Analysis
Bitcoin fell 1.7% over the past 24 hours as derivatives positioning turned more defensive, with Deribit noting BTC ETF holders and treasury firms adding protection against a drop below $60,000—signaling heightened downside hedging pressure. While Indiana’s move to allow bitcoin in public retirement plans is a supportive longer-term regulatory development, it didn’t offset near-term caution in market positioning.
