Bitcoin trades below key moving averages with bearish momentum signals, expected to consolidate between $64,432 and $66,681, with a higher probability of further downside.

Sustained institutional inflows and regulatory updates shape sentiment

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a six-day streak of net inflows totaling over $900 million, including $206 million on July 21, reflecting continued institutional allocations to Bitcoin and providing direct liquidity support, according to Finance Yahoo. Major ETF products, including BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, accounted for the majority of these flows, reinforcing the asset’s appeal among large investors as reported by Farside Investors and Cryptonews. Separately, updated draft text for the CLARITY Act was released by Senate Republicans, outlining new ethics and stablecoin rules that may introduce future regulatory clarity for digital assets, according to News Bitcoin and Forbes. Additional developments include the alpha launch of Lightning Labs’ Wavelength toolkit for Lightning Network integration and the rollout of the Hashi testnet on Sui to enable Bitcoin-backed DeFi applications, as cited by Criptonoticias, Bitcoinmagazine, Cryptotimes, and Benzinga.

Sell signals and oversold readings as support and resistance hold

On the technical front, BTC is trading below both the MA-20 ($65,932) and MA-50 ($66,127) on the hourly chart, with price action still well beneath the long-term MA-200 at $72,730 on the daily timeframe. Immediate resistance is marked at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $65,988, while support sits at $64,432. Among momentum signals, MACD displays a sell bias, the ADX indicates neutral trend strength, and the RSI stands at 40.37, confirming a selling preference. Stoch RSI, CCI, and Bull/Bear Power all reflect oversold conditions, and the Awesome Oscillator continues to issue a sell signal, as Bitcoin trades near the lower end of its intraday range and volatility remains moderate.

Downside risk prevails as price remains capped below resistance

In the short term, BTC is expected to fluctuate within the $64,432 to $66,681 volatility band, with a bias toward further downside risk. Based on recent technical and momentum signals, the probability of an upward move is estimated at 40%, while the likelihood of continued decline stands at 60%. Sideways consolidation within this corridor is the baseline scenario. A sustained bullish reversal would require a confirmed break above the $65,988 resistance level, while a breach below $64,432 could signal deeper downside in the coming sessions.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong institutional interest in Bitcoin continuing, as evidenced by sustained ETF inflows and active development on both the regulatory and technology fronts. He notes that while technical signals now point to short-term pressures, the broader environment remains constructive due to robust demand and ongoing infrastructure growth. The expert expects Bitcoin to consolidate, with the $65,988 resistance as a key pivot for a rebound. In his view, downside risk still exists, but momentum could quickly shift on renewed buying. "Ongoing institutional inflows and ecosystem advancements reinforce my positive outlook for Bitcoin’s medium-term prospects."

Earlier, analysts noted that Bitcoin faced persistent selling pressure and heightened downside risks amid cautious investor sentiment and challenging macroeconomic conditions. The latest market action, combined with robust institutional ETF inflows and emerging regulatory and DeFi developments, adds new complexity to the outlook—suggesting that traders should closely monitor the $64,432 support for potential shifts in directional momentum.
