Bitcoin has fallen nearly 50% from its October peak above $126,000 and is trading below $65,000. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe said BTC is holding the 200-week moving average and is “refusing to drop deeper,” arguing that sell pressure remains limited despite multiple negative headlines. He cited the Iran conflict, concerns around STRC tied to Strategy’s fundraising for additional BTC purchases, spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, and renewed inflation alongside a lack of Fed rate cuts. Van de Poppe added that holding above the $60,000 support suggests the downturn may be largely finished.

Bitcoin has been trading around $64,000, struggling to break out of a range that has held for weeks. Spot bitcoin ETF outflows have now extended to a sixth consecutive week, adding to the muted price action. Investors are watching whether flows and macro conditions shift enough to provide a clearer catalyst, according to the source summary.

Mediators Qatar and Pakistan said the United States and Iran have agreed on a roadmap toward a final deal within 60 days. They said technical talks began immediately. The mediators added that a high-level committee backed the plan, setting the stage for the negotiations.

The cryptocurrency market is entering the final stretch of June on a highly cautious note, balancing underlying network growth against massive institutional outflows.

Franklin Templeton has filed for SEC effectiveness for two proposed ETFs that combine broad U.S. equity exposure with a rules-based bitcoin allocation funded through dividend reinvestment. The June 18 filing describes portfolios that start at 95% equities and 5% bitcoin exposure, with dividends systematically routed into bitcoin-linked holdings over time.

Professional investors have yet to return to the bitcoin market in force, and a key exchange-pricing gauge continues to show caution among U.S.-based institutions. Analysts say the prolonged discount on Coinbase relative to Binance signals weak institutional demand. Retail participation, meanwhile, has continued to support overall market activity.

TradingView analysts say Bitcoin’s latest rebound may still be a retest of resistance rather than a confirmed reversal. BTC has struggled to regain key technical levels, leaving the recovery vulnerable to another pullback. The analysts argue that only a sustained move back above major resistance zones would weaken the bearish case.
