Bitcoin equilibrium persists amid easing energy volatility and steady network metrics.
The Lead
Bitcoin sits in low-conviction balance at current levels, where modest exchange outflows and contained liquidations have failed to lift price despite holders sitting near breakeven on average. The ignored risk is that geopolitics and policy divergence have eased energy volatility without removing the underlying inflation pressure or dollar strength, leaving Bitcoin exposed to any reversal in flows or renewed macro tightening that could force distribution from still-underwater positions. The hard question is whether this equilibrium holds once the Iran deal implementation tests and the next difficulty adjustment land together.
