Overview
- The price jumped toward $65,000–$65,500 after softer U.S. CPI and PPI prints in mid‑July but has dropped back to roughly $63,000–$64,000 as selling emerged.
- On‑chain data and exchange reports show long‑term holders, short‑term traders and whales used the bounce to take profits or cut losses, creating immediate overhead supply.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows were mixed, with large outflows followed by inflows over several sessions, and analysts say sustained, consistent ETF demand is needed to support a durable break higher.
- Renewed U.S. military strikes on Iran lifted the dollar and oil prices and prompted risk‑off moves that accelerated the crypto sell‑off and erased about $40 billion from the market's intraday peak.
- Traders point to a clear daily close above the $65,000–$67,200 resistance band and steady institutional (ETF) inflows as the key prerequisites for a lasting bullish continuation, with a decision zone near $68,000–$70,000.
