📉 Citi: Crypto Near a Decisive Zone
Wall Street bank Citi says crypto markets are approaching key inflection levels after weeks of pressure.
What’s weighing on prices 👇
• Long liquidations still hitting futures markets
• Strong sensitivity to equities & geopolitics
• ETF inflows slowing, removing a major demand driver
• Delays in U.S. crypto market structure regulation
📊 Key levels: Bitcoin dipped to ~$73K and is still below the average ETF entry price of ~$81,600, meaning many ETF holders are currently underwater.
Citi highlights an important psychological zone: 🔑 $70,000 — BTC’s pre-U.S. election level
This level matters because the current U.S. administration has openly supported digital assets. Holding or losing it could shape near-term sentiment.
🧠 Big takeaway: Bitcoin still trades more like a risk asset, not “digital gold.”
While gold rallies on uncertainty, BTC remains tied to liquidity, regulation clarity, and macro conditions.
📌 Citi’s view: A deep crypto winter is not the base case, but the next move depends heavily on regulation progress and macro liquidity.
Markets are quiet — but tension is building.
