Treasury yields eased, U.S. equities finished the quarter at record highs and <span>gold<\/span> weakened, yet <span>bitcoin<\/span> continued to retreat, reinforcing a divergence that has become one of the defining characteristics of the current market environment.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the fourth occurrence during the current cycle in which <span>bitcoin<\/span> has declined alongside falling Treasury yields. Analysts argue the pattern suggests that selling pressure is coming primarily from within the <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> market rather than from broader macroeconomic stress, resulting in <span>bitcoin<\/span> temporarily breaking from its usual correlation with equities except during periods of widespread market turbulence.<\/p>\n<p> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> is also no longer behaving primarily as a risk-on asset, with Bitfinex attributing the move toward the $58,000 level to persistent mechanical selling while the <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> remains well below its all-time high.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Has the Options Reset Failed to Stabilize the Market?<\/h2>\n<p>The June 26 quarterly options expiration removed one of the year\u2019s largest derivatives positions but did not change the broader market structure. Although a significant portion of options open interest expired, dealers remain positioned below the estimated level where options positioning shifts from stabilizing price moves to amplifying them, known as the gamma flip, near $68,000, leaving the market in a negative gamma regime that can amplify price swings.<\/p>\n<p>Other derivatives indicators point to a similar conclusion, as downside protection continues to dominate options positioning while perpetual funding remains relatively subdued and futures open interest has shown little evidence of aggressive new <span>leverage<\/span> entering the market, suggesting steady selling pressure rather than widespread speculative excess.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis also highlights continued institutional outflows, with U.S. spot <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span> recording a seventh consecutive week of net redemptions totaling approximately $1.79 billion during the week ending June 26. Blackrock\u2019s IBIT and Fidelity\u2019s FBTC accounted for much of the selling despite previously acting as significant buyers during earlier market declines.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy is identified as another potential source of selling pressure, as the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategys-bitcoin-sale-authorization-reduces-risk-of-forced-btc-selling-analysts-say\/\">authorization<\/a> to sell up to $1.25 billion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> to support its U.S. dollar reserve and other obligations creates a formal mechanism through which additional holdings could be converted into cash if necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Can the $53,000 Realized Price Hold?<\/h2>\n<p>With derivatives activity relatively quiet, on-chain metrics now provide the clearest indication of potential downside support. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s aggregate realized price, estimated by Bitfinex at around $53,000, is identified as the market\u2019s most important structural support, noting that extended trading below that level has historically coincided with the deepest phases of previous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bull-market-vs-bear-market\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bear markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Current holder behavior suggests the market has not yet reached full capitulation, as short-term holders remain underwater while long-term holders have also begun realizing losses, even as exchange reserves remain near multi-year lows and long-term holder supply continues to sit near record levels, indicating that patient investors have not broadly distributed their holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, several developments will determine whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> can stabilize, including sustained ETF inflows, any sales executed under Strategy\u2019s authorization, changes in perpetual futures positioning, and whether buyers defend the realized price. Until those indicators improve, the realized-price level remains the strongest structural support, although its durability depends on whether the current wave of mechanical selling begins to ease.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/why-bitcoin-retested-58k-despite-supportive-macro-backdrop\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin slipped near $58,000 even as Treasury yields eased, equities reached record highs, and gold weakened.
