Bitcoin defence of $58,000 key to July direction; ETF flows in focus

Bitcoin’s move around $60,000 has put $58,000 in focus as a near-term dividing line, with market direction seen hinging on flows in the 72 hours after options expiry. Price pressure grew as U.S. inflation data coincided with a large options maturity and heavy out-of-the-money interest. Liquidations and positioning shifts also featured in the decline. Investors are also watching spot bitcoin ETF outflows and whether support holds through the weekend.
