$65,442

▲ +1.25% (24h) · +0.05% (1h)

Bitcoin is essentially flat over the short term (0.05% in 15min/1h) with modest gains over 24h (+1.25%), suggesting consolidation rather than directional conviction. The news is mixed—positive macro developments (Saylor's cash raise, regulatory progress in Brazil/Nigeria) don't obviously explain the minor price action, while mentions of "volmageddon" and institutional tech selling suggest underlying volatility rather than a clear catalyst driving the current move.
