The Bhutanese government transferred approximately $27 million in Bitcoin as the price rebounded to $73,500, demonstrating the organized nature of its selloff and market manipulation strategy. Since 2026, Bhutan has transferred over $40 million in Bitcoin, and despite rising mining costs and increased fiscal pressure, it still holds over 5,000 Bitcoin, indicating that its long-term confidence in Bitcoin remains unchanged.

CryptoQuant report shows bullish signals in the Bitcoin futures market, but if the price continues to rise, it will encounter resistance near $75,000 and $85,000. Meanwhile, the inflow of Bitcoin into centralized exchanges is accelerating, which may signal potential selling pressure, creating a contradiction with the bullish sentiment in the futures market.

Recent reasons for Bitcoin's decline include geopolitical conflict uncertainty triggered by the death of Iranian wartime official Larijani, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz pushing oil prices above $100, exacerbating inflation pressures and reducing Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, as well as institutional capital withdrawal. On the technical side, $72,000 is an important support level, and a break below could lead to further exploration toward $64,000.
