Bitcoin Near $65K as 67,000 BTC Moves and Social Talk Drops

Bitcoin traded near $64,609 as public discussion about crypto across major social channels fell to its second-lowest daily level since October 2024. The cryptocurrency showed an intraday high near $64,832 and a low around $61,823 in recent sessions.

Santiment reported the decline in social chatter while Bitcoin remained in the low $60,000s. The firm described low public attention as a quieter retail environment but noted that low attention alone does not confirm market direction.

On July 13, on-chain data showed a concentrated distribution event among wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC. CryptoQuant found that cohort moved roughly 67,000 BTC on that day, equal to about $4.3 billion at prevailing prices and roughly 0.33% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply of nearly 20 million coins.

CryptoQuant also identified a separate group of newer large wallets that have been accumulating BTC over recent sessions. The two signals indicate a redistribution of supply between older and newer large-holder cohorts.

Data on U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of about $197.4 million for the week of July 6–10, according to Farside Investors. On July 13 those ETFs had net outflows of about $424.7 million. Glassnode’s data put 30-day ETF net flows in negative territory and estimated daily Bitcoin trading volume at roughly $650 million to $950 million, near 80% below the October 2025 peak.

Glassnode also reported long-term holder realized losses running near $280 million per day, a level it identified as the highest since December 2022. The firm’s metrics show Bitcoin has traded below the short-term holder cost basis of about $72,200 and the True Market Mean near $76,600 for roughly five months.

Macro indicators referenced in recent reports include the Federal Reserve keeping its target range at 3.50% to 3.75% on June 17 and a cooling of the June consumer price index to a 3.5% year-over-year gain from 4.2% in May. U.S. M2 money supply reached a record $22.8 trillion while the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet remained about $2 trillion below its 2023 peak. Analysts also noted episodes of oil-price volatility and periods of risk-off sentiment that have affected correlations with other risk assets.

Citi’s July revision to its Bitcoin outlook lowered its 12-month target from $112,000 to $82,000. The revision presented scenarios in which reclaiming the short-term holder cost basis near $72,200 and the True Market Mean near $76,600 would coincide with continued accumulation by newer large wallets, reduced distribution from the 100–1,000 BTC cohort, and sustained positive ETF flows over several weeks. The firm also outlined conditions in which renewed distribution, negative ETF flows and ongoing long-term holder losses could pressure prices lower.

On-chain indicators show one large-holder cohort reducing exposure while another cohort increases positions. ETF flows and institutional demand data remain mixed.
