Spot

<p>Bitcoin price news is mostly positive today. BTC pumped 2% in the past day and is now back around $64,000. The token briefly touched $63,530 on July 10 before recovering, and is now trading at approximately $63,780, up about 2.2% from the previous day’s close.</p>
<p>The recovery follows a volatile week. Bitcoin dropped below $61,000 earlier in the week but has since bounced. Bulls are defending the $63,000 level, and the market is showing signs of stabilization.</p>

<p>The outflows on July 9 are a setback, but the overall July trend has been more positive than June. The $265.7 million inflow on July 6 was one of the strongest days in weeks. The key question is whether inflows can become sustained.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strategy-s-216m-bitcoin-sale-not-from-the-monetization-program">Strategy’s $216M Bitcoin Sale: Not From the Monetization Program</h2>
<p>Breaking news: Strategy’s recent $216 million Bitcoin sale did not come from its newly approved $1.25 billion BTC Monetization Program.</p>
<p>According to VanEck’s Matthew Sigel, the sale was classified as a dividend payment. The monetization program remains completely untouched.</p>
<p>That means Strategy still has the full&nbsp;<strong>$1.25 billion</strong>&nbsp;reserve-building selling capacity available. This means Strategy has multiple ways to sell Bitcoin, not just through the monetization program.</p>
<p><strong>Why this matters:</strong>&nbsp;The market had assumed the $216 million sale was part of the larger monetization program. It was not. Strategy still has $1.25 billion in dry powder. That is both a potential source of selling pressure and a sign of the company’s continued commitment to Bitcoin.</p>

<p><strong>Key observations:</strong></p>
<p><strong>The FVG (Fair Value Gap):</strong>&nbsp;The chart highlights two Fair Value Gaps labeled “FVG.” The first FVG sits between roughly $90,000 and $95,000; a gap left during the rapid move higher. The second FVG is in the $70,000-$72,000 range. These gaps often act as magnets for price.</p>
<p><strong>The descending channel:</strong>&nbsp;Bitcoin has been trading in a descending channel since the all-time high near $100,000. The upper trendline sits near $85,000, and the lower trendline is around $60,000. Price is currently in the middle of the channel, testing support.</p>
<p><strong>Key levels:</strong>&nbsp;The chart shows a high near&nbsp;<strong>$97,958 and a low near $57,808</strong>. The current price is roughly halfway between those extremes. A break above $65,000 would signal strength. A break below $60,000 would signal weakness.</p>
<p><strong>What Lucky is watching:</strong>&nbsp;The chart indicates that Bitcoin is at a decision point. The market will decide which direction the next major move takes. The FVGs above means that price may eventually fill those gaps, but the timing is uncertain.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="macro-news-iran-and-the-assassination-plot">Macro News: Iran and the Assassination Plot</h2>
<p>Recent U.S.-Iran clashes and an alleged assassination plot against former President Trump have rattled markets. Bitcoin dropped alongside oil spikes as geopolitical risk returned.</p>
<p>The Fear and Greed Index sits at&nbsp;<strong>28</strong>&nbsp;– still in “Fear” territory. That is an improvement from the extreme fear readings below 20, but it shows that traders remain cautious.</p>

<p><strong>Our take:</strong>&nbsp;Bitcoin is holding above $63,000, which is constructive. The $95 million ETF outflow is a setback, but July flows have been more positive than June. The descending channel indicates more consolidation ahead.</p>
<p>A break above $65,000 would be the strongest signal bulls have had in weeks.</p>
