Bitcoin’s post-quantum plan BIP-360 gains traction, but will it reverse market sell-off?

Bitcoin is advancing its post-quantum security with the BIP-360 proposal, a soft fork designed to mitigate quantum computing risks for Taproot (P2TR) addresses. These addresses, which once held over half of Bitcoin’s supply, commit public keys on-chain, making them vulnerable to "long exposure attacks" from future quantum computers. BIP-360 proposes replacing the exposed "key-to-spend" path with Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) to keep data private. Although Taproot usage has dropped from 54% to 22% since early 2024, the update only addresses part of the quantum risk. The proposal is seen as a step toward broader quantum security. Market analysts suggest resolving this FUD could renew investor confidence and potentially reverse the current sell-off, possibly driving Bitcoin to new all-time highs.

The Cycle Without A Ceiling: Why Bitcoin’s Missing Peak Rewrites The Rules For The 2026 Bottom

Bitcoin remains below $70,000 amid persistent selling pressure and cautious market sentiment, with analysts warning a deeper correction below $60,000 is possible. However, a CryptoQuant report suggests Bitcoin may be nearing an undervalued zone based on on-chain metrics. The MVRV ratio is around 1.1, approaching levels historically linked to accumulation phases. Unlike previous cycles, Bitcoin did not reach extreme overvaluation before correcting, meaning this downturn may not mirror past capitulation patterns. Technically, Bitcoin shows a bearish structure with lower highs and lows, trading below key moving averages. The $60,000 level is critical; reclaiming $70,000 is necessary for any sustained recovery.

Bitcoin Stares Down the $55,000 Floor: The Last Bastion Before On-Chain Capitulation

Bitcoin is struggling below the $70,000 mark amid persistent selling pressure and declining sentiment. It has fallen approximately 47% from its October high of around $125,000 to roughly $66,400. Key on-chain support levels—Realized Price and Long-Term Holder (LTH) cost basis—are converging, potentially forming a critical support corridor between $43,000 and $51,000 within a quarter. The Realized Price, currently near $55,000, is the immediate support. If Bitcoin breaks below the $43K–$51K zone, a deeper bear market could follow. The tightening range between these levels indicates compressed structural support, though this is a forward-looking indicator rather than an immediate signal.

This Key Bitcoin Metric Signals That The Downside May Persist A Bit Longer

After a sharp pullback in Bitcoin's price, speculation suggests the market may have entered a bearish phase. A key metric, the Bitcoin Z-Score, indicates that the downside movement has not yet climaxed, with BTC hitting a historically extreme -3σ downside deviation near the $60,000 mark. This suggests selling pressure and weak demand are likely to persist in the coming days, weeks, or even months. Analysts note that final market bottoms are typically formed through prolonged choppy compression rather than sharp crashes. Additionally, the Bull Score Signals metric, which assesses on-chain health, shows most indicators are still negative, indicating a challenging environment for Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs in the short term. The drop below $60,000 has also pressured Bitcoin whales, who have increased their inflows to exchanges like Binance, with over 50,000 BTC moved since February 1. This activity often signals heightened selling pressure, especially in a tightening liquidity environment.

Bitcoin Developers Kick Off Quantum-Safety Track With BIP-360

Bitcoin developers have advanced quantum-resistance efforts by merging an updated draft of BIP-360 into the official repository. The proposal introduces Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), a new SegWit v2 output type that removes Taproot’s key-path spend—deemed most vulnerable to quantum attacks—while retaining script-tree functionality. P2MR addresses long-exposure quantum risks, where public keys remain on-chain for extended periods, but does not protect against short-exposure attacks targeting unconfirmed transactions. As a soft fork, it creates a new address type (bc1z) without affecting existing Taproot outputs. Trade-offs include larger witness sizes and reduced privacy, as all spends reveal script usage. The proposal marks a concrete step in formalizing quantum-preparedness, though future work on post-quantum signatures may be needed.

How Low Could Bitcoin Fall After Standard Chartered Cut Its Forecast?

Standard Chartered has lowered its Bitcoin price forecast, warning that BTC could fall toward $50,000 before a potential recovery later in 2026. The bank reduced its year-end 2026 target from $150,000 to $100,000, citing persistent outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and a weaker macroeconomic environment. Technically, Bitcoin is trading near $66,400, below the 50-week moving average, and approaching the 200-week moving average near $58,200—a key historical support level. Momentum indicators like the RSI show oversold conditions, but the overall trend remains bearish. A break below $58,000 could see further declines toward $50,000, while resistance is seen between $80,000 and $90,000. The bank views a potential drop to $50,000 as a capitulation phase before a eventual rebound.

Brazil Introduces Bill to Accumulate 1 Million Bitcoin Over Five Years

Brazil's Congress has proposed a bill, the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, to accumulate 1 million Bitcoin as a national strategic reserve over five years. The legislation includes provisions to pay federal taxes in Bitcoin, offers full income tax exemption on Bitcoin capital gains, and provides incentives for mining and custody businesses. It also proposes a ban on selling Bitcoin confiscated by the judiciary. If passed, this would position Brazil as a leading national holder of Bitcoin, significantly impact the global Bitcoin market due to its fixed supply, and represent a major shift in digital currency taxation policy. The specifics regarding governance, regulatory updates, and the purchase process are still under discussion.

Bitcoin Selloff Drew Spot Volume, But Demand Lacked Follow-Through: Glassnode

Bitcoin spot trading volume spiked during the recent selloff that drove the price toward $60,000, but the surge was short-lived, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. The initial increase reflected panic reactions and short-term repositioning rather than sustained buying interest. The lack of follow-through demand suggests shallow absorption relative to selling pressure. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has found support in the $60,000–$72,000 range, a zone where prior buyers appear to be defending their positions. As of the report, BTC's price has declined to around $65,900.

Can Bitcoin reclaim $74K? – $559M BTC whale dump raises doubts

Bitcoin's bearish pressure intensified after rejection at $72k, dropping to around $66k and later trading near $60k. A significant whale sold 8,200 BTC worth $559 million on Binance, contributing to a 3% price decline. Whale selling has dominated for two weeks, indicating strong bearish sentiment. Technical indicators like the Ease of Movement and Money Flow Index reflect sustained selling pressure and weak buying interest. BTC risks falling toward $60k unless buyers return. A reversal would require renewed whale demand, as seen in brief recoveries when exchange netflow turned negative. The market remains in a risk-off phase with thin liquidity.

Bhutan Has Added to 3-Week Bitcoin Selling as BTC Price Drops Below $67k

Bhutan has continued its three-week pattern of selling Bitcoin, offloading an additional $6.7 million worth of BTC. The nation still retains a significant holding of approximately $372 million. This selling activity coincides with BTC's price dropping below $67,000, currently trading around $66,483. A potential reason for the sales is a slowdown in mining speed following the April 2024 halving. Despite the price drop and warnings of potential short-selling pressure from firms like Goldman Sachs, overall market sentiment for Bitcoin's future remains bullish. Projections suggest a potential 32.61% price jump to $88,200 in the next three months, with institutions like JPMorgan citing strong fundamentals and rising institutional inflows.
