Bitcoin trades flat near sixty thousand as fear persists without fresh catalyst.
The Lead
Bitcoin sits in a low-conviction stall at sixty thousand dollars where exhausted sellers meet buyers unwilling to step up. Extreme fear readings sit beside only modest unrealized gains yet the market shows no rush to reprice either way. The ignored tension is that energy markets and yields have eased without any corresponding lift in risk appetite or dollar liquidity demand that would normally accompany such relief. This leaves Bitcoin exposed to a sudden shift in positioning once the current quiet breaks. What happens to flows when the next macro data point forces a choice between holding or exiting?
