Bitcoin is currently trading above $63,000, down sharply from an October peak above $126,000 as institutional positioning shifts. <\/p>\n
Analysts at JPMorgan noted a “broad retreat in devaluation trade by both retail and institutional investors,” citing easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran as a catalyst driving down the geopolitical premium in both bitcoin and gold. <\/p>\n BREAKING: JPMORGAN SAYS BITCOIN TRADING GROWTH WILL ACCELERATE. pic.twitter.com\/asSIFD0TC2<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Hunters for crypto-news Currently, gold ETFs lost $20 billion in the week to June 5. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $2.1 billion in outflows in June alone, erasing most of the previous year’s inflows. However, not everyone reads these numbers the same way, and this is where the real trade lives.<\/p>\n Fabian Dory, CIO of Swiss digital assets bank Sygnum, believes the outflow likely reflects the unwinding of cash-and-carry arbitrage rather than an outright capitulation. According to him, institutions are closing hedged futures positions as the underlying premium narrows rather than fleeing crypto. <\/p>\n Stablecoin exchange flows and supply remain normal, which supports Dora’s reading. <\/p>\n Learn: The best crypto to diversify your portfolio<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin is trying to build a base in the low $60,000s after a violent pullback last May. $60,000 is also a critical spot level and previous short-term support, with higher passive demand clustered around $59,000, a level that would represent a full return to pre-rally accumulation zones.<\/p>\n The technical setup is a classic post-parabolic consolidation: momentum is broken, sentiment is split, volume is drying up. The market is either creating a leverage washout bottom or setting up for a deeper macro-driven pullback.

Until we see a close below $59,000 with a re-opening of high volumes, the bottom will still hold. <\/p>\n\n
