The post Bitcoin Profit-Taking Cascade Could Extend Bear Market To Early 2027, CryptoQuant Warns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin investors hoping for a quick trend reversal are running out of near-term catalysts. A new on-chain update from CryptoQuant lays out a profit-taking cascade that has been grinding downward since October 2025. If the historical pattern holds, the bearish phase may not break until early 2027. Ki Young Ju, CryptoQuant’s founder, pointed to a typical 18-month decline in investor profit and loss after a cascade begins. With the trend flipping in October 2025, the math places the cycle low somewhere around April 2027. The market is still deep inside the window where realized profits keep falling and unrealized profits remain elevated—a combination that has historically suppressed sustained recoveries. Profit-Taking Cascades and the 18-Month Cycle A profit-taking cascade isn’t just a short-term sell-off. It marks a phase where rising costs and shrinking
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.

The post Quiet Altcoin Accumulation Persists As Market Slumps: CryptoQuant appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Public sentiment around altcoins has turned distinctly glum. Social media chatter, forum threads, and even some derivatives positioning suggest that many traders have written off the chance of a broad altcoin season any time soon. Yet the latest on-chain data from CryptoQuant points to a different reality. Altcoin volume continues to rise, a trend that analyst @CW8900 describes as evidence of quiet accumulation happening while the broader market remains sluggish. The divergence between what retail investors are saying and what on-chain flows are showing creates a tension that experienced market watchers rarely ignore. Volume data from exchange wallets and aggregate blockchain activity has been climbing across a range of altcoin networks, not just the top handful. The persistence of this increase, even during weeks when altcoin prices have struggled to hold recent levels, sugg

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

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.

XRP investment products pulled in close to $12 million in a single day on May 29, pushing total net inflows to roughly $1.42 billion — the token’s strongest ETF month of 2026 so far. Yet despite that institutional interest, XRP is still trading near $1.34, far below where some of its loudest supporters say it should be.

The post Hyperliquid’s HYPE rally is bigger than a new all-time high appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Hyperliquid HYPE rally reached a new HYPE all-time high of $68.64 on May 30, extending a month that has already delivered roughly 50% in gains and over $1.4 billion in single-day trading volume. The HYPE price move came the day after the CFTC approved KalshiEX’s BTCPERP contract, the first Bitcoin perpetual futures product cleared for listing on a US-regulated exchange, and one day after ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher said that Hyperliquid is “bigger than Nasdaq” and that his team has met the founders multiple times. Two US-listed spot HYPE ETFs, Bitwise’s BHYP and 21Shares’ THYP, had already crossed $136 million in cumulative net inflows within 13 trading sessions by May 29. Traders are reevaluating Hyperliquid’s position in a market where the product category it built at scale just received US regulatory recognition, where a regulated ETF wrapper gives institutional allocators dire
