Why was Bitcoin down on Jul 24, 2026, 11:16 PM UTC?

Bitcoin is essentially flat over 15 minutes and 1 hour (-0.01% and +0.02%), with a modest 1.58% decline over 24 hours. The recent news is mixed—regulatory concerns (EU sanctions, White House crypto limits) could weigh slightly negative, while institutional developments (LMAX sale exploration, B2C2 negotiations) are neutral to positive—but none of these stories appear significant enough to explain the small daily move; this looks like normal intraday volatility with no dominant catalyst.
