Bitcoin's Range-Bound Market Tests Patience
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at around $79,300, up roughly +1.5% over the past 24 hours, as it grapples with a range-bound market.
The digital asset has been stuck in a tight band between $76,000 and $82,000 for weeks, with spot demand not being enough to break through this zone.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen their strongest three-week stretch of 2026, adding $986 million last week alone and pushing total net inflows to $3.8 billion.
Leveraged positioning is also on the rise, with Binance's open interest hitting a six-month high of $10 billion.
Despite these positive signs, Bitcoin remains stuck in this range, and experts are divided on what will happen next.
