Bitcoin is holding $60,000 not on strength but on exhaustion, ARP Digital says The market that dragged bitcoin off $65,000 this week didn’t sell it hard.
It just stopped showing up
Bitcoin closed the week near $62,600 after failing to reclaim $65,000, and Yusuf Fakhro, a partner at Bahrain-based ARP Digital, reads that through the market’s plumbing rather than the Fed headline that nudged it lower. The ETF bid that powered July’s recovery has stalled, flipping to net outflows of nearly 4,000 BTC on the week after a run of steady inflows. The rest of the tape has gone quiet to the point of dormancy.
July logged the lowest average daily spot volume since November 2023. CME open interest sits at 2023 levels. Perpetual-futures positioning has stalled near 300,000 BTC.
