Bitcoin has remained under pressure throughout 2026, but analysts at Bernstein have argued that the cryptocurrency’s weaker performance is helping create a more institution-focused market rather than signaling a long-term problem. According to a research note released Monday by Bernstein’s…
Ethereum has reclaimed the $1,650 level after the massive drop that defined last week’s market action — a recovery attempt that has provided some relief after a correction that tested the resolve of even the most conviction-driven holders. The bounce is welcome — but data from Arkham Intelligence has surfaced the trading history of a wallet that made the drop look like exactly what it was: an anticipated event rather than a surprise.

Monday’s Bitcoin (BTC) rebound—pushing back above the $63,00 area—has revived a major question: was last Friday’s drop to $59,000 the bottom for BTC? Seeking to answer that, market analyst Ali Martinez released a new technical note on X (formerly Twitter), arguing that Bitcoin appears poised to reach a market bottom while a “major macro accumulation cycle” begins to form. Why The Sell-off Could Signal A Bottom In Martinez’s view, BTC’s decline to its lowest level since 2024 served as an important cleansing function for the market—effectively shaking out “overleveraged premiums” across the board. That type of flush, Martinez argues, is often what makes bottoms possible: it removes leverage stress and forces late and speculative positions to unwind.
