On the surface, the drop in Bitcoin can be attributed to a few reasons:
The Fed's upcoming rate decision and rising hawkish expectations;
A rebound hitting resistance, with BTC peaking around the 80k mark before pulling back;
Tensions in the Middle East causing a panic sentiment in the market.

But the truth is clear: The Las Vegas 2026 Bitcoin Conference is happening, and it's a well-known tradition that BTC tends to dip during these events, and this time is no different.
