Recent Buyers Are Deeply Underwater With No Meaningful Bounce Yet

Glassnode’s Short-Term Holder MVRV, which tracks how much recent buyers are up or down on average, printed 0.81 at its low before recovering slightly to 0.83. 

The $78,000 to $82,000 accumulation cluster built during May is now broadly in loss. Meanwhile, only 3.3% of short-term holder supply is currently in profit against a four-year average of 55%, meaning more than 95% of recent buyers are underwater.

The selling pressure is building but has not hit the extreme that historically marks a true bottom. 

The loss realization indicator sits at -1.86, just one small step away from the -2 level that in past cycles has signaled…

Institutional De-Risking

Speaking on Schwab Network’s Crypto Corner, Adam Lynch, director of equity research at the Schwab Center for Financial Research said Bitcoin ETFs have experienced approximately $1.7 billion in outflows over the past week and more than $5.4 billion over the last month.

Crypto investment products overall have recorded roughly $4.5 billion in outflows during the past three weeks.

The recent selling marks a sharp reversal from early May, when Bitcoin ETFs enjoyed a 10- to 12-day inflow streak.

“We think this is a bit of institutional de-risking,” Lynch commented.

He pointed to macroeconomic concerns including inflation, interest rates and geopolitical tensions…

The Tom DeMark Sequential indicator that predicted Dogecoin’s (CRYPTO: DOGE) 31% crash from $0.113 to $0.078 in May is now flashing a buy signal as DOGE bounced 3% on Thursday.

The Same Indicator That Called The Top Is Now Calling A Bottom

Analyst Ali Charts flagged the signal on X, noting the May 7 sell signal preceded the 31% correction almost exactly. 

The same setup now points the other direction. Supporting the case, the daily SAR flipped bullish at $0.078, sitting below price and holding for two consecutive green days, the most constructive price action since April. 

On Tuesday, Ali Charts also flagged whale accumulation of over 200 million DOGE, adding further weight to the setup.

Kevin O’Leary says Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) recent weakness has less to do with fading investor interest and more to do with regulatory uncertainty.

BTC Going “Nowhere” Until CLARITY Act

Appearing on Fox Business on June 10, the O’Leary Ventures chairman said Bitcoin’s decline from its all-time high near $120,000 to around $60,000 has disappointed many investors who expected ETFs and institutional adoption to drive prices higher.

“Bitcoin’s going nowhere until the CLARITY Act becomes law,” O’Leary said.

He added that sovereign wealth funds and institutions are not yet touching Bitcoin as it is not yet law. O’Leary predicts 1% to 3% allocation of sovereign wealth to… Read more on Benzinga

Capital Rotation Behind Price Downfall

Liu argued on CNBC on Wednesday that over Bitcoin’s 17-year history, it has risen from mere cents to tens of thousands of dollars, reaching as high as $120,000 during the latest cycle.

“Over the long term, it is doing fine,” Liu said.

According to Liu, the primary reason behind disappointing price action is a shift in capital toward other speculative growth opportunities.

She pointed to the digital asset treasury boom that fueled crypto markets between June and September 2025 as a major source of liquidity.

Following such a strong rally, some rotation was inevitable. “There will be a bit of relaxation after that,” Liu said.

She also cited broader…
