Bitcoin bias flipped 21 times to neutral on August 9, 2026
Bitcoin has recovered to the $65,000 area, supported by sustained ETF inflows and institutional buying such as Morgan Stanley's recent purchase. However, market attention is also on rising geopolitical tensions in the Hormuz Strait and the BIP 110 upgrade, which poses a hard-fork risk. Analysts also debate the possibility of an institutional bear market, while some predict large institutional inflows ahead.
