Why was Bitcoin down on Jul 24, 2026, 9:13 PM UTC?

Bitcoin is down 1.43% over 24h with minimal intraday movement, likely driven by technical selling pressure rather than the news flow. The headlines are mixed—some regulatory concerns (EU sanctions on crypto networks, Trump crypto limits discussions) could weigh slightly, but most news involves funding rounds and M&A activity unrelated to price direction. This appears to be modest consolidation in a sideways market rather than a reaction to specific catalysts.
