Institutional Deleveraging Keeps Bitcoin Under Pressure

Sentiment bounce lacks support from flows or technicals

Bitcoin briefly dipped below $100K last week after three straight weeks of pressure.

That drop didn’t last long buyers quickly stepped in every time, pushing the price back above $100K, and over the weekend Bitcoin traded higher again.

The question now is whether this bounce marks the start of a recovery or just a pause before more weakness. In other words, is $100K becoming a solid floor, or will we see another leg down?

In today’s issue, we look at the broader leverage trends driving institutional risk appetite and examine whether ETF flows and technical momentum provide any real support for Bitcoin’s price.
