Analysis

Bitcoin ETFs took the heaviest losses during the latest geopolitically driven sell-off, according to CoinShares, while altcoin funds largely held steady.

Price action on the 4h chart reveals a clear bearish structure as BTC trades at $76453.49 beneath both the EMA50 at $79009.36 and EMA200 at $77369.44. The MACD death cross at -842.02 reinforces downside momentum, and with the pair sitting just above the lower Bollinger Band support at $76314.71 while RSI(14) prints 30.41, a test of that floor remains the immediate focus before any sustained recovery attempt.
