Bitcoin is facing some pressure this weekend after a security issue involving Coldcard hardware wallets surfaced. The news caused a stir among investors who rely on hardware storage, leading to a slight cooling in market sentiment. After making a push toward $65,000 earlier in the week, the price pulled back to a range between $62,300 and $63,100.

Beyond the wallet security concerns, traders are watching two upcoming Bitcoin forks scheduled for August. These events often create uncertainty in the market because they force participants to decide how to manage their holdings across split networks. Investors are currently weighing these technical developments against the broader price action.

For now, the market is in a wait and see mode. While the price drop is relatively small, the combination of wallet security news and structural changes to the network has kept volatility in check. Traders will be looking to see if Bitcoin can regain its upward momentum or if these factors will keep prices restricted in the short term.
