The Lead

Bitcoin market structure shows clear distribution at resistance that overrides longer term accumulation. CryptoQuant This means supply pressure is building in a way that fearful participants cannot offset with fresh capital. The outcome is fragile price action vulnerable to reversal on any selling intensification. At the same time geopolitical events in the middle east create conflicting forces on the asset. Conflict drives some use case for bitcoin in evading restrictions while pushing commodity prices higher to delay rate cuts globally. Reuters The risk most people are ignoring is how this macro lock in higher rates for longer may sap risk appetite across the board including for bitcoin. Network health stays robust with high hashrate and efficiency but that alone does not resolve the tension. How long will long term holders keep accumulating through this period without a macro shift?
