BTC Market Pulse: Week 50
Bitcoin rebounded from the mid-$80K region and stabilised near $91K, setting a cautiously constructive tone after last week’s drawdown. Buyers were active at the lows, though broader conviction remains uneven across on-chain, derivatives, and ETF signals.
Overview
Momentum firmed as the 14-day RSI climbed from 38.6 to 58.2, while spot volume rose 13.2 percent to $11.1B. However, Spot CVD weakened from -$40.8M to -$111.7M, pointing to stronger underlying sell pressure.
Derivatives remained cautious. Futures open interest fell to $30.6B, perpetual CVD improved slightly, and funding turned more supportive with long-side payments up to $522.7K. Options showed mixed sentiment: steady OI at $46.3B, a sharply negative volatility spread at -14.6 percent, and a high 25-delta skew at 12.88 percent, indicating demand for downside protection.
ETF flows added a clear headwind. Netflows flipped from a $134.2M inflow to a $707.3M outflow, signalling profit-taking or softer institutional interest. Yet ETF trade volume rose 21.33 percent to $22.6B, and ETF MVRV increased to 1.67, pointing to higher holder profitability and some potential for distribution.
On-chain activity showed mild stabilisation. Active addresses rose slightly to 693,035, sitting near the low band. Entity-adjusted transfer volume increased 17.1 percent to $8.9B, suggesting healthier throughput. Fee volume dipped 2.9 percent to $256K, reflecting lighter block-space demand.
Supply dynamics remain cautious. Realised Cap Change fell to 0.7 percent, well below its low band, signalling softer capital inflows. The STH-to-LTH ratio rose to 18.5 percent, and Hot Capital Share stayed elevated at 39.9 percent, indicating a market still dominated by short-term participants. Percent Supply in Profit increased modestly to 67.3 percent, consistent with early-stage recovery. NUPL improved to -14.6 percent but remains deeply negative, while Realised Profit to Loss slipped to -0.3, signalling ongoing loss-realisation.
Overall, Bitcoin shows early signs of recovery momentum, yet sentiment and positioning remain cautious, highlighting a market still rebuilding confidence after recent volatility.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Bessent's frequent interventions test the boundaries of Federal Reserve independence
According to The Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen is gradually intervening in the Federal Reserve’s traditional policy domain by expanding long-term Treasury buybacks and suppressing yields, sparking concerns about central bank independence. The timing of these moves is abrupt and has been criticized as "price management," adding pressure to the existing interest rate disagreements within the Federal Reserve. This approach also undermines Fed Chair Powell’s policy framework, which relies on obtaining real signals from market prices.
