The post BTC Below Cost Basis: Support Turns Resistance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin’s latest bounce kept failing in the same band: the high‑$70,000s. Each push stalled, and sellers appeared where dips used to get bought. That is not just a chart pattern—it is an on‑chain shift. Fresh cohort cost bases are now overhead. The recent 30‑day cost‑basis zone—the breakeven for late buyers—has flipped from a floor into a ceiling. When that happens, rallies look like exit liquidity. Add options flows and ETF redemptions, and you have a recipe for “support turned resistance” that goes beyond narratives and shows up in the data. The Big Picture Editor’s note: In Q2 2026 I watched a familiar pattern return: cost-basis bands that acted as springboards earlier in the year became sell zones exactly when ETF flows cooled and options skew leaned defensive. Several desks I speak with flagged how a compressed realized vol backdrop made negative gamma near key strikes far more consequenti
The post Crypto Sentiment Reaches Most ‘Lopsided Positive’ Ratio for 2026: Santiment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The feeling toward Bitcoin on social media has reached its most bullish level of the year, even as the overall crypto market is down, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment. “Sentiment on Bitcoin has spiked to 2.23 bullish comments for every bearish one — the most lopsided positive ratio of 2026,” Santiment said in a report published on Saturday. “The previous two biggest positive-ratio days of the year preceded short-term price pullbacks, while severely negative readings marked local bottoms. The current euphoria contrasts sharply with the bearish ETF flow picture and warrants caution,” Santiment said. Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged their tenth consecutive trading day of outflows on Friday, with total net redemptions exceeding $2.97 billion since May 15.

Bitcoin’s oversold bounce from $72.5K support sets up a 65% probability move to $82K+ within 6 weeks, but only after retesting $68K psychological support first.
Market Context: Why BTC is Moving Now Bitcoin’s current consolidation around $73.6K reflects a classic mid-cycle correction that’s shaking out leveraged longs while institutional accumulation continues below the surface. The January optimism has given way to reality-checking price action, creating the foundation for the next major move. The derivatives market reveals the underlying strength – funding rates at a neutral 0.0035% indicate no frothy speculation, while open interest climbing 2.36% in 24 hours shows serious players adding positions. This isn’t capitulation; it’s consolidation before the next leg higher, as Blockchain.news has been tracking in similar historical pa
The post Stocks at Records as Oil Eases, Iran Tensions Linger appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The S&P 500 closed at a new record on 26 May 2026, finishing at 7,519.47 as megacap tech and resilient earnings pushed indices to fresh highs Reuters reported. Just days earlier, oil fell hard after U.S. President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were in “final stages,” sending Brent to roughly $105.76 and WTI to about $99.22 on 20 May—a 4–5% slide on the day, per Reuters. But relief has limits. On 27 May, OFAC sanctioned Iran’s new Persian Gulf Strait Authority—linked to the IRGC and accused of extorting vessels transiting Hormuz—adding it to the U.S. SDN list U.S. Department of the Treasury. Meanwhile, U.S. data cited by Reuters showed a near 10 million-barrel weekly draw from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve around that week—a record move that tightens safety stocks even as prices dip.

The post Bitcoin Spot, Futures Buyers Show Up But Is It Enough? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin ETF selling overwhelmed markets again after last week’s $1.42 billion outflow followed the previous week’s $1.26 billion outflow. BTC’s subsequent fall to $72,500 raised concerns that the price would slip back into the $60,000 to $70,000 range that BTC was locked in during February through April, but Cointelegraph’s reporting showed spot volumes kicking in to defend the $70,000 support.
