Market news accounts say Bitcoin broke its parabolic trend and fell to $72k (unconfirmed). A trader notes BTC closed its fifth consecutive red weekly candle, historically followed by a sixth about 30–50% of the time. Another trader says the price is hovering right around the 200-day moving averages. One analyst cites restrictive monetary policy and US legislative uncertainty as headwinds, while on-chain data shows an Ethereum Foundation-linked wallet selling another 1,000 ETH. Equity strategists note correlations converged across markets last week.
