Bitcoin is maintaining range-bound trading near $71,000, with conflicting market forces created by geopolitical tensions and monetary policy uncertainty. Analysts point out that the market is shifting toward defensive strategies, with spot ETF inflows slowing and derivatives data showing increased selling pressure. Despite strong institutional demand and Bitcoin holding a key support level near $67,000, a breakout above $72,000 is considered necessary to resume the uptrend and move toward $82,000.
