Bitcoin is diverging from record-high global equities — a classically bearish signal — while the $120M Coldcard hardware wallet hack rattles self-custody confidence and the BIP-110 governance dispute threatens near-term protocol certainty.
BTC is trading below all key moving averages (50-day EMA at $64,587, 100-day EMA at $67,025, 200-day EMA at $72,569) and has failed every rally attempt at the 50-day EMA for three consecutive weeks, keeping the medium-term trend firmly corrective.
