Bitcoin experienced a significant downturn this week, falling below $75,000 and triggering over $2.2 billion in liquidations, fueled by US sanctions against crypto platforms linked to Iran and broader macroeconomic concerns. Multiple sources report strong sell pressure across spot, derivatives, and ETF markets, with indicators like the 14-day RSI in oversold territory and a rising Supply in Loss (%) suggesting potential capitulation. ETF outflows and declining futures open interest exacerbate the bearish sentiment. However, analysts at Bernstein and Fundstrat predict a bottom around $60,000-$77,000, citing institutional inflows, network activity, and potential shifts in US policy. They suggest the current dip may represent a final entry point before a potential 'sovereign shift' for Bitcoin. While bearish signals are prevalent – including a bearish MACD and price hugging the lower Bollinger Band – some indicators point to potential short-term rebounds. The market is currently exhibiting 'extreme fear', but Bitwise notes a record low MVRV z-score, indicating possible undervaluation.
