Bitcoin’s foray above $70,000, while encouraging, has not really done much to quell the expectations that this is only the start of the bear market. A number of analysts continue to warn investors that this might only be a temporary relief, with the real crash on the way. One of these analysts is HAMED_AZ, who took to the TradingView website to share why the Bitcoin price is still very bearish and why he expects a further crash before the cryptocurrency hits a bottom. Bitcoin Price Still Very Bearish According to HAMED, the Bitcoin price is still very bearish, despite the recent recovery, and this is due to the fact that it continues to trade inside a descending channel. This descending channel appeared on the daily timeframe, and since the price broke below the support at $79,000, it has completely eroded the bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Why The XRP Price Might Crash To $0.87 Before The Bear Market Ends Even now, the Bitcoin price has yet to retest the resistance that has now formed after this support level turned into resistance, showing weakness on the part of the bulls. Another important point that that the analyst makes is that this same zone is closely aligned with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. All of these put together make it an important level to determine the next wave of action. If the cryptocurrency’s price continues to correct below the $79,000-$82,000 level, then it is possible that the price could experience another rejection that could send it crashing lower. This is because this level is an area that bears control. What To Expect In the case of a crash, then the crypto analyst suggests that there could be another 40% price crash. This would mean that the price would eventually fall below $50,000. The bottom for this move is placed somewhere around $47,000, which would mean that the Bitcoin price would be below 60% from all-time high levels.

This would happen if the Bitcoin price were to rally and break above $82,000. In this case, it would push to the upper boundary of the descending channel, leading to a potential trend reversal.

Bitcoin (BTC) has briefly surpassed the critical resistance level of $74,000, generating renewed optimism among investors as key market indicators suggest the potential for a bottom and further recovery for the leading cryptocurrency. A Potential Surge To $108,000 Market analyst Ali Martinez drew attention to a significant development in a social media post on Monday, noting that Bitcoin’s funding rates have turned negative. This particular signal has historically foreshadowed substantial relief rallies over the past three years. Martinez added that current market sentiment reflects a state of “peak fear,” which often indicates that the local bottom is close. Historical patterns reveal a consistent trajectory: when the majority are paying to short Bitcoin, it typically signifies a market rebound. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Will ‘Pump Hard’ Soon, Here’s Why The analyst has highlighted several past instances where this pattern played out effectively. For example, in December 2022, Bitcoin climbed from $17,800 to $24,800, a gain of 39%. Similarly, from March 2023, the cryptocurrency surged from $20,000 to $30,700, marking a 53% increase in price. The trend continued with notable jumps in August 2023 and beyond. Considering this pattern persists for the cryptocurrency, where Bitcoin has historically demonstrated an average gain of 46%, there is a possibility that the digital asset could rally back to approximately $108,000 for the first time since November of last year. Bitcoin Whales Return In addition to funding rates, blockchain analysis firm CryptoQuant has reported further bullish signs for Bitcoin. Recent analysis by the firm indicates that the ratio of BTC whales on exchanges has reached its highest point in six years. An increase in this whale ratio often signifies a short-term bottom, while peaks in the ratio typically mark the commencement of an upward trend. Presently, the ratio of retail investors is at a six-year low, suggesting that larger players in the market are accumulating aggressively. On-chain indicators support the notion that Bitcoin may be poised for an upward movement, with the exchange whale ratio reinforcing the idea that the current price levels represent a bottom.

Nine out of ten CME gaps have been successfully closed since August 2025, sparking speculation that the cryptocurrency may experience an additional 13% increase should it promptly fill the gap at $84,000 in the short term. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading slightly above the $74,100 mark, with gains of nearly 4% and 8% in the 24-hour and seven-day time frames, respectively.

Despite still having a market cap in the billions, Avalanche (AVAX) has struggled significantly over the last few years. The coin had seen its shine back in the DeFi summer of 2021-2022, but since then, it has essentially been downhill from there, save for a few recoveries over the years. Now, though, as the market enters what seems to be another accumulation trend, coins like AVAX are beginning to swim back to the fore, raising the question of whether there is still hope for them. Why AVAX Could Crash Further Crypto analyst RLinda shed more light on the current AVAX price movements and the bearish pressure that has engulfed it. Even while there has been an attempt on the altcoin’s part to actually recover, it has still fallen back to the bears, and declines continue to be the order of the day. Related Reading: Ethereum Foundation Sells ETH To BitMine As Whale Accumulation Intensifies The most recent recovery effort occurred last week as the digital asset pushed above $10 again. However, with the AVAX price falling back down, it showed that the altcoin was trapped within a broader bearish trend. The sell-off also showed that sentiment was still leaning well toward the negative, and investors are taking any opportunity to offload and get out of the coin. After testing resistance at $10, it has now marked a significant level for bulls to beat if there is to be a continuation rally. As the crypto analyst explained, there are currently mixed signals with the AVAX price, given the current resistance and support levels. For now, the first major resistance has lain around $9.75, a level where a rejection has been the order of the day in the past. Once broken, though, it doesn’t mean that the cryptocurrency is out of the woods. For one, there are still the $9.820 and $10.28 resistance levels, both of which will have to be surmounted or AVAX risk further crash. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash Far From Over? Analyst Shares How Painful Bear Markets Can Get If the bulls are rejected at these resistance zones and a local short squeeze is followed by the AVAX price trending below $9.75, then the analyst predicts that it would lead to further weakness. In this case, triggering a drop to the $8.7-$9.0 level. In the event of a drop, then the first support level is placed at $9.48. Then it is followed by the budding support at $9.06, before moving toward $8.71, where the last stand is expected to be made by the bulls. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Circle, the firm behind the widely-used stablecoin USDC, has seen its stock, trading under the ticker CRCL, rise above $123 for the first time since October of last year. This surge was accompanied by a new upgrade from Clear Street, which upgraded Circle’s stock from a “Hold” to a “Buy” and raised its price target from $92 to $136 in a research note released on Monday. USDC Adoption Soars Amid Increased Demand Since the beginning of February, adoption of Circle’s USDC stablecoin has increased significantly, indicating a growing interest from financial institutions and consumers in stablecoins. This uptick contributed to a 7.5% jump in Circle’s stock price on Monday, currently trading at around $123 at the time of writing. Year-to-date, Circle shares have climbed 46%, reflecting a positive trend in the company’s performance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Hits $74K As Geopolitical Tensions Spike, Is BTC Poised For a Fresh Leg Down? Several factors appear to be fueling this rally. According to a recent report from Barron’s, the ongoing conflict in Iran has disrupted banking and exchanges in the Middle East, which may have contributed to the increasing use of USDC for remittances and cross-border transactions. Clear Street analyst Owen Lau noted that during this volatile period, the market capitalization of USDC continued to rise, suggesting that the demand was driven primarily by its practical utility rather than speculative investment. The report also highlights a growing trend where financial institutions are tokenizing funds—digitizing these assets to trade on blockchain networks. Although USDC is not the sole settlement currency for such platforms, its regulatory compliance and wide compatibility make it an attractive option. Additionally, USDC is gaining traction in prediction markets, particularly with Polymarket’s anticipated expansion into the US, which could further boost demand as numerous trades in these markets are settled in USDC. Regulatory Clarity Seen As Key Driver For Circle Another significant development that Circle investors are optimistic about is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating transactions. As AI agents increasingly perform tasks like booking travel and executing contracts independently, the need for digital wallets capable of instant settlement will grow. Circle’s Arc blockchain protocol is being designed to serve as an infrastructure to support these types of automated payments, further enhancing its utility in the financial ecosystem. Lau emphasized a critical distinction that investors often overlook: the performance of speculative crypto assets is not necessarily indicative of the adoption trajectory for payment stablecoins. “A central misperception among investors is conflating the fortunes of speculative crypto assets with the adoption trajectory of payment stablecoins,” he stated. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Will ‘Pump Hard’ Soon, Here’s Why The report asserts that regulatory clarity has the potential to drive even more institutional investment into digital assets. Currently, there is a debate within the banking sector and the crypto industry concerning whether the CLARITY Act should permit stablecoin holders to earn yields on their deposits. With calls from President Trump for various stakeholders to reach a compromise, Clear Street anticipates that the CLARITY Act may pass before the summer ends, which could further contribute to the stock’s positive performance along with broader crypto prices. “Our conversations with institutional allocators consistently highlight regulatory uncertainty as the primary barrier to increasing crypto exposure,” Lau concluded.
