In a volatile session today, Bitcoin attempted to break above the $60,000 level but failed to hold. According to reports from crypto-economy.com, the cryptocurrency briefly climbed above $60,600 before slipping back toward $59,400. The reports also noted another $300 million outflow from BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
The moves come amid mixed risk sentiment, where geopolitical developments (U.S.-Iran diplomacy) boosted equities but failed to sustain a crypto breakout. Recent U.S. economic data, such as GDP growth of 2.1% in Q2 (official release on June 25), showed economic resilience, supporting traditional assets. However, continued ETF outflows suggest institutional caution despite the broader optimism.

Sign InNo direct crypto catalysts are on the near-term horizon. Markets are now digesting the Fed's bank stress test results (released June 24) and strong personal spending data from June 25. These macro factors may continue to support equities while Bitcoin faces resistance near $60,000 and support around $58,000. Investors remain on watch for a clear breakout to determine the next direction.
Update: In a new development, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced that its Digital Credit Capital Framework authorizes the sale of up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin, according to company reports. This announcement adds further selling pressure to the crypto market, especially as ETF outflows continue.
