Bitcoin (BTC) price has been trying to recover since May 12 but it has not been able to regain the previous breakout level.

Unless Bitcoin manages to do so in the near future, the downtrend will continue.

Technical analysis from the daily timeframe gives a bearish prediction for Bitcoin. This is due to a breakdown below the dominant head and shoulders pattern, which is considered a bearish pattern.

The pattern is formed with the top in the middle being higher than the peaks on either side and is completed after the price breaks below the pattern.

After the next bounce, BTC price validated the neckline of the pattern as resistance (red icon) on May 15 and declined over the next 24 hours.

A downward move equal to the height of the pattern will take BTC price to $23,300. This target also coincides with the 0.5 Fib retracement support, so it is likely to act as the bottom of this movement.

The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) favors a continuation of the downtrend as it lies below 50 and slopes down.

There are two potential wave counts for future motion. The number of bearish waves shows that BTC price has completed a 5-wave upward movement (black). If so, it is trading inside the ABC corrective structure (white).

This structure will bring the price towards the 0.5 Fib retracement support at $23,400, which is close to the target of the pattern.

The bullish wave count shows that BTC is currently in wave four of a five-wave bullish impulse. So, another rally to $33,000 is expected.

While this doesn't fit the forward head and shoulders pattern, it does fit the parallel channel connecting the tops of wave one and three.

A drop of BTC price below the top of wave 1 at $25,270 (red line) will confirm that the number of bearish waves is correct. This is because the Elliott wave theory indicates that wave four cannot enter the territory of wave one (red line).

In addition, this also caused a breakdown from the parallel channel and caused the BTC price to drop to $23,200.

Bitcoin eyes $81K as Nvidia earnings beat boosts risk assets

Bitcoin rebounded towards $81,000, boosted by a positive reaction in risk assets following Nvidia's strong Q2 earnings beat of $96.2 billion. The move helped BTC reclaim the $80,000 level as market attention turned to an upcoming keynote speech by Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole symposium. Analysts noted that sell-side pressure above $82,000 appears to be weakening ahead of a major $6.58 billion Bitcoin options expiry event on Friday, which could pave the way for a cleaner path toward $85,000 if resistance is broken.

Huge Surprise for Altcoin: They Bought Back All Tokens Sold by Major Investors Over the Past 9 Months

The Ethena Foundation has announced four key updates to significantly alter the $ENA token's economics and governance structure. First, the Foundation has repurchased all locked tokens from major early investors who sold any amount of $ENA over the past nine months, aiming to reduce future sell-side pressure. Second, a General Framework Agreement transfers all intellectual property rights and economic value generated by the Ethena protocol to the Foundation, to be governed by $ENA token holders, not company shareholders. Third, a "fee switch" mechanism proposal is up for vote; if approved, all net protocol revenue will be used for automatic $ENA buybacks, directly channeling earnings back into the token economy. Finally, new agreements with major investors aim to mitigate potential sell pressure from upcoming monthly venture capital token unlocks. These measures collectively seek to align protocol value with token holders and stabilize the token's supply dynamics.

Solana Proposals Could Lead to Reduction in Staking Yields to 2.25% and Cut Emissions by $1.5 Billion

Solana is moving towards a stricter monetary model that could lead to a SOL deficit and significantly reduce staking rewards for holders. Two governance proposals drive these changes. SIMD-550, currently under vote, would double Solana's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, accelerating the timeline to reach a final inflation rate of ~1.5% to the first half of 2029. The second, SIMD-553 (already approved), introduces additional token burning tied to computational units used on the network. Together, these measures could reduce SOL emission by an estimated $1.4-$1.5 billion over six years. The immediate impact would be lower staking yields, potentially falling from the current ~5.25% to approximately 4.34% in year one, 3% in year two, and 2.25% by year three. Analyst Matt Mena from 21Shares suggests inflation should be tied to economic metrics to help offset this decline. The changes also raise concerns for validator economics, with some potentially becoming unprofitable as inflation rewards decrease and voting costs may rise. However, the lower passive yield might push a significant portion of the 67.9% staked SOL into Solana's DeFi ecosystem for activities like lending and trading. This shift could boost network fee revenue to compensate for lower inflation rewards. The proposals aim to trade lower yield today for less dilution tomorrow, betting that network growth and usage will make this a worthwhile trade-off for SOL holders.

Chairman of Olympic Committee detained in Poland over crypto scandal

The Chairman of the Polish Olympic Committee, Radosław Piesiewicz, was detained in Warsaw in connection with a case involving the cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto. The detention was carried out on the order of the Katowice National Prosecutor's Office and the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime. Piesiewicz denies the allegations, claiming he never had accounts on the exchange or dealt in cryptocurrency, and links the detention to political persecution. He has led the Olympic Committee since 2023 and is also a parliamentarian for the Law and Justice party. The prosecutor's office initiated the case in April 2026 on grounds of fraud and money laundering amounting to approximately 350 million PLN (around €80 million). The investigation found the exchange was used to transfer funds abroad and cash out criminal proceeds, with clients unable to withdraw their assets. A total of 13 people are implicated, including the exchange's founder. Zondacrypto became the general sponsor of the Polish Olympic Committee and team in October 2025, with a contract lasting until 2028. In April 2026, Piesiewicz stated the committee could not terminate the agreement without incurring unaffordable penalties. The investigation revealed Piesiewicz received expensive gifts from exchange representatives, including a €40,000 watch, as well as paid trips to Monaco and Bergamo.

Charles Schwab adda Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to nascent crypto platform

U.S. financial services giant Charles Schwab plans to add Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) to its direct crypto trading platform, Schwab Crypto, in the coming months. The platform, launched for retail clients in May, previously only offered Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) trading. Schwab charges a 0.75% fee per crypto trade and the service is available in most U.S. states. This expansion into more digital assets coincides with the firm's reported plans to offer prediction market contracts tied to the S&P 500 index. Schwab, which holds over $13 trillion in client assets, reported record second-quarter net revenue of $7.1 billion.
