A rare signal, dreaded by traders, has resurfaced on the bitcoin chart. For the first time since 2022, the asset crosses a critical technical zone, reviving the memory of a prolonged bear market. This moving average crossover, often associated with lasting reversals, fuels concerns of an already seen scenario. While post-halving euphoria struggles to convince, this return to a forgotten configuration could well mark an unexpected turning point in the current BTC cycle.

Bitcoin has extended its decline following a sharp market shock in October, while traditional safe-haven assets continue to climb. Data from on-chain analytics and price movements suggest investors are withdrawing funds from crypto and shifting toward assets seen as more stable during periods of uncertainty. A falling stablecoin supply has added to concerns that a broader market recovery may take longer to materialize.

The crypto market is starting to lift its head again after turbulent weeks. And when the head of Ripple takes a public stand, the signal deserves decoding.

Metaplanet has just sent a clear signal to the market: the company does not intend to let its trajectory be dictated by a set of accounting entries. Yes, the company expects a heavy annual loss in 2025. And yet, it is raising its operational targets and announcing almost a doubling of sales in 2026. Said like that, it sounds like a paradox. In reality, it is mainly a clash of vocabulary between accounting and cash.

While bitcoin seemed to be initiating a rebound at the beginning of this year, the momentum suddenly froze. Around 88,000 dollars, the asset struggles to convince, held back by a climate of political and monetary uncertainty. Institutional investors are easing off, cooled by tensions in Washington and the Fed's wait-and-see approach. While some indicators reveal a continued upward trend, signals from the derivatives markets tell another story: that of a market that doubts, observes, and waits.

While volatility continues to drive the crypto market, Bitmine Immersion Technologies charts a more structured path. The company reveals a clear strategy: to turn its Ethereum holdings into a stable and sustainable revenue source through staking. Its latest report, backed by figures, reveals a massive accumulation of ETH and a confident vision. Behind this maneuver is a clear message: staking is no longer an experimental option but a central pillar of asset management for institutional players.

Bitcoin wobbles again, caught in the turmoil of a tense global economic context. As sensitive political deadlines approach, fear returns to the markets and revives a well-known pattern: the fall of the dollar often precedes a bottom for BTC. This inverse correlation, already observed in previous cycles, intrigues investors once again. While bitcoin tries to rebound, macroeconomic signals multiply and suggest a new episode of high tension for the market's leading crypto asset.

Solana is taking a new bet: making hardware a driver for crypto adoption. And, this week, the scenario took an unexpected turn. The token linked to the Seeker smartphone, $SKR, jumped more than 200% in a few days, according to CoinGecko data. The movement followed the TGE and the airdrop associated with Solana Mobile's second phone: a $500 Android, designed from the start for on-chain uses. Everyone expected volatility. But the speed and magnitude of the increase clearly awakened the market.

A careful reading of these movements reveals much more than a simple technical variation.

The crypto ETF dance does not slow down. It changes tune.

Crypto is no longer on the sidelines, it is now integrated into real economic flows.

Nasdaq has just pushed open a door that many still found "locked": that of position limits on options linked to spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs.
