The bitcoin price fell more than 5% in the past 24 hours on Sunday evening, dropping below $65,000 as large holders moved coins onto exchanges and recent buyers sold at a loss, adding pressure to an already fragile market.
Most of the price drop occurred within just two hours on Sunday evening.
This marks Bitcoin’s first-ever stretch of six consecutive negative weekly closes, six straight closes below its 100-week moving average, and three consecutive closes beneath its 2021 high.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading near $64,500 at the time of writing, down roughly $3,500 on the day. The decline followed a weekend flush from the $67,000 range, breaking a relatively tight…

On Sunday, Michael Burry used an X post to lay out what he described as 26 years of major market calls. That self-audit arrives as Bitcoin lacks utility remains central to his current framework, with Burry arguing the token has not proven durable as a hedge against currency debasement.

Burry also shared that he was short Amazon.com at the top in 2000, then flipped to a heavy small-cap value stance later that year. He also wrote that he bought Apple in 1998 and again in 2002, and that he moved…

By the end of August that year, Buterin chose to extend his vacation by a year to “spend more time exploring the cryptocurrency world.”

On Saturday, Robert Kiyosaki said he bought another full Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for $67,000 even as he described the cryptocurrency as “crashing,” framing the purchase as a bet against a potential breakdown in the U.S. dollar and a coming supply milestone for Bitcoin. The move fits with his long-running stance of ignoring crypto volatility while he builds positions across Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), and hard assets as protection from what he sees as worsening U.S. debt dynamics.
In a post on X, he tied the purchase to two catalysts: a belief that a debt-driven dollar slide could trigger massive money creation and that the network is nearing the “21 millionth Bitcoin” being mined.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could eventually go to $1 million if it does not go to zero, but institutions, not retail, are increasingly driving the market’s long-term direction, according to Anthony Pompliano.
Why Is Bitcoin Sentiment So Low?
In the latest “From The Desk Of Anthony Pompliano” podcast, Pompliano said the artificial intelligence arms race is accelerating even as Bitcoin sentiment has plunged to extreme lows, driven largely by retail capitulation.
Citing data from Binance Research, he noted that Bitcoin’s Fear & Greed Index recently fell to 5, one of the lowest readings on record and below levels seen during prior major crypto shocks.

Bitcoin’s Unexpected Advocate
Prominent crypto investor Lark Davis highlighted comments by Hugh Hendry, founder of Eclectica Asset Management, who is incorporating Bitcoin into what he describes as a “barbell strategy” alongside bets on interest rate cuts.
Hendry built his reputation as a contrarian investor who challenged mainstream economic thinking.
In 2008, as the global financial crisis unfolded, his fund returned 31.2% while markets were roiled by the collapse of mortgage-backed debt.
