Three Reasons Bitcoin Holding $63K May Mark a Bottom

Bitcoin has closed above $63,000 for three straight weeks after touching a 2026 low near $59,000, a pattern that mirrors prior bottom-building phases seen in past trend reversals. Derivatives and ETF flows point to easing selling pressure: futures open interest fell 19.5% from its June peak, funding rates cooled to 0.02% from 0.1%, and spot ETF outflows slowed to about $540 million over the past two weeks from $5.5 billion the prior month.

Together, these moves suggest positions are being closed rather than new leveraged bets entering. The weekly chart echoes earlier market bottoms, with a positive RSI divergence forming around $63,000 and repeated weekly closes keeping price above the $59,000 low instead of extending toward it.

One exception occurred in November 2025, when the price spent roughly 10 weeks moving sideways above $88,000 before breaking lower to the $60,000 level.
