BTC price action stays “very choppy”
Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD extending losses with up to 2% daily downside.
US stocks opened in the red, with the Nasdaq Composite Index also down nearly 2% at the time of writing. Fresh military strikes on Iran fueled the risk-asset retreat, while tech stocks continued to see selling pressure.
Trading resource The Kobeissi Letter also flagged weakness arising from earnings disappointments, with Netflix shedding over 10% to start the US session.

“Dump into passive demand, OI increases with shorts piling up while spot starts buying which leads to bounce.”
Trader Daan Crypto Trades argued that current behavior was “typical” of summer.
“Very choppy few days up, few days down kind of price action the last few weeks. No real action anywhere really,” he summarized.
Bitcoin seals key bear-market repeat
Trader Jelle, meanwhile, remained optimistic, seeing range lows holding.

“The necessary technical milestone has been achieved,” he confirmed.
“Which technically indicates that the majority of the anticipated move has already happened.”
