### *Quick Snapshot* - *Price*: $63,600 - $64,900 - *24h change*: +0.1% to +0.7% - *YTD*: Down over 20% from the $120,000+ peak late 2025 - *June low*: Dipped below $60,000 recently
### *What's moving BTC right now*
*1. Selling pressure* - *Strategy*: Sold 1,638 BTC for $104.73M between July 27 - Aug 2 at ∼$63,957 each. Holdings now 842,138 BTC. They flagged potential sales of up to $1.25B more - Sentiment hurt because BTC fell below Strategy’s average buy price last week
*2. Security event* - *Coldcard hack July 30*: ∼1,000 BTC drained from 1,196 wallets in under an hour. Total estimated losses ∼$89M. Issue was a random-number-generation bug
*3. Macro + Geopolitics* - *Fed uncertainty*: Market pricing 56% chance of a 25bp hike in September, fully priced by December - *Iran tensions*: Concerns over Strait of Hormuz kept risk appetite low. But analysts note prolonged instability could later help BTC as a "scarce and globally transferable asset" - *Seasonality*: August is historically BTC’s worst month with median -7.87% return
*4. Technicals* - *Trend*: Still below downtrend from $124,836 Oct 2025 high - *RSI*: Weekly RSI 39.30 with bullish divergence — same pattern that preceded rallies in 2019 and July 2025 - *Key levels*: Resistance $64K-$67K, Support $55.5K-$56K
### *Outlook in 1 line* 2026 has been rough due to hacks, institutional selling, and macro fear. But oversold technicals + potential Fed pivot in Q4 keep the $100K year-end call alive for some analysts.
