As June nears its end, Bitcoin appears unlikely to close the month in positive territory, with the asset currently down around 18%. Analysts say Bitcoin\u2019s performance in July will largely depend on whether several key market indicators begin to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weak Demand Continues to Pressure Bitcoin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin accumulation has remained weak for the past seven months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent post, he noted that Bitcoin\u2019s apparent demand has stayed negative for 208 consecutive days and recently dropped to a new low of negative 273,000 BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This metric compares newly mined Bitcoin against the circulation of older supply, offering insight into real spot market demand. The persistent decline suggests buying activity in the spot market has weakened significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The negative trend began after the major liquidation event in early October, when more than $19 billion was wiped from the market in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From November 2025 through May 2026, apparent demand remained moderately negative, fluctuating between zero and negative 150,000 BTC, signaling steady but manageable supply distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, following the sharp market selloffs in June, the metric plunged further to negative 273,000 BTC and has remained near that level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prolonged weakness suggests older BTC holdings are reentering circulation faster than the market can absorb them. For Bitcoin to stage a stronger recovery in July, demand must improve enough to offset the ongoing selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinez also pointed to another sign of weak demand, particularly from US investors. The Coinbase Premium Index has remained in negative territory for nearly two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metric turned negative after Bitcoin peaked above $82,000 in mid May and has stayed there since, signaling reduced buying interest from US institutional participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since institutional demand from the United States often plays a major role in Bitcoin price movements, this is another important factor to watch in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETF Outflows Remain a Major Concern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consistent with weakening demand, spot Bitcoin ETF products have continued to see significant outflows in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week followed the same pattern, with net withdrawals recorded throughout the week. On Thursday, when Bitcoin dropped to $58,000 for the first time in nearly two years, investors pulled almost $700 million from spot ETF products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lacie Zhang, research analyst at Bitget Wallet<\/a>, said ETF outflows need to stabilize before market conditions can improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that volatility may ease after the major $11 billion options expiry event that took place on June 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Zhang, if redemptions continue and investor positioning remains defensive after expiry, Bitcoin may continue trading in a volatile and uncertain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She believes Bitcoin\u2019s direction in July will depend less on recent macroeconomic data such as the PCE report and more on market flows, leverage conditions, and on chain accumulation trends during the days following options expiry.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
