Why is crypto down today? Bitcoin down 0.95% as Binance outflows and fear weigh on market

Bitcoin fell about 0.95% over the last 24 hours to $77,016, and most of the market also dropped, with only 55 of 257 tracked coins rising. The most likely reasons are money leaving Binance after its hack and withdrawals reopened, and weak sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index at 37 (Fear). Bitcoin also failed to rise when oil fell, which suggests traders are not reacting to good news as they expected.
