The Lead

Bitcoin trades at $62,671 after a nearly 2 percent daily drop on $28.7 billion volume, with extreme fear at a Fear & Greed reading of 14 and MVRV at 1.18 showing holders only modestly in profit. Exchange inflows have turned positive again, adding fresh supply while liquidations cleared some leverage without resetting sentiment.[1][2] The US-Iran deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz eases one narrow sanctions channel for crypto, while new Fed Chair Warsh dropped forward guidance, held rates at 3.50-3.75 percent, and shifted projections toward possible hikes amid a firmer dollar and higher yields.[3][4] The ignored contradiction sits in the gap between network resilience and market distribution: hashrate holds near prior levels with a routine difficulty rebound ahead, yet price weakness plus exchange inflows point to selling pressure that no macro relief has reversed.[5] How long can miners and holders absorb distribution before the next leg lower becomes self-reinforcing?
