Bitcoin bias flipped 8 times to neutral on August 16, 2026
Bitcoin is trading around $63K, but several factors are creating downward pressure. Exchange reserves are rising, ETF demand is slowing, and corporate treasury selling is undermining the market's structural support. Meanwhile, a large leveraged position could trigger forced exits if price boundaries break, even as some altcoins outperform.
