The post Bitcoin sits in deep value while ETF outflows keep pressure on BTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin remains in deep value territory after trading below two major on-chain cost-basis levels for about five months, according to Glassnode. The firm said BTC is still below the True Market Mean near $76,600 and the short-term holder cost basis near $72,200. Summary Bitcoin trades below key cost-basis levels, keeping deep value conditions active but still technically unconfirmed. ETF outflows have slowed, yet weak volumes show institutional demand has not fully returned. Long-term holder losses remain elevated, leaving sell-side pressure as Bitcoin’s main recovery barrier. These levels matter because they track the average price paid by active investors and recent buyers. When Bitcoin trades below both, many market participants hold coins at a loss. Glassnode said this phase can support long-term accumulation, but it has not yet confirmed a market bottom. Bitcoin recently

The post Bitcoin Could Gain if Fed Backstops the $75 Trillion Equity Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto News Bitcoin (BTC) could be an unexpected beneficiary if the U.S. Federal Reserve is eventually forced to buy equity exchange-traded funds to defend a sliding stock market, according to analysts weighing an increasingly discussed scenario. The argument rests on the sheer size of the U.S. equity market — now roughly $75 trillion — which many view as too large and too systemically important to be left in a prolonged bear market. Should the central bank step in with fresh liquidity, risk assets and altcoins have historically absorbed the overflow. Our reading is that any such intervention would echo the 2021 easing cycle that lifted crypto broadly and reset risk appetite across the board. The backdrop is a stock market that has expanded at a pace few expected. U.S. equities have grown about 68% over the past five years and added roughly $6 trillion in value this year alo
The post Bitcoin Holds Near $62K as Extreme Fear Grips Global Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto News Global risk appetite steadied on Thursday as South Korea’s KOSPI staged a sharp reversal and Bitcoin (BTC) held near $62,000. The benchmark index peaked at 7,539, a gain of nearly 4% from Wednesday’s close of 7,246.79, pulling it back above the threshold that had confirmed a bear market only a day earlier. The rebound handed Asian equities brief relief after a punishing midweek slide. For crypto traders tracking correlated risk assets, the move mattered, as digital assets and altcoins have moved in tandem with equities during recent volatility spikes, and Bitcoin’s grip on the $62,000 area mirrored the equity bounce even as sentiment stayed fragile across markets. The rebound followed a brutal Wednesday session. The KOSPI fell 5.35% to close at 7,246.79, its lowest level since May 20, sinking more than 20% below its June 22 record of 9,114.55 — the drawdown threshold t
The post Bitcoin demand still unable to outpace issuance as recovery remains fragile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Compared to the tumultuous price action of early June, Bitcoin [BTC] has faced less volatility and liquidations at the start of July. However, this does not necessarily mean it is a month for recovery. There is no getting around the fact that Bitcoin demand has dramatically dropped. The spot ETF flows have been positive for the past three trading days, from July 2, but have been overwhelmingly negative since mid-May, with just three days of net inflows. Evidence continues to point toward a lack of Bitcoin buyer conviction Calculated as the difference between new issuance and the supply of Bitcoin that has been inactive for over a year, the apparent demand metric helps track whether accumulation trends among long-term holders are enough to absorb the new supply created by the network.

Crypto News The world’s largest asset manager has pared back its most AI-exposed equity positions, its global fixed-income chief said this week, describing the move as a rebalancing rather than a retreat. The firm trimmed holdings in companies whose earnings lean most heavily on the artificial-intelligence buildout, and separately cut a meaningful slice of its broader equity exposure. Management framed the decision as trimming winners, not abandoning the theme. Because the manager oversees more client money than any rival, its positioning draws outsized scrutiny, sharpening an existing debate over whether market concentration in a handful of AI leaders has stretched too far ahead of underlying earnings. The scale behind those comments is what gives them weight. The manager reported a record 13.9 trillion dollars in assets under management as of March 31, according to its regulatory f
