Bitcoin pared some of its losses, returning to $70,000 during the European morning after falling as low as $68,800. Still, BTC remained about 3% lower in the last 24 hours. Altcoins suffered greater losses, with the CoinDesk 20 Index’s measurement of the broader crypto market down over 3.5%. Explanations for the slide range from profit-taking following the rally earlier in the week to a dip in Donald Trump’s election victory odds on Polymarket. Traders have also been looking at tech earnings, tensions between Iran and Israel and a sharp rise in U.K. gilt yields following the roll-out of the government budget earlier this week, Quinn Thompson, founder of crypto hedge fund Lekker Capital, told CoinDesk.
