Bitcoin bias flipped 8 times to neutral on August 18, 2026
Bitcoin climbed back above $64,000, partly driven by a sharp short squeeze that resulted in over $56 million in liquidations, while a rebound in Bitcoin ETF inflows led by BlackRock and Fidelity added further support. However, some analysts are pointing to potential warning signs, including elevated Treasury yield hurdles and reduced crypto credit availability, suggesting the rally may face headwinds.
