Bitcoin Slides to Three-Week Low Under $77K Amid Bear Dominance

Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped to a three-week low below $77,000, erasing gains made since early May. This decline follows a recent surge to 13-week highs above $83,000, driven by optimism around US crypto regulation and strong ETF inflows. Over $600 million in long positions were liquidated in the past day, with $190 million from Bitcoin. Analysts point to a negative technical divergence as BTC faced resistance above $82,000. Key support is seen at $76,000; a break below could target the $71,000-$73,000 zone or even the $65,000 local low. Geopolitical tensions, including US-Iran relations and oil supply concerns, contributed to broader market volatility.

Iran Launches Bitcoin Payment Platform For Strait Of Hormuz Insurance

Iran has launched a maritime insurance platform named "Hormuz Safe" for cargo transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with insurance payments settled in Bitcoin. According to a report from Iran's Fars News Agency, the state-backed initiative could generate significant revenue and embeds Bitcoin into a critical global shipping corridor. The platform offers cryptographically verifiable policies for cargo moving through the Persian Gulf and surrounding waterways, with coverage beginning upon payment confirmation. This move occurs amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the strait, a vital chokepoint for global oil shipments. The report did not specify technical details on Bitcoin payment processing or identify external partners.

Bitcoin's $78,000 Support Faces Ultimate Test: With Soaring Treasury Yields and Inflation Pressure, the Door to $75,000 is Opening

Bitcoin has fallen below the $78,000 support level, now facing a critical test due to severe macro pressures. The price slid from above $81,000 to a low near $77,711, with the $77,700-$78,000 zone identified as the next key support. The primary headwinds are surging U.S. Treasury yields—with the 10-year approaching 4.6% and the 30-year surpassing 5.13%—and persistent inflation. April's CPI accelerated to 3.8%, while WTI oil prices climbed above $105. These factors increase the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield assets like Bitcoin and tighten the Fed's policy space. Crucially, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which previously provided a buffer, saw significant net outflows on two of the past three trading days, removing buying support when it was most needed. The technical outlook hinges on whether Bitcoin can hold above $77,700. A daily close below this level could open a path toward $76,500 and then the major $75,000 support. A recovery above $80,000 is needed to break the bearish pattern, with a close above $82,000 (the 200-day moving average) required to invalidate the breakdown. Failure to hold support could shift the narrative from a crypto correction to a broader, macro-driven risk asset deleveraging.

Bitcoin MVRV Pattern Predicts Major Downswing Ahead – Details

Despite a recent rally, Bitcoin faces predictions of a significant price correction based on historical patterns. Currently trading around $78,000 after failing to break the $82,000 resistance, analysts point to the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) metric. Analyst Crypto Chan notes the current MVRV pattern mirrors the structure seen before the final capitulation in the 2018 bear market. After dropping to 1.14 at the recent cycle low of $60,000, the MVRV ratio rebounded to 1.51, similar to the 2018 precedent which preceded a major downswing. Other analysts, like Kabuki, support this bearish outlook, citing a completed head-and-shoulders pattern on Bitcoin's weekly chart. This analysis forecasts a potential drop to $70,000 initially, followed by a decline to key support levels at $61,000 and $47,000, a brief bounce, and a final sell-off potentially reaching a bottom around $41,000 by June.

Bitcoin Price Could Resume Its Downward Trend As Realized Profit Climbs To 2022 Level

Bitcoin's price may be poised for a downturn, according to on-chain analysis. Despite recent signs of recovery, a key metric—the Realized Profit/Loss Margin—has reached 17%. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlights that this level, last seen in March 2022, previously signaled a local market top before a downtrend resumed. The indicator suggests average Bitcoin investors are sitting on significant profits and may start selling to lock in gains. Currently trading around $78,070, Bitcoin faces a critical test at the $78,000 support level. A break below could trigger further downside, aligning with the historical warning from the overheated profit margins.

Bitcoin Crowd Euphoria Hits Highest Level Of 2026 After CLARITY Act Progress

Bitcoin surged over 3.5% after the US Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act, a crypto regulation bill aimed at providing clearer rules. This news drove Bitcoin crowd sentiment to its most euphoric (or "greediest") level of the year, which on-chain analytics firm Santiment notes is a long-term bullish signal due to increased investor certainty. However, Santiment cautions that such extreme optimism historically precedes short-term bearish pressure, as markets often move opposite to crowd frenzy. Separately, market analyst Ali Martinez reported Bitcoin miners sold approximately 800 BTC (around $64 million) over 96 hours, adding potential near-term selling pressure. While miner selling is not massive, spikes in their outflows have historically preceded price weakness or consolidation. Combining excessive euphoria with miner selling suggests Bitcoin may face corrective movement. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $79,136, down 2.9% in 24 hours.

Analyst Who Predict Bitcoin Top And Bottom Reveals When Price Will Start To Rise Again

An analyst known for accurately calling Bitcoin's previous top and bottom warns of a prolonged bearish phase. Following a rebound above $82,000 and a subsequent rejection, Bitcoin is seen forming a "bull trap" within a broader bearish structure. The analyst, Kabuki, projects a steady decline to around $61,000, then $47,000, followed by a temporary bounce to $55,000 before a final crash to approximately $41,000 by June 2026. This level is marked as the potential cycle bottom, after which prices could begin to rise again. Another expert echoes the bull trap warning, suggesting a sharp correction to $51,000 could start soon. Bitcoin was trading near $78,474 at the time of the report.

Bitcoin Exchange Supply Remains At 8-Year Lows: Bullish Sign?

Bitcoin exchange reserves, a measure of supply held on centralized platforms, have remained near their lowest levels in eight years despite recent price recovery. This stagnant trend, with around 5.6% of BTC's total supply on exchanges, suggests investors are not depositing coins for potential selling, which is typically viewed as a bullish sign. In contrast, Ethereum's exchange supply has seen a recent increase from 4.2% to 4.6%, though it also remains near historical lows. The on-chain data indicates continued holder accumulation for Bitcoin, even as its price trades around $79,400. Analysts note that the significance of exchange reserves alone has evolved with the rise of off-chain investment vehicles like spot ETFs.

Bitcoin Monthly Structure Signals Continuation Of Major Historical Trend

Bitcoin's long-term price pattern on the monthly chart suggests a continuation of a major historical trend, indicating a potentially positive close for May. Historical data shows that when BTC trades above its monthly open by mid-month, it closes positively about 77% of the time. May is currently positioned for this outcome, which would mark three consecutive green monthly candles—a pattern not seen in prior bear markets. While short-term volatility persists with Bitcoin retesting key support levels, analysts note the recent downside was driven more by long liquidations than strong selling pressure. The emergence of trapped short positions at local lows could fuel a move higher if aggressive buying materializes, forcing short coverings. For sustained upside, Bitcoin needs to hold above critical moving averages, though the broader macro trend remains cautious as long as it respects a pattern of lower highs.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Basis Remains High Within Biggest Supply Cluster

Bitcoin's recent recovery from February lows is approaching a critical supply cluster between $84,000 and $88,000, which holds the largest concentration of Bitcoin supply on the current chart. This zone represents the cost basis for short-term holders (investors who bought within the last 155 days) and is stacked with "trapped" sellers who bought near those levels and are now at breakeven. Technical analysis suggests the rally faces significant resistance in this area. Two primary scenarios are outlined: a direct push into the $84k-$86k zone followed by a rejection and pullback to $70,000 support, or a more volatile path involving a dip before testing the supply cluster. A weekly close above $84,000 would weaken the bearish rejection case, but a decisive break above $86,900-$88,000 is needed for a stronger bullish confirmation. Bitcoin is currently trading around $80,430.
