Since this peak, capitalization has fallen by about 40%, ending a bullish momentum that seemed firmly established. The electoral cycle ultimately did not fulfill its promises.

After absorbing 230,000 BTC from a massive wave of sales, the largest wallets have triggered a "V" shaped accumulation that reshuffles the market cards.

Rapid rebuilding of reserves, large movements towards Binance: on-chain signals suggest a possible shift in the balance between supply and demand.

The threshold of 50% of ETH "in staking" announced by Santiment looks like a reassuring milestone, almost triumphant.

Quantum scares, bitcoin falls. But devs work, seed phrases save, and 1.7 million BTC sleep. The real question lies elsewhere.

One can see a Bitcoin pullback as a diagnosis… or as a mirror. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, clearly chooses the second option: according to him, the recent drop looks more like a collective nervous breakdown than an engine failure. The network is not damaged. It is the emotions that make the noise.
