Why was Bitcoin down on Jul 31, 2026, 4:28 PM UTC?
$62,841
▼ -3.03% (24h) · +0.61% (1h)
Bitcoin's 24h decline of -3.03% appears primarily driven by macro headwinds—rising US Treasury yields and weakness in US equities despite Asia's rebound suggest broader risk-off sentiment affecting risk assets. The crypto-specific news (regulatory approvals, Iran sanctions) doesn't clearly explain this particular downside move, so the sell-off likely reflects macro factors and technical liquidations rather than fundamentals specific to Bitcoin.
