In a sharp reversal of market sentiment, Bitcoin has faced intense selling pressure, driving its price down by 16% since the start of the week.

Bitcoin stood at $118.11 (at close June 5, 2026) following the weekly retracement.

His remarks on the trajectory of US monetary policy will be critical in determining whether digital assets can find a bottom or if further liquidation toward deeper support levels is imminent.

According to reports, traders are increasingly rotating liquidity into equity-linked and pre-IPO perpetual contracts, which may explain the price stagnation despite ongoing institutional accumulation.
