Why was Bitcoin down on Jul 25, 2026, 11:34 AM UTC?

Bitcoin is down 1.41% over 24h with minimal intraday movement (0.06-0.12%), suggesting consolidation rather than a driven move. The news mix is scattered—some negative (EU sanctions on crypto, regulatory pressure from Senate Dems) and some neutral/positive (funding rounds, M&A activity)—so no single narrative clearly explains the modest decline; this appears to be normal daily volatility on a relatively stable price.
