2025-07-02 00:10:11

Main Idea
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading within a narrow range of $100,000 to $110,000, with reduced market activity and potential for continued range-bound price action in Q3, while institutional demand could support future upside.
Key Points
1. BTC has been confined within the $100,000 to $110,000 range since May 8, with reduced profit-taking and cooling on-chain and exchange activity.
2. Bitcoin-denominated open interest declined by 7.2%, from 360,000 BTC to 334,000 BTC, indicating a reactive market environment.
3. BTC has historically recorded an average return of 27.12% in Q2 and 6.03% in Q3 since 2013, with lower volatility expected this quarter.

5. Persistent institutional demand, particularly from U.S. ETFs, could sustain an upside trend and potentially lead to new all-time highs.
