Bitcoin’s $64K rebound has three days before its next big challenge threatens to derail momentum
Поделиться:
Bitcoin traded near $64,100 after a 2.6% seven-day gain but with 24-hour volume 21% below recent average and futures open interest near $47.3 billion; US spot Bitcoin ETFs showed tentative support with $90.4M net inflows on July 10 and major ETF contributions earlier in the week. The July 14 US CPI and Fed rate probabilities (64.6% chance to hold on July 29, markets pricing a ~50.9% chance of 3.75%-4.00% by September) alongside rising Treasury yields (2-year 4.21%, 10-year 4.56%) are the key macro catalysts that could either extend the rebound or trigger a selloff if inflation surprises to the upside.

Что в фокусе у трейдеров?
Bitcoin traded near $64,100 on Saturday as the clock ticked toward a key test for its rebound. June's US consumer price index is due at 8:30 a.m. ET on July 14, leaving the market with about three days before the next major macro catalyst.
The largest crypto asset had gained about 2.6% over seven days, according to CryptoSlate market data, but 24-hour volume was running 21% below its recent average. Bitcoin has rebounded, but buyers have yet to fully commit.
The scheduled inflation report will hit a rates market that makes that gap harder to ignore.
Futures-derived probabilities using CME FedWatch methodology put a 64.6% chance on the Federal Reserve holding its 3.50%-3.75% target range on July 29 and a 35.4% chance on a quarter-point hike.
Markets put a 50.9% chance on rates rising to 3.75%-4.00% by September, with another 18.8% chance of a 4.00%-4.25% range. July now looks too early for the next Fed move.
CPI will decide whether later easing hopes get another opening or whether hike risk becomes the stronger force.
ETF demand has offered only tentative support. US spot Bitcoin funds took in a net $90.4 million on July 10 after losing a combined $180.2 million over the prior two sessions, fund flow data showed.
Bitcoin futures open interest was near $47.3 billion, with modest positive funding and short liquidations dominating the previous 24 hours. That combination points to active positioning and only modest long exposure.
Three CPI paths for Bitcoin
An upside inflation surprise would be the hardest test. The two-year Treasury yield ended July 10 at 4.21% and the 10-year at 4.56%, both higher on the day, according to Treasury data.
A hotter print could lift yields and the dollar from around the 101 area, raise hike probabilities and put fresh Bitcoin longs at risk if ETF buyers retreat.
An inline result would leave the rebound dependent on flows. With leverage orderly and ETF demand positive for only one session, holding $64,000 would require buyers to keep absorbing supply after the macro event passes.
A downside surprise would give later easing expectations room to recover. Falling yields and a weaker dollar could help ETF demand extend the rebound, though current probabilities leave that as the lower-confidence branch before the report.
A split between headline and core inflation could produce the sharpest two-way trade. The first durable signal will be whether Fed probabilities, Treasury yields and the dollar move together.
The second will be whether the next ETF flow confirms the move or exposes the $64,000 rebound as another short-covering pause.
