BitMEX will shut down operations at 04:00 UTC on 23 September 2026 after posting just $84M in BTC futures volume yesterday, equal to 0.08% of total market share.
Bitcoin trades at $65737.45 inside its Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $66969.63 and lower support at $64634.11; the EMA50 at $65035.0 continues to act as immediate structural support while the EMA200 at $63745.04 anchors the broader bullish trend, yet the MACD death cross at 282.49 warns of momentum loss even as RSI at 53.23 stays neutral.
