Following a sharp selloff that pushed BTC from around $75,000 to $67,000, the cryptocurrency has rebounded, supported by easing selling pressure from ETFs, long-term holders, and constructive geopolitical developments, including U.S.\u2013Iran talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over the past month, bitcoin has traded sideways between $60,000 and $75,000, a pattern often linked to market bottoms. K33 Research <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/as-bitcoin-consolidates-signs-bottom\">highlights<\/a> that reduced distribution from ETFs and rising supply held for more than six months reflect structural market stability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Head of Research Vetle Lunde noted that with bitcoin below $100,000, fewer investors are inclined to exit positions, anchoring prices.<\/p>\n<p>ETF flows have turned mildly positive since late February, signaling an end to the heavy post-October distribution phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite macro uncertainty\u2014including rising oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and a hawkish Federal Reserve\u2014bitcoin\u2019s range-bound price action, low open interest in perpetual swaps, and negative funding rates suggest a constructive environment for medium- and long-term investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street broker Bernstein <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/bernstein-predicts-bitcoin-bottomed\">echoes<\/a> this outlook, asserting that bitcoin has likely bottomed and maintaining a $150,000 year-end target. Bernstein cited strong ETF flows, growing corporate treasury demand, and resilience in Strategy (MSTR)\u2014which now holds $53.5 billion worth of bitcoin\u2014as evidence of institutional confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Analysts view the recent correction as a temporary sentiment reset rather than a breakdown in fundamentals, with continued interest in Strategy\u2019s preferred shares offering additional long-term capital support.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, both research firms see bitcoin transitioning from a distribution phase toward stabilization, setting the stage for potential upside later this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_75\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/authors\/micahzimmerman\" title=\"Micah Zimmerman\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"bitcoins\" alt=\"bitcoins Micah Zimmerman\" height=\"117\" width=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ileamcn.nitrocdn.com\/BngESKHdyFjXuZbvyAhEMmtQtwLKSKkU\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-a952b84\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Micah_Zimmerman_Author_Image.jpg 2x\" nitro-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ileamcn.nitrocdn.com\/BngESKHdyFjXuZbvyAhEMmtQtwLKSKkU\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-a952b84\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Micah_Zimmerman_Author_Image.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" nitro-lazy-empty id=\"MTE2NDozMDUx-1\" data-nitro-empty-id=\"MTE2NDozMDUx-1\" previous-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgMjAwMCAyMDAwIiB3aWR0aD0iMjAwMCIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyMDAwIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/authors\/micahzimmerman\">Micah Zimmerman<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Micah first discovered Bitcoin in 2018 but remained a skeptic on the sidelines for too long.
