Bitcoin's price has fallen below $71,000, retreating 7% from its recent high of $76,000. The decline follows rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions and higher-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index data, which also affected U.S. equities. Despite the drop, analysts highlight that Bitcoin's bullish momentum remains intact, supported by sustained buying from U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs.
Market data indicates that Bitcoin's long leverage levels are low, minimizing the risk of cascading liquidations even if prices fall further. Additionally, rising inflation concerns have negatively impacted fixed-income returns, potentially prompting a shift of capital from gold to Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency's perpetual funding rates remain below neutral, suggesting that the recent rally is driven by spot demand rather than speculative derivatives trading.
