Bitcoin’s price rebound has drawn scrutiny, but many analysts view it as a technical bounce after a sharp decline rather than a genuine trend reversal. As of 13:50 local time, Bitcoin was trading around $68,704, with Ethereum and other major altcoins also rallying. The prevailing view is that the rebound’s momentum stems more from mechanical and structural factors created by the drop than from new funds entering the market. First, the starting point was a sharp drop.
Bitcoin fell about 7% the previous day, nearing the psychologically important $60,000 level, where dip-buying tends to accumulate. The rebound appears to be driven more by a rebound effect created by the decline than by fresh buying. Second, derivatives positioning tends to amplify the bounce. In a rapid selloff, leveraged shorts pile up; as price retraces, shorts are forced to cover to limit losses.
Where margins are tight, liquidators may forcibly repurchase assets at market price, accelerating the rise. Thus, the rally often reflects unwinding of bearish bets rather than broad new demand. Third, the rebound reflects a risk-on mood across risk assets rather than a fundamental macro shift. Tech stocks rally and broader equities stabilize, which tends to magnify moves in volatile assets like crypto.
