Bitcoin profit-taking may 'accelerate' as price hits 3-month high: Analyst


Despite the short-term price recovery, Bitcoin remains in a bear market, according to CryptoQuant analyst Julio Moreno.Bitcoin profit-taking could accelerate as BTC prices climb to three-month highs and investors begin locking in gains, according to Julio Moreno, head of research at onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant.

Holders realized 14,600 BTC in profits on Monday, or $1.1 billion, following Bitcoin's April rally, Moreno said, adding that this is the “highest” single day of profit-taking since Dec. 10, when BTC was trading above $90,000
The Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH-SOPR), an onchain metric that gauges profit-taking by wallets that have held BTC for less than 155 days, also rose above 1, a level that indicates “clear profit-taking territory,” he added. He said:

“Bitcoin holders are realizing more than 20,000 BTC in net profits on a 30-day rolling basis, the first positive reading since December 22, 2025, following a period of heavy net losses in February and March that reached as deep as 398,000 BTC.”
Spikes in realized profit levels during crypto bear markets typically signal local price tops or sideways price action, Moreno said, adding that despite the rise in realized profits, demand has not caught up, and BTC remains in a bear market.

Bitcoin stalls as BTC ETF outflows hit $268M: Will new Fed chair restore the rally?

Rising Bitcoin ETF outflows and liquidations signal short-term caution, but a weak DXY and the eventual appointment of a new Fed chair could resume the rally.A weakening US dollar and higher government debt favor scarce assets, even as spot Bitcoin ETF outflows and low retail demand spark some concern.
Traders expect Kevin Warsh to become Fed Chair, which could benefit Bitcoin.
Bitcoin (BTC) stagnated near $80,000 on Friday following a rejection at $82,500. Traders grew anxious after US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted $268 million in net outflows on Thursday. 

Meanwhile, $270 million in leveraged bullish Bitcoin futures positions were liquidated within 24 hours, forcing investors to evaluate whether a sustained bear market is finally taking hold.The reversal in Bitcoin spot ETF flows on Thursday broke a four-day positive streak. This shift is particularly notable because the S&P 500 Index surged to an all-time high on Friday. There is no evidence of a broad derisking trend across traditional markets, as the US small-cap Russell 2000 Index remains within 2% of its own record peak.

Weaker US dollar and odds of Strategic Bitcoin Reserves
While Bitcoin derivatives show moderate bearishness, two distinct factors support a sustained bull run. The US dollar has weakened against other major fiat currencies over the past two months. Whether intended by the US administration or not, this move reduces incentives to hold US Treasuries, especially given the current high oil prices.The growing US government debt creates an environment favoring scarce assets. Even if the stock market and gold remain the primary options for most investors, Bitcoin tends to benefit from a weaker US dollar.

Regardless of the macroeconomic environment, expectations are rising that the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could start adding BTC, and Kevin Warsh is expected to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell in the near term. Warsh recently reported significant holdings in cryptocurrency assets and companies and has previously expressed pro-Bitcoin views.While still considered a long shot, the path to budget-neutral strategies for acquiring Bitcoin has been cited by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in the past. Consequently, potential outflows from fixed-income investments due to a weaker US dollar and higher inflation increase the odds of sustained bullish momentum in Bitcoin.

The recent outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs do not necessarily indicate that a bear market is underway, even if top traders’ current positioning signals a lack of confidence in a short-term rally.

Federal Reserve releases Financial Stability Report assessing US financial systemThe Federal Reserve Board has released its latest Financial Stability Report, a semi-annual deep dive into the health of the US financial system. The headline finding: the system is under more pressure than usual, with global risks stacking up, a balance sheet that’s grown to roughly 21% of nominal GDP, and stress test projections that assume things could get meaningfully worse before they get better.

The balance sheet problem
The Fed’s balance sheet sits at approximately $6.5 trillion, about 21% of nominal GDP. Governor Stephen Miran has outlined a proposal for gradually shrinking that figure by $1 to $2 trillion.

Miran has laid out four reasons for the reduction. First, shrinking the Fed’s footprint in financial markets. Second, lowering the probability of losses on the Fed’s own portfolio. Third, safeguarding the boundary between monetary policy and fiscal policy. And fourth, preserving the flexibility to expand the balance sheet again if the economy takes another dive.

Stress tests paint a grim picture
The report’s stress test scenarios anticipate a 58% drop in equity prices in the projected severe scenario for 2026. In this same scenario, CPI inflation would fall to 1%, and the 3-month Treasury rate would sit at 3.1% through the first quarter of 2029. Unemployment would rise meaningfully in this scenario, with a potential recession stretching from 2026 into 2029.

These are stress test scenarios, not forecasts. The Fed designs them to be severe by construction to see whether banks and financial institutions can survive the worst-case playbook.

The crypto-shaped hole in the report
Despite the explosive growth of digital asset markets, the report contains no meaningful assessment of cryptocurrency-related risks. The Fed’s stability reports have hist

BTCUSD holds above $81000 as demand for riskier assets increases. It reaches an high of $82833 and is currently trading at roughly $81273. As Bitcoin holds above the USD 81,000 level, its realised profit has recently turned positive, indicating stabilising market circumstances and renewed bullish attitude. On May 4, 2026, this indicator, which adds up the USD gains from on-chain transactions where coins are transferred at prices higher than their purchase cost, reached a one-cycle high of around USD 208 million. Although recent hourly data shows profit-taking levels hitting as high as USD 534 million, the absence of strong selling pressure points to holders calmly taking profits instead of panicking. Though experts are watchful for possible indications of market weariness or local cycle tops, this change from the zero net profit levels found in early 2026 suggests increasing confidence in the current price floors.    TechnicalsCMP -$81273Trend4- Hour chartValue  55 EMA$79305CMP>55 EMABullish200- EMA$75993CMP >200- EMABullish365- EMA$74820CMP>365 EMABullish Major support- $76000/ $74800/$74000/$73290/$70000/$67000/$64000/$60000. Minor bullishness only above $81000.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has confirmed a US-brokered prisoner exchange with Russia, the first such swap since October 2025. The deal, facilitated through trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, returned 314 captives, split evenly at 157 from each side.

US Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff described the mediation as detailed and productive, while acknowledging that significant work remains before anything resembling a lasting peace takes shape.

The exchange took place on May 8, 2026, breaking a months-long drought in prisoner swaps between Kyiv and Moscow. The last successful exchange occurred on October 2, 2025, and the gap had become a barometer for just how frozen diplomatic channels had become.

Abu Dhabi served as the neutral venue for trilateral negotiations, with the US playing mediator. Witkoff’s involvement signals a renewed American willingness to broker incremental steps toward de-escalation, even if a comprehensive ceasefire remains elusive.

Zelenskiy has not confirmed any ceasefire talks, and Witkoff himself framed the situation carefully, noting progress toward ending the conflict without claiming the finish line is anywhere close.

Searches across major crypto publications turned up no coverage of the prisoner exchange. Bitcoin’s price action around the event showed no meaningful deviation from its existing trend.

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, Ukraine has raised over $250 million in cryptocurrency donations to support its war efforts, with a significant portion coming from Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Ukrainian government legalized digital assets in 2022, contributing to a booming local sector.

For Bitcoin specifically, the more immediate drivers remain unchanged. Monetary policy trajectories, ETF flows, and on-chain metrics are still doing the heavy lifting in terms of

Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Intel (INTC) have reached an agreement for Intel to make chips in Apple devices, according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal provides Intel with a foundational customer for its nascent foundry business and could provide the chipmaker with the financial resources to continue investing in new semiconductor technologies. WSJ’s reporting helped fuel a 15% rally for INTC stock, while AAPL is also up a modest 2%.JUST IN: Apple and Intel $INTC reach agreement for Intel to make chips in Apple devices, WSJ reports. pic.twitter.com/SbN4ZxU52U— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) May 8, 2026INTC is already up over 240% YTD, one of the best performers among chip stocks on Wall Street, even outperforming NVDA. The iPhone maker has had a long-time reliance on chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). However, Intel has made its way up the hierarchy of semiconductor technology, and Apple is looking to interweave with the resurgent chipmaker.It’s still unclear which Apple products Intel would make chips for as part of the deal. Apple ships more than 200 million iPhones per year, as well as millions of iPads and Mac computers. Neither Intel nor Apple immediately commented on the reported deal or provided any specific dollar figures for it. Prior reports had indicated that Intel might initially make chips for Apple’s M series, which power the company’s desktop and laptop computers, some high-end iPads, and its Apple Vision Pro headset.
