Market commentary
CoinMarketCap AI commentary (attributed, not independently verified)
Bitcoin is down 0.56% to $81,968.31 in 24h, slightly underperforming a broadly flat crypto market, primarily driven by macro-sensitive sentiment and a lack of fresh institutional buying impetus. It shows a strong 24-hour correlation (88.9%) with gold, indicating a shared, rates-sensitive move.
