Why was Bitcoin down on Jul 25, 2026, 9:31 AM UTC?

Bitcoin is down 1.63% over 24h with minimal intraday movement (±0.11% in 15min), suggesting consolidation rather than directional pressure. The news mix is neutral-to-mixed: regulatory concerns (White House crypto limits, EU Russia sanctions) could weigh slightly negative, but institutional adoption signals (LMAX sale talks, B2C2 negotiations) are constructive; no single headline appears to be driving the modest decline, pointing instead to general market conditions or technical factors.
