▲ +0.60% (24h) · +0.71% (1h)
Bitcoin is showing modest positive momentum (+0.58-0.71% in shorter timeframes) despite mixed fundamental conditions. The recent cold-wallet attack affecting 4,500 addresses and mining difficulty decline suggest underlying stress, but the price action appears driven by technical factors rather than the news—these are negative developments that haven't yet triggered selling pressure.
