Bitcoin bias flipped 10 times to neutral on August 2, 2026
Bitcoin faces multiple headwinds as a failed soft fork proposal adds uncertainty, while regulatory actions like a Minnesota ATM ban and an SEC review of options approval weigh on sentiment. Market stress is also evident from a $15B stablecoin supply drop, a $16.3B Wall Street loss exposure with an August deadline, and liquidations of crypto option ETFs, suggesting liquidity constraints and risk-off behavior.
