Ethereum is struggling below $1,700 as aggressive selling pressure defines the market structure and the recovery that once appeared to be building has now given back a significant portion of its gains. The price is at levels that are testing the resolve of holders who maintained positions through the earlier correction — and CryptoQuant data […]
Bitcoin is struggling as the price tests $62,000 as support — a level that would represent a significant extension of the correction from the cycle highs and a test of the structural foundation that bulls have been pointing to throughout the decline. The weakness is real and the selling pressure is persistent — and XWIN Research Japan has published an analysis that cuts through the competing macro narratives to identify what the on-chain data suggests is the actual driver of the current correction.

XWIN Research Japan’s CryptoQuant analysis suggests a simpler and more fundamental explanation: buyers disappeared. The engine that powered Bitcoin’s 2024 to 2025 rally was not leverage, not retail momentum, and not speculative excess. It was consistent and sus
Bitcoin’s recent pullback has significantly flipped the sentiment across the market, with many predicting a more sustained downward performance toward the $60,000 price mark. Following this sharp decline, more investors are now underwater as BTC’s holders’ profitability strongly declines. Bitcoin’s Sharp Decline Leaves More Holders Underwater Given its persistent downward trend over the past weeks, […]
Veteran crypto analyst Bob Loukas says Bitcoin has entered the final stage of its current four-year cycle, but warned that the market may still need another leg lower before a durable cycle bottom is in place. In his latest “4-Year Journey” update, published on June 4, Loukas framed Bitcoin’s recent retest of its February lows as a largely expected development rather than a break from historical cycle behavior. He argued that Bitcoin’s rebound into May, when price approached the low-$80,000 range after a decline toward $60,000 in February, looked like a countertrend move inside a broader bear-market structure. “A cycle very rarely, and I mean less than 10%, probably more like 5%, will end very early and also on the first significant decline from the high,” Loukas said. “There’s always a retest. There’s generally always a lower low, at least one lower low, if not a second lower low.” Loukas said Bitcoin peaked in October and later broke below its 10-month moving average, which he treats
The XRP price has continued its downward sweep, currently trading slightly around $1.1 after declining over 14% this week. As upward momentum and trading activity weaken, on-chain reports reveal that the market is now being dominated by bearish pressure and extreme Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). While most would expect these negative trends to further […]
Bitcoin’s market structure is increasingly reflecting the growing influence of major investors, as institutional capital continues to shape price action, liquidity, and overall sentiment. Unlike earlier cycles driven largely by retail participation, today’s market dynamics are more closely tied to the behavior of large entities whose positioning can significantly impact short-term trends and long-term direction. How Capital Allocation Decisions Affect Bitcoin Performance Bitcoin’s recent volatility should be viewed through the lens of market cycles rather than short-term fear or speculation. In a post on X, crypto analyst EliZ mentioned that, at this stage, BTC appears to be driven more by capital flows and the decisions of larger investors than by retail investor sentiment. Sharp price movements, liquidation cascades, and the sudden shift in liquidity are all part of the game and often create the perception of significant market manipulation.

Crypto markets endured further pressure this week as the sell-off spread to some of the industry’s largest digital asset treasuries (DATs). As of Friday, Bitcoin (BTC) had slipped back below $60,000 for the first time since 2024, Ethereum (ETH) was trading around $1,550, and Hyperliquid (HYPE) was near $57. While the declines weighed on the broader market, the impact has been most visible in the large treasury companies associated with BTC and ETH—specifically Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine (BMNR). Hyperliquid Strategies (PURR), however, has continued to post gains on an unrealized basis, highlighting how its performance still outpaces the market’s major benchmarks. Hyperliquid Strategies Avoids The Worst With $1.2B Gains According to Artemis data, Strategy and Bitmine are carrying significant unrealized losses of about $12.8 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. In contrast, Hyperliquid Strategies is positioned differently. Artemis data further indicates that Hyperliquid Strategies
