Capital rotation into artificial intelligence may have played a bigger role in Bitcoin’s latest selloff than most market watchers initially assumed. Michael Saylor, whose company Strategy recently sold a portion of its Bitcoin holdings, pushed back on criticism and pointed instead to an unprecedented flow of money into AI infrastructure as a key factor behind the drop. Related Reading: Bitmine Seeks $300M Raise To Accelerate Ethereum Accumulation Strategy Saylor Pushes Back On Blame Strategy’s Bitcoin sale briefly made Saylor a target. TV personality Jim Cramer went as far as to say Saylor had “murdered Bitcoin,” a claim Saylor denied outright. He argued that capital markets have been funding the AI buildout at historic scale — roughly $400 billion over six months — and that the pressure on Bitcoin was a rotation of capital, not a sign of structural damage to the asset. SBI Holdings Chair Yoshitaka Kitao echoed that view, pointing to the upcoming IPOs of SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI as likely draws pulling money away from crypto. Jobs Data Delivers The Blow The immediate trigger, however, was a US jobs report that caught markets off guard. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported non-farm payrolls rose to 172,000 in May 2026, more than double the Wall Street estimate of 85,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%. That reading spooked investors. BNP Paribas said the data opens the door to as many as three Federal Reserve rate hikes, a scenario that historically weighs on risk assets like Bitcoin. From $62,500, BTC fell sharply to around $59,000 following the release. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading at $59,990, down 6% in 24 hours — its lowest price since October 2024. ETF Outflows Add To The Pressure Spot Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded 14 consecutive sessions of outflows, with cumulative negative flows approaching $5 billion. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen identified those outflows as a significant factor in the broader crypto market decline. 那个说过卖肾不卖币的男人终于都卖币了 现货ETF连续13天净流出，累计$43.7亿，是历史最长连续流出纪录 BTC跌穿了月线EMA50支撑的$65K 我不是在看空。我只是觉得，该说的风险不能装没看见。… https://t.co/Sj0Y8zanys pic.twitter.com/2f0QxTKJYM — Gracy Chen @Bitget (@GracyBitget) June 4, 2026 On Friday alone, Bitcoin saw $545 million in total liquidations, according to CoinGlass data. Long positions accounted for $444 million of that figure, meaning a wave of automated selling hit the market as prices fell through key levels, compounding the downward move.

Dogecoin is trading below $0.09 at the time of writing, which places it more than 88% from its May 2021 all-time high of $0.74, and overlooked in a market that has spent most of 2026 rotating around Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP. However, crypto analyst Javon Marks sees something in DOGE’s long-term chart that most traders are missing: a repeating pattern of increasing alt season performances that, if it holds, points to a target above $20 for the meme coin. Related Reading: Bitmine Seeks $300M Raise To Accelerate Ethereum Accumulation Strategy Dogecoin’s Alt-Season Pattern Technical analysis of Dogecoin’s movement on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart shows that the king of meme coins has delivered increasingly large moves during major altcoin cycles, with the 2017 and 2021 rallies serving as the foundation for the latest forecast. The weekly chart tracks Dogecoin’s price action across multiple market cycles, beginning from the early years of DOGE trading and extending into an alt-season window projected for 2026. The 2017 alt season was characterized by Dogecoin rallying from a deep base into a move of about 100x that eventually topped around $0.018. Interestingly, the 2021 alt season produced an even larger move than the 2017 one. Marks’ chart highlights a surge of more than 300x, taking Dogecoin from the lower range of its previous cycle into as high as the $0.70 area. That rally turned Dogecoin from an internet joke into one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization with an active community of investors and developers. Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @JavonTM1 On X Dogecoin’s Case For $20 Every cycle, DOGE has reached a new higher high than the previous one: $0.0025 in 2017, $0.069 in 2018, $0.017 in 2020, and $0.74 in 2021. Marks’ proposal is that if Dogecoin’s alt-season behavior continues to outperform its past cycles, then the next rally could be larger than the last one, placing a 300x move or more on the table. His projected price zone above $20 comes from applying that type of 300x expansion to the current price action. A $20 Dogecoin price is not a normal short-term target. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.081, which means it would need a move of about 247x just to reach $20. The projected zone by Javon Marks is even higher, with the visual move pointing to a move above $24. For that to happen, Dogecoin would first need to recover the levels it has already lost, as the current price action is the weakest it has been since 2022. Before any serious discussion of double-digit Dogecoin can become reality, the meme coin would need to reclaim $0.10, then push through the larger resistance zones around $0.20, $0.30, and eventually break above the December 2024 rejection zone of $0.49 before moving towards the old all-time high of $0.7316. Related Reading: XRP Monthly RSI Drops To All-Time Low As Market Watches For Confirmation The entire altcoin market would also need to enter a very strong rally phase, as Marks’ call is tied to alt season. That means the scenario depends entirely on capital rotating out of Bitcoin. Interestingly, a $20 Dogecoin would imply a market cap somewhere around $3 trillion, given a circulating supply of approximately 154.5 billion DOGE tokens as of June 2026.
