Bitcoin slides in downturn as retail investors opt for spot buying and long bets

Bitcoin slipped to around $72,000 and tested the lower end of its monthly trading range amid selling across spot, futures and spot bitcoin ETF markets, Cointelegraph reported. Some indicators, however, showed demand for dip-buying. Retail investors increased spot purchases and expanded long positions, with a retail futures metric topping 64 percent. The report cited ETF outflows, renewed U.S.-Iran military clashes, inflation worries and uncertainty over the Senate passage of the Clarity bill.
