Crypto analyst Leshka has explained why it is unlikely that the Bitcoin price has bottomed even as it continues to attempt a recovery above $70,000. His analysis also aligns with predictions from analysts such as Doctor Profit, who predict that BTC could still drop to $40,000. Analyst Explains Why Bitcoin Price Hasn’t Bottomed In an X post, Leshka noted that the Bitcoin price has never bottomed after a drawdown of just 47%. He further remarked that every bear market in history saw at least 78% drawdown from the top. BTC notably saw drawdowns of around 87%; 84%; and 73% in 2013, 2017, and 2021, respectively.

His accompanying chart showed that BTC could still drop to around $50,000 before it finds a macro bottom in this market cycle. Leshka noted that the leading crypto continues to retest the $72,000 resistance and has failed to hold above it on every attempt. Based on this, he predicted that a drop to $55,000 is next. Crypto analyst Doctor Profit also recently warned that the Bitcoin price hasn’t found a macro bottom, though he predicted that BTC could form a local bottom between $57,000 and $60,000. In the long term, he still expects Bitcoin to drop below $50,000 and into the low $40,000, which he believes will mark the macro bottom. Doctor Profit stated that the leading crypto could find a bottom between September and October later this year. In the meantime, he predicts that the Bitcoin price could see a relief bounce or continue trading sideways before recording another leg to the downside. BTC Is In The ‘Relief Rally’ Phase In an X post, crypto analyst Julio Moreno noted that the Bitcoin Bull Score Index has reached 30, its highest level since late October. The index phase has switched from extra bearish to bearish while bull flags have turned on for exchange flows, stablecoin liquidity growth, and price momentum. However, he warned that the Bitcoin price is still in a bear market and is simply seeing a relief rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin Candlestick Structure That Led To Crash To Below $20,000 Last Cycle Just Appeared Again Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen noted that in bear markets, the Bitcoin price will often spend more time going up than going down. However, when it goes down, it drops very quickly, then sets a low, then trends back up for a few weeks to months before dropping again. “You can see the change in market structure from bull to bear,” he added. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $69,300, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Hyperliquid oil-linked perps cleared over $1 billion as crude spikes toward $100 dollars amid Middle East turmoil. Hyperliquid: “The Place To Be” As we reported this past Monday, Hyperliquid continues to cement its reputation as “the room where it happens” for a new class of traders that are turning into Hyperliquid’s tokenized oil perpetuals, as well to metals and other “essential assets”. In a post on the social network X this Thursday morning, Hyperliquid’s official account announced that the trading of Real World Assets (RWA) on the platform continues to break records, as it’s now “surpassing $1.3B in open interest and $1.4B in weekend volume”. As stated on Monday, this times of extreme geopolitical chaos seem to finally have outgrown TradFi, as traders search for alternatives to act as fast as their unrest demands: Hyperliquid is always available, even while legacy futures markets close for the weekend. Over the past 2 weeks, RWA trading on Hyperliquid has repeatedly broken records, surpassing $1.3B in open interest and $1.4B in weekend volume. When traditional markets are closed, Hyperliquid is the premier venue for 24/7 price discovery on oil, metals, indices, and other… — Hyperliquid (@HyperliquidX) March 12, 2026 The structural advantages of a DEX like Hyperliquid are unmatchable when rapidly changing circumstances prompt equally volatile feelings: 24/7 access, permissionless HIP‑3 listings, and the ability to size into oil, gold, and equity index perps without going through a broker. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Holds Near $70K As Markets Brace For Key Event The Rise Of HYPE Hyperliquid’s native token, $HYPE, has been rallying alongside the oil: HYPE saw a surge of over 8% over the past 24 hours, reaching $37 dollars, a big improvement from previously sinking nearly below 50% of its past September high. This surge aligns with BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predictions. On March 9, Hayes shared an essay on his Substack arguing why he believes that $HYPE is going to $150 by August 2026. The piece, titled “$HYPE Man”, frames Hyperliquid as the standout exchange‑token play for a volatile 2026 because it monetizes trading activity regardless of market direction. Hyperliquid is one of the largest fee‑generating protocols in crypto, and Hayes argues that roughly most of those fees are routed back to HYPE through buybacks and burns, turning the token into a direct bet on on-chain derivatives revenue. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Holds Near $70K As Markets Brace For Key Event Hayes believes that, assuming revenue climbs back toward peak levels and the market is willing to rerate Hyperliquid to a higher earnings multiple that still sits below some listed TradFi exchanges, $HYPE could go around the $150 by mid‑2026. In his view, growth in macro‑linked products like oil and gold, listed through HIP‑3, are central to this upside, since more war‑driven oil flow on Hyperliquid means more protocol fees and a stronger buyback engine for HYPE. My essay on why $HYPE is going to $150 by August 2026. https://t.co/M1la2HpdzT — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) March 9, 2026 The Iran war, tanker incidents, and supply fears are reviving the classic “oil shock” playbook just as DeFi venues like Hyperliquid make commodity risk tradable via tokens. If conflict and energy shocks persist, tokenised oil on Hyperliquid could increasingly shape sentiment and pricing across both DeFi and TradFi. HYPE'S price trends to the upside on the daily chart.
