Why was Bitcoin down on Aug 8, 2026, 1:46 PM UTC?

$64,966

▼ -0.40% (24h) · -0.01% (1h)

Bitcoin's minimal price movement (-0.4% over 24h) doesn't appear directly driven by the news. While the regulatory progress (Clarity Act voting) and institutional adoption (T. Rowe Price adding memecoins) are positive, they're offset by negative infrastructure concerns (Lightning exploit) and some crypto sector pullbacks (Trump Media deal scrapped). The flat short-term action suggests this is likely technical consolidation rather than a news-driven move.
