And
. Let's write the full content. I'll ensure no AI tells. Let's draft: Bitcoin pushed back above $65,000 on Friday, touching $65,212 — its strongest level since late July. The 2% gain came with $191.6 million in liquidations across more than 80,000 traders, including a $1.66 million BTC position on Hyperliquid. Investors are also digesting a major hardware-wallet security breach at Coldcard, a delay to the CLARITY Act, and months of stagnant price action.
Why the market stopped panicking
Bitcoin's muted reaction to negative news is the tell. Andre Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise Europe, said the coin's sensitivity to bad news has fallen close to historical lows, indicating much of the readily available supply has already been sold. That reads as a market that's done dumping.
The numbers back him up. Weekly average net realized profit and loss is still negative — about $368 million — but that's a fraction of the $2 billion in February and $1.2 billion in June. Holders are still booking losses, but the intensity has dropped sharply.
The Coldcard fallout
The Coldcard breach, tied to weak randomness in seed phrases, forced owners to move dormant Bitcoin. Glassnode estimates roughly 119,000 BTC held for at least a year moved in the three days after the incident. Yet only a fraction reached exchanges. Most of that Bitcoin just changed wallets, not hands.
That's a key detail. If the selling were real, more of it would have hit order books. Instead, the market absorbed the news and kept climbing.
Big wallets are buying
US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in about $754.7 million this week, on pace for their strongest weekly inflow since April. Meanwhile, Santiment data shows wallets holding between 10 BTC and 10,000 BTC added more than 20,000 Bitcoin since July 29 — over $1.2 billion at current prices. Smaller wallets have been trimming, but the larger ones are accumulating.
The contrast is stark: big holders are adding, small holders are shedding. That's a classic distribution-to-accumulation shift.
The path to $70,000
Upside implied volatility has dropped to about 23%, the lowest in Glassnode's data. Traders aren't chasing the rally — they're waiting for a breakout before committing. Santiment sees the accumulation by larger holders as improving the odds of eventually breaking above $70,000 rather than falling below $60,000.
The range is still intact. But with sellers exhausted and institutions stepping in, the next test is whether that $70,000 level actually gets challenged.
