Bitcoin and crypto self-custody holders face a proposed 36% tax on unrealized capital gains under Dutch rules while ETFs and providers pay only on realized gains, a disparity @CryptoMichNL calls theft and @NVC_crypto counters with a new paper demanding equal treatment. BTC price action at $84127.22 reveals a bearish trend where the EMA50 at $84894.98 caps upside as resistance and the EMA200 at $81993.88 anchors downside support, the MACD death cross at 6.42 reinforces selling pressure, and neutral RSI at 38.33 leaves the asset testing lower Bollinger band support near $84264.76 before any recovery attempt. Dutch crypto tax rules and Bitcoin self custody taxation now carry direct crypto market implications as traders weigh policy risk against these technical levels.
