Bitcoin trades below most holders’ cost basis, but a rally above $74,500 could change everything. Can the bulls pull it off? Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded 7.45% over the past two days after dropping to $62,400 on Tuesday, below a key onchain price support. Despite the bounce, holders who bought six months to two years ago remain at an average cost of $74,500, a level that now stands as a potential inflection point. As BTC moves higher, the concentration of supply around $74,500 stands as a key test for the current trend; a decisive reclaim of that level may signal demand and a shift in short-term market structure. Bitcoin’s realized price tracks the average onchain acquisition cost for a given UTXO age band. For coins aged 18 to 24 months, that level stands near $64,200. Read more

Bitcoin institutional flows are cooling while its long-term holders and network participants absorb the supply. In a range-bound regime, these are the key signals to watch. Since dropping by 35% from Jan. 14 to Feb. 5, Bitcoin (BTC) has consolidated in a range from $60,000 to $70,000 over the past 22 days. At the same time, several BTC adoption-linked metrics are moving in different directions across exchange-traded funds (ETFs), whales, miners and corporate Bitcoin treasuries. These divergences highlight steady capital commitment beneath muted price action and how each signal fits into the bigger picture. The 90-day rolling average of US spot Bitcoin ETF net flows has dropped to -$2.18 billion. Over the past two years, the metric has turned negative only twice: from March to May 2025, and in the current stretch that began on December 11, 2025. In both instances, Bitcoin followed with a corrective phase. Read more

In an interview with Cointelegraph, CEO Nic Puckrin breaks down the forces behind Bitcoin’s bear market and what could come next in 2026. In an exclusive Cointelegraph interview, crypto YouTuber and CEO of Coin Bureau Nic Puckrin says he expects 2026 to play out as a “tale of two crypto markets” — institutional conviction on one side, and near-total retail apathy on the other.  While headlines have been dominated by exchange-traded funds, policy shifts and big-money adoption, he argues that the everyday investor isn’t showing up the way they did in previous cycles — and he explains why that matters for what comes next. He also revisits the debate around Bitcoin’s “four-year cycle.” Many traders declared the old playbook dead after an unusual run-up before the halving and the absence of a classic blow-off top. However, Puckrin outlines why recent price behavior has forced even skeptics to reconsider their views.  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...

US President Donald Trump has influenced cryptocurrency market movements through his policies and speeches declaring ambitious crypto goals. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced a raft of new tariffs in response to a Supreme Court decision that ruled many of his previous tariff hikes unconstitutional. Following news of the tariff hikes, crypto markets tumbled in an all-too-familiar pattern that has plagued the industry since April 2025, when Trump introduced the first spate of aggressive tariffs. Analysts have long noted the downward pressure these tariffs have put on crypto markets. But the US’ 47th president also has the distinct ability to pump markets. Read more
