Bitcoin recovers as risk appetite improves despite weak institutional demand
Bitcoin continues to recover part of its recent losses after falling below $60,000 in early June. The cryptocurrency has returned to the $62,000–64,000 range, supported by improving sentiment across global markets following macroeconomic data that did not reinforce concerns about further monetary tightening, as well as progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations.
As a result, investors have once again increased exposure to riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies.
ETF outflows remain the main obstacle to further gains
Despite the price recovery, institutional flows do not yet provide sufficient evidence of a full trend reversal. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States continue to record significant capital outflows, with the volume of withdrawals reaching the highest levels of 2026 in recent weeks. This suggests that large investors remain cautious and limits the potential for a more sustainable BTC rally in the near term.
Corporate demand supports the market
One positive factor remains the activity of major holders. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) increased its Bitcoin holdings by more than $100 million last week, signaling that some institutional participants continue to maintain long-term confidence in the digital asset. Market participants are closely monitoring the actions of large corporate investors, as they are currently exerting a significant influence on the broader cryptocurrency sector.
What comes next
In the near term, the key driver for Bitcoin will be the balance between improving global risk appetite and ongoing pressure from ETF outflows. If positive sentiment in equity markets persists, BTC could continue advancing toward higher levels. However, the market will need a return of stable institutional demand to establish a sustainable uptrend, as such demand has weakened noticeably in recent weeks. For now, Bitcoin appears to be experiencing a technical rebound following a deep correction rather than the beginning of a new bullish cycle.
Near-term outlook
The rebound from support around $62,800 and the return to resistance at $63,800 increase the chances of a breakout toward the $64,700–65,000 area. However, sellers may still become more active during this advance. As I noted earlier in Bitcoin recovers after geopolitical shock, it is still too early to talk about a trend reversal.
