directional momentum. The recent news is broadly positive (major institutional adoption, exchange funding, infrastructure expansion) and doesn't explain the mild downside, indicating this is likely technical profit-taking or short-term liquidity dynamics rather than fundamental weakness.
