Why was Bitcoin down on Sep 5, 2026, 2:55 AM UTC?

Bitcoin is down 1.42% over 24h with minimal intraday movement (-0.03% in 15min), suggesting consolidation rather than a strong directional push. The news mix is mostly positive (UK ETN listings, El Salvador validation) and neutral/negative (scam reports, NFP volatility), so **no single headline clearly explains the slight decline—this appears to be normal technical range-trading following recent volatility around the $80-81K level**.
