Why was Bitcoin down on Sep 4, 2026, 8:46 PM UTC?
$79,714
▼ -2.18% (24h) · +0.07% (1h)
Bitcoin's recent -2.18% decline over 24 hours appears driven primarily by the "surprise nonfarm payrolls print" mentioned in the news, which historically impacts risk assets and crypto. The current minimal 15min (-0.08%) and 1h (+0.07%) moves suggest the market has largely stabilized after that macro shock, with positive regulatory news (UK ETN listings) and El Salvador developments potentially providing some support but not reversing the broader pullback.
