Bitcoin holds near $66,000 as whale accumulation and institutional buying support sentiment

Bitcoin held near $66,000 supported by whale accumulation and renewed institutional buying, with Strategy adding 1,587 Bitcoin over the past week and US spot Bitcoin ETFs recording ~$86 million in net inflows on June 12. Ethereum traded at $1,764, up 3% in 24 hours, while the global crypto market cap rose 0.9% to $2.26 trillion. Analysts noted the rebound appears to be cautious stabilization rather than a confirmed reversal, with the $66,000–$68,000 zone being the next key resistance to watch.
