The Bitcoin price recovery back in May 2026 triggered a renewed wave of bullish optimism. But despite the rising prices, there are some who did not give in to the bullish wave, picking a more conservative stance on the cryptocurrency. With the new month, those who refused to flip bullish look to have come out on top as the Bitcoin price has reversed. However, some analysts are predicting that this might only be the start of the decline. Bitcoin Price Could Be Getting Ready To Fall To New Cycle Lows According to crypto analyst Xanrox, the Bitcoin price crash was expected, given that the cryptocurrency has entered one of the most brutal bear markets in recent history. One very bearish development is the fact that the Bitcoin price has now fallen below two major channels. Related Reading: The Last Time Ethereum Did This Against Bitcoin, It Exploded Above $4,000 These channels include a descending channel, which was broken with the fall below $71,000. Then, the other broken channel is an ascending channel, broken at almost the same time as the descending channel. The result of these two channels being broken, the analyst explains, is a double breakdown. The thing about double breakdowns is that they are extremely bearish and often suggest that the crash is just starting. With the Bitcoin crash already in motion, the crypto analyst expects that the price will continue to go lower. Despite there being significant support around the $60,000 level, which has served as the psychological support this cycle, the analyst does not believe this level will hold. Instead, they suggest holding off buying as the price is expected to drop to $48,000, with a strong possibility of a crash to the $40,000-$30,000 levels. What Investors Should Watch Out For Presently, there is a major outflow happening in the crypto market, and Bitcoin, being the leading cryptocurrency, has taken the highest hit. The bear market has also pushed a significant number of users out as they move toward cash in a market that seems to offer nothing but losses. Related Reading: Pundit Shares Why Most People Will Miss The XRP Run Xanrox also suggests that the banks are now controlling the Bitcoin price. According to the post, the banks could push the price down 20% in a single day once they start selling on futures. This would put major stress on investors as retail traders are liquidated en masse. In this case, losses were expected to be amplified as the market made its final downward move. Nevertheless, there is the possibility that bulls will put up a major fight at $60,000, since it is the cycle’s swing low. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Pump.fun has launched a new feature that allows users to pay “anyone” to do “anything”, which has triggered a wave of concern across the crypto community, with critics warning it could revive the same dangerous behavior that fueled the platform’s 2024 livestream scandal. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price In ’Vulnerable Position’ As 2022 Playbook Repeats – Is $54,000 Next? Pump.Fun Launches Bounty Feature For ‘ANY’ Task On Thursday, Solana’s memecoin launchpad, Pump.fun, introduced a new feature that allows users to create and complete bounties “for ANY task and leverage the power of humans & money across the globe.” Under the premise of “Pay ANYONE to do ANYTHING,” Pump.fun GO is set to combine humans and money, which they deemed “the most powerful tools on Earth” in the X announcement. “We’re combining both of them with GO: an all encompassing bounty platform where ANYONE can create or complete bounties for ANY task for UNLIMITED rewards,” the platform stated. According to the post, users must complete a bounty’s deliverables and submit proof within the allotted time. Pump.fun will review all submissions and hold funds in escrow until a winner is selected or the bounty expires. Just hours after the announcement, the platform saw hundreds of bounties and submissions. For instance, one user offered a bounty of approximately $50,000 for someone to skydive into a World Cup match dressed as a MEMECOIN mascot. Nonetheless, it is no longer available, with the site stating that it may have “been closed, removed by a moderator, or never published.” Another listing offered 325 SOL, roughly $23,186, for “the first person to conduct and film a real, on camera interview with either a family member of the individual responsible for Henry Nowak’s death, or the main police officer involved in the incident.” The bounty, which already has five submissions, noted that “The more viral the interview the better!” Other four-figure bounties also include hosting a “best butt contest IRL,” quitting your job on camera, getting a memecoin’s name tattooed on the forehead or other body parts, and setting a car on fire dressed as a memecoin’s mascot. IRL Black Mirror Episode? While some users expressed excitement about the latest feature, many criticized Pump.fun, raising concerns that it could be abused the same way the Livestream feature was when it first launched. In 2024, several users livestreamed harmful and violent content using the platform, creating memecoins with controversial prompts to become viral and pump their tokens. At the time, creators threatened to harm themselves, people nearby, or animals if their memecoins didn’t reach a specific market capitalization. One user threatened to shoot a goldfish, while another user livestreamed himself shooting out his window whenever his memecoin went up. Following heavy backlash, Pump.fun shut down the feature and eventually relaunched in 2025 with new moderation. Now, X users have called the bounty feature a “Black Mirror episode dropping in real time,” while others have compared it to the 2016 movie Nerve. “Pump fun GO sounds fun until people realize money can incentivize the worst parts of human behavior,” one community member stated, noting that bounty platforms should not become a “marketplace for harassment, violence, stalking, humiliation, or dangerous acts.” Related Reading: Zcash Fixes Critical Orchard Vulnerability As ZEC Holds $600 Support “Nobody wants to wake up and see people livestreaming harm just because a reward pool exists. Innovation without guardrails becomes a liability. Regulation and active monitoring are not optional here,” he concluded. At the time of writing, there are 230 bounties live on Pump.fun GO, with 828 submissions and an unclaimed pool of $111,000. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The XRP monthly relative strength index has fallen to 41.64, the lowest reading the indicator has ever recorded for the token — lower even than the 43.75 it hit in March 2020, when XRP bottomed out at $0.11 during one of crypto’s worst bear markets. Related Reading: Bitmine Seeks $300M Raise To Accelerate Ethereum Accumulation Strategy A Signal With A Caveat The current reading edges out that 2020 low, but it is not yet final. June is still open, and data shows that if XRP recovers to above $1.30 before the month ends, the RSI could close well above its current level, which would undercut the significance of the signal entirely. XRP market commentator Austin, who goes by that name in the XRP community, was the first to flag the RSI drop publicly. His initial chart showed the reading had fallen to 42.64 — itself a new all-time low at the time — as XRP slid to $1.18. Prices dropped further since then, pulling the RSI down to 41.62 at last check. The token is currently trading around $1.11. That puts it roughly 61% below its October 2025 high of $2.84, a decline that has stretched across several months without a meaningful recovery. XRP is the most oversold on the monthly time frame that it has EVER been. pic.twitter.com/xlKEQkK7tc — Austin (@Austin_XRPL) June 4, 2026 What History Suggests The 2020 episode offers a point of comparison, though it is only one. That year’s RSI bottom aligned with what turned out to be the price floor for XRP in that cycle. From that low, the token posted a string of higher lows before reaching $1.96 in April 2021. A later surge in November 2024 pushed it as high as $3.40, representing a gain of roughly 580% from the October lows of that year. The broader crypto market has also been under pressure this week. Bitcoin dropped toward the $63,000 mark after Strategy, the firm associated with Michael Saylor, confirmed it sold 32 BTC from its stash of more than 800,000 BTC. Total crypto market cap shed $330 billion in the span of a week. XRP’s Own Decline In Focus XRP’s market cap dropped from $82.5 billion at the start of this week to around $69 billion at the time of writing, a fall of roughly 15%. Reports note that the current price of $1.10 revisits levels last seen in early February. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Pressure As Investors Rotate Capital Into AI Buildout: Saylor RSI measures the speed and size of recent price changes, and a reading below 30 is traditionally considered oversold territory. XRP’s monthly reading at 41.64 sits above that threshold, though it represents a historically low level for the token specifically. Whether the June candle closes anywhere near its current RSI reading will determine whether the signal holds. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
