The post Bitcoin Drops Gains As Bulls Cut Risk Ahead of Fed Minutes Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin (BTC) trades slightly above $62,000 and is down nearly 2% over the past 24 hours amid a risk-off mood across global markets. The pressure is not coming from crypto exclusively and is more so attributed to a sharp selloff in semiconductor and AI stocks. Renewed profit-taking from Samsung sent Asian markets reeling overnight, and military escalation between the US and Iran sent oil up around 5%. As a result, US stocks opened lower, and on Wednesday the Federal Reserve released the minutes from its June meeting, a report traders typically watch closely for clues on the timing of any rate cut. Currently, markets price roughly a 73% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its next meeting on July 29, but the major takeaway for investors will be how the tone of the minutes frames the Fed’s view on inflation and interest rates.

BlackRock has pulled back on AI stocks most directly tied to the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income Rick Rieder said Wednesday.

The post Lyn Alden: No Cavalry Is Coming for Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The macro analyst and Ego Death Capital partner told the Coin Stories podcast that Bitcoin sentiment is the weakest she has ever seen — but that the asset’s next leg higher will have to be earned, not printed. Lyn Alden built her reputation by refusing to tell Bitcoiners what they want to hear, and her latest appearance on Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories held to form. With Bitcoin trading near $62,000 — roughly half its October 2025 high and fresh off a 21-month low — the founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy and general partner at Bitcoin-only venture firm Ego Death Capital delivered a message with no comfort in it: this is the lowest sentiment she has personally seen in the asset, weaker even than the stretch that followed 2022’s FTX collapse, and there is no obvious rescue on the way. “The asset just has to survive on its own merits,” Alden said.
