Bitcoin is essentially flat over 15 minutes and slightly down over 24 hours despite moderately bullish news (Goldman Sachs' NEOS acquisition, Fed rate pause expectations). The positive headlines suggest upward pressure, but the modest price decline suggests this news is being priced in gradually rather than driving sharp moves—typical for established institutions entering crypto markets, which are often already anticipated.
