ChainCatcher cited Pantera Capital as saying Bitcoin has spent the past six months in a tight trading range, and that consolidation phases are often followed by sharp and sizable moves. The firm said market positioning is now reversing, with investors shifting from caution and even net short exposure toward a growing appetite for long positions. Pantera Capital also said Bitcoin has broken above its 200-day moving average near $69,000, drawing in momentum and trend-following capital. In its view, digital asset prices still trade at roughly a 50% discount to prior highs, while fundamentals continue to strengthen through stablecoin adoption, prediction markets, perpetual contracts, and agentic commerce. The firm said the case for maintaining a constructive position is clearer when fundamentals improve but prices remain discounted.
