According to Yu Jin, a whale borrowed approximately 44.42 million USDT through two addresses on Aave to leverage buy 25,851 ETH, with an entry price of about $1,718 per coin. One of the addresses has a position health of 1.23, corresponding to a liquidation price of about $1,355.

Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated that he has repurchased all previously sold Ethereum positions at an average price of $1,645, after clearing positions in the range of $2,200 to $2,400. Although the repurchase operation has been completed, he believes that the overall market is still in a downtrend, but Bitcoin has received support twice around $61,000 and has not effectively broken down, indicating a short-term technical rebound demand.Based on this judgment, Jiang Zhuoer expects Bitcoin to experience a rebound in the next 1 to 3 days and plans to sell the recently repurchased Ethereum positions again during the rebound process.

Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that after Strategy disclosed the sale of 32 BTC on June 1, it triggered a new round of volatility in the BTC market. He pointed out that the scale of the sale itself is not important, as Strategy still holds approximately 840,000 BTC on its balance sheet, valued at about $5.5 billion. However, as one of the largest digital asset treasury managers in the world, its strategic shift puts pressure on market sentiment.Pandl believes that more importantly, the recent volatility affects the price of Strategy's variable rate preferred stock tool STRC. STRC is designed to maintain a price of about $100 per share, with a current dividend yield of 11.5%. If the stock price falls below $100, it means investors are demanding a higher return. Strategy can increase dividends, but this will increase future cash flow obligations and may lead to more BTC sales, further suppressing BTC prices. Strategy's leveraged business model is under pressure, increasing volatility across the entire BTC market.At the current levels of STRC and MSTR stock prices, Grayscale believes that Strategy's ability to continue accumulating more BTC is limited. However, Grayscale believes that in the long term, reducing the BTC on the leveraged digital asset treasury balance sheet and allowing more BTC to be distributed across diversified corporate balance sheets will benefit the health of the Bitcoin ecosystem. But before a sustainable bottom for BTC prices is formed, other buyers need to enter the market. Grayscale expects BTC prices to recover in the coming months, but in the short term, BTC's performance may lag behind other segments of the crypto market that directly benefit from regulatory clarity.

According to The Block, Geoffrey Kendrick, the head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that "the bottom has almost appeared" for Bitcoin after a recent sharp decline, with the current range of about $63,000 being a "buying range." He pointed out that since February, the overall holdings of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF have remained stable, with no concentrated redemptions that would raise concerns, indicating that funds are more "structurally stable."Kendrick expects that after the recent selling pressure triggered by Strategy's sale of 32 BTC, there may be a buyback at a scale of 10 times or even 100 times, following historical practices, which could signal the confirmation of a temporary low. He also cautioned that there is still a downside risk of Bitcoin falling below $60,000, but believes that buying in batches is preferable to trying to time the bottom precisely. The bank maintains its year-end targets of $100,000 for Bitcoin and $4,000 for Ethereum.

Glassnode data shows that as Bitcoin briefly fell to $61,300, the number of BTC in an unrealized loss state rose to approximately 10.5 million, surpassing the 9.8 million in a profit state for the first time, accounting for over half of the total circulating supply. This is the first occurrence in this cycle where the number of loss chips exceeds the number of profit chips. Historical data indicates that this metric has only appeared during deep bear market phases and has often corresponded with significant market bottoms. Similar situations occurred during the bear markets of 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2022, although the duration varied from one month to a year.Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price touched approximately $61,300, which is the 200-week moving average, a level that has consistently formed key long-term support during past bear markets. Analysts believe that if BTC falls below the $60,000 threshold, the next important support level will be around the realized price of approximately $54,000, and Bitcoin has historically fallen below the realized price during major bear markets.

Ki Young Ju, the founder of CryptoQuant, posted on social media that the price of Bitcoin is the same now as it was two years ago, but one thing has changed. The "6 months to 2 years" holding group that entered during this cycle currently accounts for 53% of the realized market cap, while two years ago this proportion was only 15%. In the previous cycle, when this proportion reached 68%, Bitcoin bottomed out. Currently, short-term holders are gradually evolving into long-term holders.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the whale known for "buying the dip during market crashes," 7 Siblings, has taken action again. About 1 hour ago, it borrowed 10 million USDT from the Spark protocol and then purchased 5,589 ETH at an average price of approximately $1,789, with a total value of about 10 million dollars.

According to Cointelegraph, the transitional period for the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) will end on July 1, 2026.The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) stated that at that time, crypto asset service providers that have not obtained MiCA authorization, even if their applications are still under review, will not be allowed to continue providing services to EU customers and should initiate business winding down and customer migration arrangements.

Gold supporter and long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff recently stated that he believes there is excessive optimism in the current Bitcoin market, and that it is still a long way from truly bottoming out. Schiff predicts that if Bitcoin falls below the $50,000 mark, the price could quickly drop further to below $20,000, shaking the confidence of long-term holders (HODLers) and triggering a larger-scale sell-off.Schiff also mentioned that the market needs to pay attention to whether a decline in Bitcoin will become a precursor to a broader adjustment in risk assets. If a Bitcoin crash is limited to the crypto market, it may be due to factors within the industry itself; however, if it simultaneously affects stocks and other risk assets, it could indicate that deeper macro risks are accumulating.He further pointed out that in such a scenario, investors may turn back to gold, cash, and other traditional safe-haven assets, seeking higher security and certainty.

Famous trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who successfully predicted the Bitcoin crash in 2018, stated yesterday that Bitcoin is currently forming an expanding triangle pattern, which is relatively common and usually reliable in Bitcoin's history, with a target based on projecting the height of the pattern from the breakout point.According to the measurement rules for the expanding triangle: Target = height of the pattern projected downward from the breakout point. The attached diagram shows a widening triangle (with the upper and lower bounds gradually diverging). The breakout point is roughly around $74,000 (marked as 74,395 in the diagram), and after projecting the height of the pattern (from the highest point to the lowest point of the widest part of the triangle), the arrow points to the area around $56,000.

According to CoinDesk, Tom Lee, Head of Research at Fundstrat and Chairman of Bitmine, stated at the Proof of Talk conference in Paris that he expects Ethereum to eventually reach $250,000, with artificial intelligence and tokenization driving significant changes in financial infrastructure. Lee pointed out that with the arrival of the machine-to-machine economy, Ethereum will transition from a speculative digital asset to a major global currency for payment automation and computational processing power.Bitmine recently acquired 111,942 ETH, increasing its holdings to nearly 5.4 million ETH, accounting for about 4.47% of the circulating supply. Lee stated that Bitmine is now eligible for inclusion in the Russell 1000 index, with its staking model outperforming holding spot ETH. He believes that enterprise validators will replace the shrinking Ethereum Foundation as key managers of the network, with corporate entities currently jointly controlling 7% of Ethereum's circulating supply.Lee mentioned that if Ethereum achieves the $250,000 target, Bitmine's stock price will reach $5,000. He also noted that the current bearish sentiment indicates the market bottom for Bitcoin and Ethereum, suggesting that selling during bearish times is akin to selling at the bottom.

Tom Lee stated that the recent market anxiety, including the slight sale of Bitcoin by Strategy, is typical bottoming behavior rather than a deep-seated crisis. Michael Saylor sold 32 Bitcoins at an average price of $77,135, raising approximately $2.5 million to pay preferred stock dividends. This sale accounted for only 0.004% of the company's over 843,700 Bitcoin holdings. Furthermore, regarding the outflow of $3.4 billion from the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF for 11 consecutive days, Tom Lee believes that capital outflow is a classic lagging indicator of market cycle reset. Bitmine's macro strategy has not changed, and its plan to purchase 111,942 Ethereum for approximately $237 million is still underway, with its Ethereum holdings currently reaching nearly 5.4 million.

According to The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced that its "Project Agorá" tokenization prototype has successfully verified the feasibility of atomic settlement for cross-border wholesale transactions. The prototype employs a layered architecture, utilizing tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits to achieve "all or nothing" transaction chain execution across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, while allowing central banks to retain operational autonomy.Legal analysis shows that finality of settlement can be achieved in all seven participating jurisdictions, and privacy protection can also be ensured within a compliant framework. The project is jointly initiated by the BIS and the International Financial Association, with participation from seven central banks including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Mexico, and the Swiss National Bank, as well as over 40 private financial institutions. In the next phase, the Bank of Canada will officially join as the eighth central bank member, and the project will advance to the real value testing stage, further expanding private sector participation.

Well-known trader Killa (@KillaXBT) posted that, from the perspective of the 180-day actual price, the time investors have been in a loss state during this adjustment may not be sufficient.Historical experience shows that bear markets are usually accompanied by prolonged periods of continuous losses, with many investors remaining in unrealized losses for a long time. If historical patterns repeat, the current adjustment cycle may require more time to digest, and the market may still need to go through a longer bottoming process.
