Will BTC Extend Losses Below $65K After Today’s 3% Decline?

Bitcoin (BTC) declined roughly 3.3% to trade near $66,500, facing strong selling pressure and approaching the key $65,000 support level. The daily chart shows a persistent downtrend with lower highs and lower lows, as BTC remains below declining moving averages. Broader cryptocurrencies like ETH and XRP also fell, reflecting a risk-off sentiment ahead of key U.S. economic data. Technical indicators, including RSI and Bollinger Bands, signal continued bearish momentum. If selling persists, support lies at $65,000, then near $60,800. Resistance is at $70,600. A close below $65,000 could shift focus toward the $60,000–$61,000 zone.

Abu Dhabi funds ‘buy the dip’ with $1B in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF

Despite Bitcoin's significant price decline in late 2025, two Abu Dhabi-based funds, Mubadala Investment Company and Al Warda Investments, collectively invested over $1 billion in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). Mubadala increased its holdings by 46% to $630 million, while Al Warda held $408 million worth of shares, demonstrating strong institutional conviction. However, overall institutional long exposure in IBIT decreased by 10%, and average portfolio allocation dropped 28%, indicating some firms reduced positions due to profit-taking or risk management. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF AUM fell from $95 billion to $57 billion amid broader market declines.

Arthur Hayes Warns of AI-Driven Credit Shock

Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, warns that Bitcoin's recent sharp decline signals an underappreciated credit shock driven by AI. He argues Bitcoin acts as a "fiat liquidity fire alarm," and its drop while Nasdaq held steady indicates tightening dollar liquidity and rising deflation risk. Hayes calculates that AI could replace 20% of the 72.1 million US knowledge workers, many of whom hold significant consumer debt and mortgages. This could trigger an estimated $330 billion in consumer credit losses and $227 billion in mortgage losses, dealing a ~13% hit to US commercial bank equity. While large banks may withstand the shock, regional lenders could face severe stress, leading to credit contraction and weakened economic demand. Hayes points to warning signs like underperforming software stocks, rising credit card delinquencies, and gold outperforming Bitcoin as evidence of defensive positioning. Despite near-term risks, he remains structurally optimistic on Bitcoin, believing a deflationary shock will ultimately force the Federal Reserve to restart aggressive liquidity programs, and political pressure will lead to large-scale money printing.

Crypto Analyst Ted Pillows Points Out Breaking Zone for BTC Upside

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlights that Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating around $68k, with ETFs potentially suppressing a rally. He notes that a break above the $70,000–$71,000 zone is needed for a strong upside, while decent spot bids exist between $60,000–$65,000. Another analyst, Lucky, calls Bitcoin attractive due to its fixed supply of 21 million coins and significant retail ownership (approx. 67%). Amid geopolitical and rate cut uncertainties, BTC is attempting a recovery after a 27.1% monthly drop. Predictions suggest a potential surge to around $76,805 or a more conservative $71,018. The Fed is expected to cut rates in June 2026.

Steak ‘n Shake Reports ‘Dramatic’ Increase In Sales After Bitcoin Adoption

Steak 'n Shake has reported a dramatic increase in same-store sales since adopting Bitcoin as a payment method in May 2025. The company also established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) using proceeds from BTC transactions. In January, it added $15 million to this reserve and introduced a Bitcoin bonus scheme for hourly employees, granting $0.21 in BTC for every hour worked after a two-year vesting period. The firm attributes its success to combining its operations with Bitcoin's transformative power. While treasury company Bitcoin buying has recently declined to 70%, as noted by an analyst, Steak 'n Shake's strategy has proven effective. Bitcoin is currently trading around $68,000.

Bitcoin: Jane Street’s 7.1 mln IBIT buy shows why BTC’s $65k support is fragile

Despite Jane Street's significant purchase of 7.1 million IBIT shares worth $276 million in Q4 2025, Bitcoin continues to face downward pressure. BTC closed the quarter down 24%, and the $65,000 support level remains fragile with five consecutive weekly lower lows. On-chain data indicates rising distribution by long-term holders (LTHs), who are realizing losses and increasing inflows to exchanges. Sentiment is further weakened by ongoing FUD, IBIT's 23% correction in 2026, and a lack of convincing accumulation signals. Overall, HODLing incentive is fading, and Bitcoin shows no clear signs of a bottom.

Bitcoin Didn’t ‘Fail’ Digital Gold: Markets Misread The Thesis, Galaxy’s Thorn Says

Galaxy Digital's head of research, Alex Thorn, refutes the claim that Bitcoin has failed as "digital gold," arguing the term was always about its fundamental monetary properties—scarcity, durability, divisibility, and self-sovereignty—not a guarantee it would trade in lockstep with gold. Thorn emphasizes that Bitcoin's core value proposition, rooted in Satoshi Nakamoto's vision, lies in its unique ability to be transmitted digitally, a feature physical gold lacks. He frames the "digital gold" narrative not as a short-term correlation trade, but as a long-term thesis that the market may eventually value Bitcoin similarly to a monetary metal. Despite recent underperformance relative to gold, Thorn asserts Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong and unchanged.

Bitcoin Distribution Ends: Mid-Cycle Pause Or Start Of A Longer Bear Market?

Bitcoin has faced persistent selling pressure since its October 2025 all-time high near $125,000, with prices dropping sharply toward $60,000. According to analyst Axel Adler, on-chain data—specifically the Entity-Adjusted Liveliness metric—peaked in December 2025 and has since trended downward, historically signaling the end of distribution and the start of accumulation phases. Previous cycles suggest such transitions can last 1.1 to 2.5 years, implying the current market may be entering a prolonged restructuring period rather than a brief pause. Investors are monitoring both price action and on-chain signals to gauge whether further downside risk or stabilization lies ahead.
