After the Bitcoin price recovered from the flush to $63,000 over the last week, expectations are that the uptrend could continue. This has sparked predictions for the next rally and that the BTC price could move above $70,000 as a result of this. However, one analyst has thrown a wrench in this move, predicting that there could be another crash coming. This could lead to the final bottom, but suggests that much lower prices are coming first. The Ending Diagonal That Suggests Bitcoin Is Headed Downward EduwaveTrading posted an analysis on the TradingView website that paints a rather bearish picture for the Bitcoin price, at least in the short term. This prediction has to do with Bitcoin not reaching the previous swing low, and this could mean that there is another wave coming to help it hit that swing low. Related Reading: How High Will The Dogecoin Price Be If Bitcoin Reaches $200,000? As a result of the swing low not being hit, the crypto analyst suggests that Bitcoin could have dropped into an expanding ending diagonal pattern. This pattern, despite the recovery, points to another possible downward move. This move would be the start of a deeper downtrend that sends it to new yearly lows. The swing low target here lies just above $62,000 and could be a magnet for the price at this point. If the expanding ending diagonal pattern plays out, it means there is one more flush left. Once the swing low is broken, the analyst points out that Bitcoin could drop further below $59,000 before finding support again. Given this pattern, the crypto analyst suggests that investors may want to wait for this next flush to play out before doing anything. Only then would it be ‘safe’ to enter into Bitcoin, in order to avoid further losses. BTC Is Still Very Bearish Just like EduwaveTrading, another crypto analyst, Behdark, has predicted that Bitcoin will see another crash. This time around, the analyst points to the takeout on the downtrend lined the fact that the momentum has been dropping ahead, suggesting that Bitcoin is still very bearish. Related Reading: Are Institutions Killing Bitcoin And Ethereum? Here’s How They’ve Fared Since Companies Got Involved If the sellers continue to hold strong, then the crypto analyst sees Bitcoin falling toward $61,000, which coincides with the swing low that EduwaveTrading points out. Both of these analyses together say that it’s highly likely that the BTC price sees a strong move downward before establishing enough support to continue upward again.

Hyperliquid is no longer just the shiny new decentralized exchange for perpetual futures (a perp DEX). Recent data from CoinGecko suggests it even surpassed Coinbase International’s derivatives volume in 2025, putting it forward as arguably the most credible “Binance killer” candidate in the crypto derivatives market. Hyperliquid: The Rise of The Underdog Despite having launched only in 2023, Hyperliquid has climbed mountains that most DEXs can never even get close to, going from just a curious DeFi outlier to a genuine force of nature in the derivatives stack. At peak, the platform cleared around 4–5 billion dollars in daily trading volume, rivaling, and at times surpassing, mid‑tier centralized exchanges in both activity and open interest. In Q2 2025 alone, the perp‑focused venue processed roughly 653 billion dollars in trading volume, marking the first time a decentralized platform has outtraded a legacy player like Coinbase International in derivatives.

The capital which used to default to centralized futures platforms, such as Binance, is now comfortable routing size through smart contracts. CEX vs. DEX Spot and Perps Trading Volumes (Source: CoinGecko Crypto Industry Report 2025) On the derivatives front, despite centralized exchanges (CEX) still handling the bulk of the trading, the DEX perp volume climbed from roughly 0.26 trillion dollars in January to around 0.84 trillion by December 2025. In 2025, the top 10 centralized exchanges still dominated spot trading with between 0.95 and 2.21 trillion dollars in monthly volume, but once again DEXs quietly carved out a meaningful slice, ranging from 0.16 to 0.42 trillion on the spot side over the year. Top 10 Perp CEXes & DEXes Trading Volume (Source: CoinGecko Crypto Industry Report 2025) Even after the seasonal cool‑down into December, with CEX perps near 5.3 trillion and DEX perps still above 0.8 trillion, on‑chain derivatives are clearly holding on to a much larger share of the market than they had just a year before. Related Reading: Where Does Hyperliquid (HYPE) Stand Now? A Deep Dive Into Key Metrics Post-2025 Why This Matters For The “Binance Killer” Narrative The fastest growing spot of on-chain venues are perpetual futures, which happens to be one of Binance’s core profit engines. Hyperliquid isn’t just a part of a broader shift: it is capturing an enormous, even disproportionate, share of it, turning itself into the default routing choice for traders who want CEX‑grade execution without surrendering custody. So, even when Binance remains the center of gravity for crypto derivatives today, if the market anoints a true on‑chain challenger over the next cycle, the numbers suggest that challenger is far more likely to be Hyperliquid than anyone else.
