$79,604

▲ +1.31% (24h) · -2.06% (1h)

Bitcoin is down 2.06% in the past hour despite being up 1.31% over 24 hours, suggesting intraday volatility rather than a sustained directional move. The recent news is mostly positive (privacy coin rally, tokenized securities roadmaps, El Salvador validation) and doesn't clearly explain the short-term dip—this appears to be technical selling or profit-taking after the recent $81k move.
