  • Inflation fears
  • Interest rate speculation
  • Geopolitical tensions China.org+2

🌐 Broader Market Context

While global stocks recovered losses, particularly in AI sectors, Bitcoin failed to benefit from improved risk appetite. Analysts note its decoupling from traditional markets raises questions about its role as:
