Bitcoin’s $65K recovery shows its growing immunity to bad news as ETFs and whales buy $2 billion

Bitcoin ETF investors are accumulating while CME funds remain heavily short and options markets price little chance of a breakout.

• Bitcoin has shown increasing resilience to negative news, recovering above $65,000 despite a hardware wallet breach and legislative delays.
• US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen significant inflows this week, and large wallet holders are accumulating Bitcoin, suggesting a transfer of supply from smaller, less patient holders.
• Despite the positive spot market activity, derivatives traders remain cautious, with low upside volatility and heavily shorted CME futures, indicating a lack of conviction for an imminent breakout.
