Alert on the crypto market! Bitcoin has just plunged below $70,000, triggering the brutal liquidation of $455 million in long positions. Traders are trapped. Is this the start of a deeper correction? Full analysis.
Strategy's first bitcoin sale in years immediately triggered investor fears. In a market already weakened by the return of fear, the sale of 32 BTC by Michael Saylor's company fueled speculation of a possible reversal. However, the data observed by CryptoQuant invite a radically different interpretation of this closely watched event.
For the first time since 2022, Strategy reduced its bitcoin holdings. Michael Saylor's company sold 32 BTC to finance certain obligations related to its preferred shares. Although the amount remains marginal compared to its bitcoin exposure, this operation breaks with a doctrine that had long shaped the group's image with investors.
The sale of a 1.26 billion dollar IBIT block has revived questions around flows related to spot ETFs. According to NYDIG's analysis, the transaction on BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust could come from a large investor wishing to exit their exposure quickly. The block, traded over the counter on May 26, is mainly intriguing because of its amount, discount, and the absence of clear signals on futures contracts.
A new post from Michael Saylor on X was enough to revive speculation about an upcoming BTC purchase by Strategy. While the company already largely dominates the ranking of publicly traded companies most exposed to bitcoin, every statement from its executive chairman is now scrutinized as a potential market signal. Once again, investors and analysts are trying to decipher his intentions.
On-chain volumes of altcoins have been increasing for several weeks, according to CryptoQuant data, even during sequences where prices struggle to hold their recent levels.

Long presented as an almost achieved target, the $100,000 threshold is gradually moving away for bitcoin.

While Bitcoin ETFs have just undergone ten consecutive sessions of capital outflows, another asset quietly attracts the attention of institutional investors. XRP ETFs recorded nearly $12 million in net inflows during the last session. This flow divergence reveals a behavioral change in the crypto ETF market and could reveal new preferences among large investors.
The $70,000 threshold is once again the focus of all attention in the bitcoin market. As BTC approaches this level, buyers are strengthening their positions with nearly $500 million in orders placed below the current price. This liquidity concentration occurs in a context where several billion dollars in leveraged positions could be tested during the next support test.
The US Treasury confirmed on Friday the seizure of about one billion dollars in cryptos linked to Iranian entities, some holders still unaware today that their wallets are empty.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have just recorded their ninth consecutive session of net outflows, with 228 million dollars withdrawn in a single day. This unusual series revives questions about the strength of institutional demand, as bitcoin tries to maintain its momentum. Behind these successive withdrawals, investors are trying to determine whether this is a simple wait-and-see phase or the first sign of a deeper market fatigue.

Bitcoin has fallen below 73,000 dollars, causing nearly one billion dollars in liquidations in the crypto market within twenty-four hours.

This change explains the recent interest around TeraWulf, Hut 8, IREN, or Riot Platforms, in a context where Wall Street remains driven by AI and semiconductors.
Intentionally destroying more than 8 million dollars in bitcoin remains a very rare act, even in a market accustomed to excesses. However, an unknown user has just sent 107 BTC to one of the most famous and irrecoverable addresses in the Bitcoin network. Behind this mysterious operation, on-chain analysts and historical figures in the ecosystem are now trying to understand whether it is a simple symbolic burn, an ideological message, or an experiment related to future quantum threats that already worry some industry experts.
BlackRock sold 1.01 billion dollars worth of bitcoin via IBIT in five sessions, but this move does not necessarily mean that the American giant is turning its back on BTC. It mainly reveals a wave of buybacks by investors in its spot ETF, at a time when former remarks by Larry Fink on cryptos are resurfacing and clouding the market reading.
In DeFi, access to credit often depends on tokenized assets or custodial arrangements. Babylon Labs wants to change this logic with a proposal submitted to Aave's governance. The project aims to allow Bitcoin holders to borrow on the V4 version without a bridge, without a classic wrapper, and without a centralized custodian. This initiative is still progressing in stages, with a first community sentiment vote.
Flows change direction in the crypto market. This week, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded significant capital outflows, while funds related to XRP, Solana, and HYPE attracted new investments.

American spot Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing their largest series of outflows since the beginning of the year. In six sessions, more than $1.55 billion have left these funds, greatly reducing their net flows for 2026.
