<\/span>Why Is Bitcoin Down Today? April 02, 202<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>6<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin is trading at $66,400, down 3.01% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin initially moved higher after Donald Trump\u2019s remarks<\/strong> suggesting a pause in tensions with Iran, which briefly improved risk sentiment across global markets. However, the rally failed to sustain as rising oil prices<\/strong>, continued geopolitical uncertainty, and weaker-than-expected U.S. ISM data<\/strong> weighed on sentiment. The soft ISM reading signaled economic concerns and added pressure to risk assets, including crypto. Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows<\/strong>, indicating a temporary slowdown in institutional demand and contributing to the broader risk-off tone<\/strong> seen across markets.<\/p>

<\/span>Technical & Sentiment Analysis <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin has continued to trade range-bound<\/strong>, with price repeatedly bouncing from the $65K\u2013$66K support zone<\/strong> over the past sessions. However, the structure is starting to weaken as each bounce shows reduced momentum, suggesting the support area may soon come under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a technical perspective, the lower timeframes are leaning bearish<\/strong>, with price struggling to establish higher highs and forming a compressing structure near support. If selling pressure increases, a break below the $65K\u2013$66K region could trigger further downside continuation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the upside, $69K remains the key resistance level<\/strong>. Bitcoin would need to reclaim and hold above this zone to invalidate the short-term bearish bias and potentially shift momentum back toward the bulls. Until then, the market continues to show signs of weakness within the current range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
