As the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference kicks off in Abu Dhabi with bitcoin BTC$91,952.08 at roughly $92,000, investors are asking whether the event will trigger another price pullback.
In recent years, major bitcoin conferences have developed a reputation for aligning with short term market weakness, as traders use the increased attention as exit liquidity while retail participation picks up.

Since Sunday's futures open, the price has already jumped above $92,000 on Monday, but the question remains whether this strength will hold or simply mark the start of another conference related correction.
CoinDesk has previously highlighted that bitcoin conferences have often been a net negative for price, with a clear pattern of sell the news behavior from 2019 through 2024.
In 2025, the pattern has continued across all four major bitcoin conferences so far. The first event took place in Las Vegas in late May. Bitcoin climbed to around $110,000 just as the conference began, but by the end of the event the price had fallen to nearly $103,000.
In mid June, Bitcoin Prague showed a similar setup. The price was firm at the start near $108,000, then slipped below $100,000 during the conference, marking a correction of about 10%.
Aug. 28-29, brought the Hong Kong conference, where bitcoin moved from roughly $113,000 to $107,000, a 5% decline and a local low.
Last month, BTC Amsterdam delivered the sharpest correction of the year, falling about 12% from $107,000 to $95,000.
The question now is whether Abu Dhabi will follow the same trajectory or break the trend that has defined every major bitcoin conference so far in 2025.

Reminder: Bank of Japan Expected to Hike Rates 25 bps Friday
The unwinding of the yen carry trade is the core risk. For years, investors have borrowed low-interest yen to invest in higher-yielding overseas assets. As Japanese rates rise, this strategy becomes less attractive, prompting investors to unwind their positions.
During the unwinding process, investors sell foreign assets to repay yen-denominated loans. U.S. Treasuries, as one of the primary investment targets, may face selling pressure. Capital outflows from the Treasury market would push U.S. yields higher.
