As we discussed on Monday, Bitcoin has started to show fragile signs of a potential recovery. Demand is slowly returning, and if it proves durable, we have outlined what that could mean for Bitcoin’s price path over the coming weeks.

That said, we are still waiting for confirmation of a genuine demand regime shift.

In the meantime, Bitcoin remains exposed to macro-driven turbulence. This week’s renewed trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union are a good example. When macro headlines drive markets, Bitcoin continues to react alongside other risk assets, even when its own fundamentals are starting to stabilize.

In environments like this, separating macro forces from Bitcoin-specific demand becomes essential. Doing so helps avoid overreacting to short-term price moves and reduces the risk of making allocation decisions based on noise rather than structure.

That’s the focus of this report.

Bitcoin Is Caught in an Indecisive Macro Regime

The Takeaway

Bitcoin’s recent volatility is not the result of a broken market structure, but of an indecisive macro environment. While early signs of improving demand have appeared, they remain fragile and unconfirmed.
