Five factors for bitcoin this week, from Fed minutes to Bank of Japan and whale inflows

Bitcoin has recovered to the $64,000 range, but it ended the week trading below the 200-week simple moving average, keeping concerns about the long-term trend alive. Markets are watching whether the break is temporary or a signal of further declines. This week’s drivers include U.S. PMI data and the Federal Reserve’s July meeting minutes, Japan’s rate outlook and rising bond yields, weak spot bitcoin ETF flows, and a rise in whale deposits on exchanges.
