Why was Bitcoin down on Sep 4, 2026, 10:49 PM UTC?
$79,681
▼ -1.91% (24h) · -0.14% (1h)
Bitcoin is down 1.91% over 24h following a surprise nonfarm payrolls report that sent it below $80K, suggesting macroeconomic data remains a key price driver. The recent positive news (UK ETN access, El Salvador confirmation, privacy coin rally) doesn't appear to be directly causing today's decline—this looks like a technical pullback or reaction to the jobs data rather than fundamental headwinds.
