The size and scope of the US stock market “gives policymakers a strong incentive to backstop major drawdowns,” said Bitget Wallet COO, Alvin Kan. Crypto markets could benefit from increased liquidity if the US central bank steps in to support the $75 trillion equity market in a bear market, as it is "too big and too important to fail,” according to analysts. The US equity market has grown by 68% over the past five years and has added roughly $6 trillion in market value so far this year. However, analysts and experts, such as goldbug Peter Schiff, have warned that years of rapid growth could be setting up the market for a major correction. Such a correction could see the Fed "break decades of precedent" and buy equity ETFs to support the stock market, Bloomberg's ETF expert Eric Balchunas said on Tuesday, while other analysts said the resulting move to increase liquidity could set up an environment for cryptocurrencies to benefit.

Some Bitcoin analysts point to a deeper downside risk, while others believes they can see the early signs of a recovery. Bitcoin is trading in a market that’s getting harder to define. Hovering around $64,000 at the time of writing, Bitcoin is down by almost 50% from its cycle peak. That's a much shallower draw down than previous cycles, but the bull run this time around did not reach the same heights. The 2025 rally was driven by exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, post-halving momentum and renewed institutional demand, pushing the market to a new all-time high of more than $126,000 in October 2025.

“We continue to view the current macro environment as a headwind for Bitcoin,” 10x Research’s Markus Thielen said. Market analysts have cautioned that Bitcoin and gold may face further headwinds this year following a 4.2% annual increase in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) in May, according to figures released on Wednesday. The surge in the consumer price index, a broad gauge of goods and services costs across the US economy, deflated hopes that the central bank will reduce rates, with some analysts now expecting rate hikes later this year — bad news for riskier assets such as crypto. US inflation surges to a three-year high. Source: Trading Economics  Bitcoin has already had a troubling first half of the year. Bitcoin prices have fallen 36% since January, while gold is down 23% from its January peak. At the same time, crude oil prices have surged more than 50% over the same period.  Read more

The price of Bitcoin is about $75,800 at the time of publication, a nearly 40% decrease from the all-time high of about $126,000 reached in October 2025. The price of Bitcoin may be headed to the $60,000 level after breaking past a “crucial” support zone between $75,000 and $76,000, according to crypto market analyst Michaël van de Poppe. Bitcoin fell below the support zone on Friday, van de Poppe said, adding that market corrections occurring on Fridays “flip back bullish quite often.” There are also “multiple” Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures gaps above the spot market price, the highest of which is over $79,000, he added. He continued: Read more

Bitcoin price traded below $80,000 as investors braced for the US Senate CLARITY Act markup vote that could see sudden swings toward key BTC price levels.

Analysts say reclaiming $76,000, sustained spot market buy volume and consistent inflows to the Bitcoin ETFs are the necessary components required for a rally to new highs. Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to reclaim price highs above $76,000, but analysts say that the uptrend may continue if key conditions are met. Bitcoin’s 8% climb over the last three days saw it reclaim key levels, including the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $71,000. “$76K is the level that decides everything,” analyst Crypto Patel said in a Wednesday post on X, adding: Read more

BTC price will find it difficult to establish a new record high if Bitcoin developers don't take the quantum threats seriously, one analyst says. A group of Bitcoin (BTC) wallets holding millions of coins could be vulnerable to future quantum attacks, research published by Google, Caltech, and quantum startup Oratomic shows.  Key takeaways: The main risk centers on older addresses with already exposed public keys.

Analysts argued that Circle's selloff was overblown after shares fell Tuesday amid crypto bill developments and a stablecoin rival's moves.

The cost of medical care, apparel, household furnishings, airline fares, and education all rose during the month of February, BLS data shows. The latest rise in the consumer price index (CPI) was “in line with estimates,” and rising inflation has already been priced into the macroeconomic data for the March CPI print, according to market analysts at exchange-traded product (ETP) issuer 21Shares. Shelter rose 0.2% in February, while the food sector of the CPI rose 0.4%, energy increased by 0.6%, and the index for all items, excluding food and energy, rose by 0.2%, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) February CPI report. Stephen Coltman, head of macro at 21shares, said the upcoming CPI prints place even more pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the body that decides interest rate policy. He said:  Read more

Several analysts forecast Bitcoin extending its bear market into late 2026, with potential cycle lows of $30,000 to $45,000 backed by rising exchange reserves. Bitcoin (BTC) sellers returned on Friday, pulling BTC price 5.5% below Wednesday’s high of $70,000 to trade at $65,950 at the time of writing. Several analysts said Bitcoin is “going much lower,” potentially reaching a bottom during the last quarter of 2026. Key takeaways: Analysts forecast BTC price to hit a bottom in Q4 based on various technical and onchain metrics. Read more

Crypto traders blame Jane Street for a daily 10 a.m. Bitcoin dip after a Terraform lawsuit claimed dubious trading practices, but analysts say timing matches broader risk repricing. Cryptocurrency investors accused quantitative trading company Jane Street of pressuring Bitcoin’s price with a daily, programmatic sell-off at the US market open, but market analysts and data suggest the pattern is not consistent, and no single company can force Bitcoin into a prolonged bear market. The claims surged online a day after Terraform Labs’ court-appointed administrator sued Jane Street, alleging insider trading tied to transactions that worsened the collapse of Terra’s algorithmic stablecoin ecosystem in May 2022. Several market watchers, including crypto influencer Justin Bechler, have argued that Jane Street’s holding of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust exchange-traded fund (ETF), known as IBIT, could mask a net short Bitcoin position through hedges that do not appear in public filings. Bechler argued that Jane Stre...

Analysts say Ether’s MVRV Z-Score has entered capitulation territory at -0.42 after falling 30% in a fortnight, though it is still far from its worst score. Ethereum has hit a zone typically associated with mass selling, with an MVRV Z-Score returning a score of -0.42 — though analysts are split on whether the price of Ether is close to bottoming out.  The MVRV Z-Score is a metric used to assess whether a crypto asset is overvalued or undervalued by comparing its market value to its realized value, which reflects the total value of Ether based on the price at which it was last transacted.  The metric was created to identify periods of market euphoria or capitulation when market value was considerably higher or lower than realized value.

The rise and fall of the manufacturing index from mid-2020 through 2023 closely mirrored Bitcoin and the broader crypto market’s price movements over the same timeframe. A metric tracking the health of the US economy has just posted its highest monthly score since August 2022, and crypto analysts say it could signal a turnaround for Bitcoin, which is trading at $78,000. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), a measure of manufacturing activity in the US, recorded a score of 52.6 in January, beating the market consensus of about 48.5 and ending 26 consecutive months of economic contraction, ISM stated in a report on Monday. The index score is a closely watched metric by investors and the Federal Reserve in assessing economic strength, inflation risks, and whether to tighten or ease monetary policy.  Read more

Bitcoin has gained on average in November, but that figure is “skewed” and market participants shouldn’t always rely on it, a crypto executive says. Analysts have questioned whether November deserves its reputation as Bitcoin’s historically “strongest month” after the cryptocurrency dropped 10% over the past seven days and briefly sank below $90,000. “Historical averages suggest strength, but those numbers are skewed and the current backdrop is anything but normal,” James Harris, the CEO of crypto yield provider Tesseract, told Cointelegraph. Harris said that while the break below the long-term average is noteworthy, it is “not the full picture.” Read more
