Despite a drop to $100,000<\/a>, the leading cryptocurrency managed to settle around $105,000, though analysts see its current state as unstable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Kronos Research analyst Dominic John, bitcoin\u2019s trading metrics indicate<\/a> strength, but \u201cthe structure remains fragile.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the fear and greed index at 55 [at the time of writing the figure is 62], sentiment has balanced; markets are in wait-and-see mode, now looking for a macro trigger or confirmation of the trend,\u201d he noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

HashKey Eco Labs CEO Kay Lu also said that digital gold is trading in a \u201cdelicate\u201d range around key support levels, where indecisive investors could panic and sell on a single piece of negative news.<\/p>\n

Key factors will be the US consumer price index (June 11) and the producer price index (June 12). The releases could hint at the next steps by the Fed<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the FedWatch Tool<\/a> from CME Group, traders currently expect the policy rate to remain at 4.25-4.50% with a probability of 99.9%.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is possible that no substantial market moves will occur before [the Federal Reserve meeting], unless trade talks in the United States make progress or run into obstacles,\u201d emphasised BTSE COO Jeff May.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A more optimistic view<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CryptoQuant technical analyst Carmelo Alem\u00e1n also questioned<\/a> whether the bullish thesis for this cycle still holds after the clash between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, these doubts quickly dissipate when analysing on-chain indicators, which show clear bullish signals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Among the positives, Alem\u00e1n highlighted the decline in bitcoin reserves on centralised exchanges. Over the past week they fell by 2.88% \u2014 from 2.43m BTC to 2.36m BTC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his view, this dynamic suggests reduced selling pressure and reflects investors\u2019 conviction in bitcoin as a store of value.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the realised capitalisation of the first cryptocurrency continues<\/a> to hit records: the metric reached a new all-time high of $934.88bn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis confirms steady bitcoin purchases and increased capital inflows, reinforcing long-term confidence,\u201d Alem\u00e1n explained. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition, there is continuous growth in UTXO<\/span> \u2014 more coins are being held across various volume and age bands of addresses.<\/p>\n
