Bitcoin's recent rally to $68,000 is under pressure as derivatives data signals bearish positioning and institutional selling persists. Despite a rebound in equities and easing geopolitical tensions, traders remain cautious. Derivatives data shows weak demand for leveraged long positions, with a two-month futures premium near 2% and a 17% delta skew toward put contracts, indicating a preference for downside protection.
Institutional selling has continued for 13 consecutive days, reflecting reduced conviction among large players. Rising oil prices and tighter monetary expectations have further dampened risk appetite, limiting Bitcoin's upward momentum. Without renewed institutional demand, Bitcoin's price movements remain reactive, constrained by macroeconomic signals and defined liquidity zones.
