Bitcoin bias flipped 38 times to neutral on August 3, 2026
Bitcoin is under pressure from renewed risk-averse sentiment across crypto markets, as prices extend declines alongside Ethereum. Institutional news adds to caution: Italy's largest bank cut its Bitcoin ETF exposure sharply, while new ETF filings and losses at crypto-linked firms highlight ongoing volatility. The asset is also being sold first when margin calls hit, as illustrated by a $20 billion AI fund collapse.
