News: Bitcoin experienced a choppy trading day on August 17th, failing to break resistance and subsequently sliding below $11,000 on August 18th, pulling the broader market down with it. This indicates strong bearish momentum in the short term. Long-term, however, factors like increasing adoption, institutional interest, and network security (hash rate) remain positive, while geopolitical tensions could further bolster Bitcoin's safe-haven appeal.

Market Probabilities: 
Bull 30% | Base 40% | Bear 30%
