Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering just above $63,000 after sliding to $59,000 over the weekend, a move described as aligned with a bearish near-term outlook. June 8, 2026 saw attention shift to derivatives after CME's Bitcoin Volatility Index futures logged first block trades, while traders also watched for Strategy's SEC 8-K for recent BTC activity.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) logged $213.63M in net outflows on June 5, 2026, equal to about 3,580 BTC leaving the fund in a single session. Total net outflows across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs hit $325.66M that day, extending a 13-trading-day streak that has drawn $4.4Bn from the category. Bitcoin traded around $59,000–$61,000 near June 5, with $60,000 highlighted as a key support level amid ongoing redemptions.

A single whale purchased 1,656 BTC ($98.93M) at $59,734, close to bitcoin's June 5 intraday low near $59,100, and the position showed about $3.5M in paper gains within 48 hours as BTC rebounded toward $64,000. The coins were later transferred to Binance, a move often associated with potential selling or hedging, though it was not confirmed whether any sale occurred.

Bitcoin has rebounded to the low-$60,000 range after topping above $120,000 in the 2025 bull run, but a cycle-based chart argues the downturn may not be finished. Using prior peak-to-trough declines of 83.90% (post-2017) and 77.91% (post-2021), the analysis shows a comparable 78.92% drop could imply a low below $30,000, while an institution-adjusted scenario favors $52,000.

On June 7, 2026, on-chain analyst Ali Martinez said Bitcoin could be approaching a major bottom after the amount of BTC held at a loss rose to 10.46 million. He argued this condition has historically aligned with market troughs because holders tend to avoid realizing losses, which can ease selling pressure. By June 8, BTC traded at $63,042, about 6% above June 5 lows but still down 13.41% over the week.

On June 8, Bitcoin rose about 5% to $64,000 after Donald Trump said a U.S.-brokered Iran agreement was "almost complete" and suggested an announcement could come at the start of the new business week. BTC later slipped back toward $63,000 after touching resistance near $64,000, while traders continued to watch support at the June 5 low of $59,100 and nearby pivot levels around $62,500–$63,000.

Bitcoin rebounded toward $64,000, setting off roughly $320 million in short liquidations across the crypto market within a 15-minute burst. The move followed a 2026 low near $59,100 on June 5 and came after the prior week’s $1.57 billion liquidation wave tied to BTC slipping below $60,000.

Bitcoin rebounded about 3.7% from the $60K area after dipping to roughly $60.5K on June 5 and recovering to around $62.7K by June 8. Over the same stretch, futures open interest declined 6% from $1.65B to $1.55B while funding stayed positive, pointing to a move fueled more by short covering than by new leveraged longs. Key confirmation to watch is whether open interest begins rising alongside price while buy-side taker flow remains positive.
