Bitcoin Wyckoff Accumulation Is About To Do Something That No One Is Expecting

A crypto analyst warns that Bitcoin is forming a classic Wyckoff Accumulation pattern, a setup historically known for causing severe price drops to shake out ordinary investors before a major rally. The expert, NoName, states that key early stages of the pattern are complete on the weekly chart. He predicts one final sharp decline to around $52,000—the "Spring" phase—which would trigger panic selling and stop losses. This potential bottom is identified as a prime buying opportunity for "smart money." If the pattern plays out fully, Bitcoin could subsequently break through resistance near $76,000 and eventually rally toward $110,000.

Strive Deepens Bitcoin Bet With Fresh 1,109 BTC Purchase

Strive Asset Management has increased its Bitcoin holdings by purchasing an additional 1,109 BTC, bringing its total to 16,500 BTC valued at roughly $1.3 billion. This move solidifies its position as the seventh-largest public company by Bitcoin treasury. The firm is expanding in the "digital credit" sector, notably through its SATA preferred shares which offer a 13% annualized dividend paid daily. Meanwhile, rival firm Strategy's STRC product, a dominant Bitcoin-backed security, recently saw a record $1.53 billion in daily trading volume. Strive continues to use equity-linked financing, including stock sales, to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions.

Galaxy Weighs Theories After $8.3M Bitcoin Burn Mystery

Galaxy Research is investigating a mysterious Bitcoin transaction where approximately 107 BTC (worth $8.3 million) was deliberately sent to a provably unspendable "burn" address. The primary question is the motive behind destroying such a large sum. Galaxy proposed several theories, including a tax-loss strategy (though deemed unlikely for old coins), a religious or ideological act, an attempt to dispose of illicit funds, or coercion. The firm suggested a plausible explanation could be an automated error, where a trading system mistakenly sent funds to a known burn address labeled "Counterparty" instead of the intended recipient. Galaxy acknowledged all theories are speculative, and the true reason may never be known.

Bitcoin Sentiment Back To Extreme Fear As Price Slips Under $76,000

The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has fallen back into "extreme fear" territory with a value of 25, following a recent price retracement. Bitcoin's price has slipped below $75,500 after briefly recovering above $77,000. Historically, such extreme fear levels have been associated with potential market bottoms, though the indicator can remain in this zone for extended periods before a reversal. Concurrently, social media sentiment analysis shows bearish commentary currently outweighing bullish sentiment, reflecting broader market pessimism.

Gold, Fiat, or Bitcoin: Which Will Dominate Global Finance in 10 Years?

In an increasingly multipolar world moving away from the post-1991 unipolar era dominated by the US dollar, the global monetary system is shifting towards multipolarity. Gold remains a key non-sovereign store of value due to its size, liquidity, and immunity from devaluation or seizure. Diversification into multiple fiat currencies is a practical but inefficient option. Bitcoin presents a novel, decentralized, and fast-settling digital ledger, though its widespread adoption faces challenges of security, network effects, and volatility. Its success depends on whether individuals value financial sovereignty enough to overcome adoption barriers. By 2036, gold and major fiat currencies will likely remain significant, but Bitcoin has the potential to rival their scale if it maintains security and gains broader acceptance for its unique attributes of self-custody and permissionless transactions.

Here’s Why Bitcoin Could Feel The Pressure From Surging US Equity Shorts

Bitcoin's recent pullback toward $75,000 may face further downside pressure due to developments in the U.S. stock market. An analyst warns that surging short interest in U.S. equities, now at historically high levels, could significantly impact Bitcoin. This activity reflects a complex market structure where institutional investors are increasing hedges while maintaining long positions, leading to high leverage. Concentration in AI mega-cap stocks is leaving other sectors vulnerable. Historically, Bitcoin has moved with U.S. equities during risk-off events, like the 2020 COVID crash. While it showed correlation with the S&P 500 from 2020-2022, a divergence has emerged since 2025. Bitcoin's recent volatility has been driven by its own factors like spot buying pressure and ETF inflows, suggesting it may be evolving into a hybrid asset class with its own market dynamics. However, it remains sensitive to broader macro liquidity conditions.

Major Bitcoin Players Drop Over A Billion In Sell-Offs While Euphoria Rocks Retail

Major Bitcoin holders engaged in significant sell-offs while retail sentiment remained bullish. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw over $1 billion in outflows across consecutive trading days, with its total holdings dropping from a peak near $75.5 billion in mid-May to below $67 billion by May 26. Simultaneously, a Satoshi-era miner moved 2,650 BTC (worth ~$203 million) to over-the-counter desks. Despite this substantial selling pressure from large wallets, Bitcoin's price held above $76,000, supported by apparent retail demand and "dip-buying" sentiment on social media, highlighting a current market divide between institutional actions and retail investor behavior.

Bitcoin Vs. The S&P: How The Stock Market Predicts The BTC Bottom Before the Rally

Analyst Chain Mind correlates Bitcoin's bottom with the S&P 500's performance, noting BTC has historically not bottomed before the stock market. With the S&P 500 still reaching new all-time highs without a significant retrace, Chain Mind argues Bitcoin's final low is likely not yet in. He suggests the S&P is showing classic topping signals, implying a market dump is imminent, which would precede a BTC bottom. Further analysis points to Bitcoin potentially forming a Head-and-Shoulders topping pattern on charts. Analyst Colin notes a break below the pattern's neckline could target $65,000 or lower. Chain Mind also observes a weekly Head-and-Shoulders, expecting a dump to mark a final bottom around $50,000. Currently, Bitcoin trades around $75,500, down over 24 hours.

Mystery Bitcoin Whale Dumps $1.3B In BlackRock’s IBIT As Market Barely Blinks

An unidentified entity sold approximately $1.3 billion worth of shares in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, in a large dark pool block trade on Tuesday morning. ETF analysts, including Galaxy's Alex Thorn and Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas, confirmed the unprecedented 29-million-share transaction. Notably, the market absorbed the massive sale with minimal price disruption to IBIT. This sale occurs amid a broader trend of significant outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Recent weeks have seen over $2.5 billion in net outflows, with IBIT itself accounting for $1.008 billion in outflows during the May 18–22 period. Analysts suggest the sustained selling pressure, despite the market's resilience, may indicate institutional skittishness in a rising inflation and interest rate environment. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading around $75,730.
