Why was Bitcoin down on Aug 1, 2026, 6:22 AM UTC?

Bitcoin's modest 24h decline of -2.15% appears unrelated to the recent news coverage, which focuses on security exploits and structural market issues rather than immediate price catalysts. The recent headlines about cold wallet attacks and self-custody concerns may be contributing to broader sentiment headwinds, but the small intraday moves (-0.03% to -0.18%) suggest this is likely technical consolidation or normal volatility rather than a reaction to any single news event.
