Whale wallets ramp up Bitcoin buying as price hovers around $71K
Whale wallets ramp up Bitcoin buying as price hovers around $71K, according to on-chain data published by Santiment.
Wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 $BTC reversed course from active selling to net accumulation roughly two weeks ago.
The reversal comes as Bitcoin holds gains against a weakening S&P 500. Over the past five weeks, the S&P 500 fell approximately 2.2%, while Bitcoin gained 2.4%.
Gold rose 3.7% over the same period. Santiment analysts attribute the divergence to Bitcoin’s lack of ties to any single country’s econ

This is the most unexpected outcome.
Everyone is expecting down next, new lows, and the 4 year cycle to play out.
But it is my view that this is what is coming next.
For all the reasons I have covered over the last months, this is what I believe is next.
That this is a very different cycle, because of the overall economic/business/liquidity cycle being different.
I have provided unending pieces of data that backs this up, and this is the hill I will die on.
If/when we reclaim $74k, it will not just be a small bear market rally.
It will be a reclaim of the HTF structure, which will confirm the

✨According to Glassnode, the most trusted on-chain analysis platform in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's "10+ Year HODL Wave" has reached 17,261%, approaching a new all-time high (ATH).
🤔 So what exactly is this "10-Year HODL Wave"?
HODL Waves are a blockchain metric that shows the age distribution of Bitcoin's total supply. Each colored band represents the percentage of Bitcoin that has not moved for a certain period of time (UTXOs being the most recent active). Specifically, the "10+ Years" band measures Bitcoins that have been held in a single address or wallet for at least 10 years.

Every time they say Bitcoin is dead, be sure that a rally is coming.
In the near and distant past, Bitcoin has been declared dead 471 times. If you had entered with $100 every single time, you would literally be a millionaire.

$BTC SUPPLY ON EXCHANGES JUST HIT AN 8-YEAR LOW
The amount of #Bitcoin sitting on exchanges has dropped to its lowest level since late 2017, according to new on-chain data.
That matters because coins held on exchanges are typically the most liquid supply -- the $BTC most likely to be sold.
Right now the trend is the opposite.
Investors have spent the last several years withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges into cold storage and institutional custody, reducing the amount of BTC immediately available for sale.
Several factors are driving it:

NEW: 🇨🇳 China’s largest state banks are tightening controls on retail gold purchases as demand surges.
Major lenders including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Bank of China are reportedly imposing nationwide daily quotas on accumulated gold purchases.
Once the daily quota is reached, further buying is halted across the bank.
The move comes as gold price volatility increases and physical delivery demand rises.
Some banks are also extending delivery times for physical gold products.
Accumulated gold products are bank-mediated investment accounts that tra

🤔 #AAVE Aave and CoW Swap have published conflicting analyses regarding a transaction where a user exchanged 50.4 million aEthUSDT for aEthAAVE valued at $36,000. Aave attributed the losses to an "illiquid market" and introduced the "Aave Shield" feature, which blocks swaps that affect the price by over 25%. In contrast, CoW Swap's analysis highlighted issues such as outdated gas limits rejecting more profitable offers, the best solver winning two auctions but failing to execute them on the blockchain, and #data suggesting the transaction originated from a private mempool. #cryptocrash

#AAVETokenSwapControversy
AAVETokenSwapControversy
The decentralized finance community was recently shaken by a controversial token swap involving the AAVE token that resulted in one of the largest trading losses ever recorded in the DeFi sector. The incident occurred when a crypto trader attempted to swap more than fifty million dollars worth of stablecoins for AAVE tokens through a decentralized trading route connected to the Aave interface. Instead of receiving tokens close to the expected value the trader ended up with only a few hundred AAVE tokens worth roughly thirty six thousand dolla

#FirstTradeOfTheWeek
#FirstTradeOfTheWeek — XBR Weekly Trading Plan
With XBR currently trading around $105.82, the market is sitting near an important psychological support level. Small-cap tokens like XBR often experience strong volatility because liquidity is relatively low and a few large trades can move the price significantly. This means both sharp pumps and quick corrections are possible within a short time frame.
Because of this, the best approach for the week is to focus on clear support zones, breakout levels, and proper risk management before entering any trade.
📊 Current Market S

ETH is currently in a gradual decline and is consolidating at the bottom, in a bearish continuation phase. Short-term sideways movement is merely a rest during the downtrend, not a reversal to stability.
Price is repeatedly oscillating at lows, wearing down bulls' patience. Once consolidation ends, there's a high probability of a rapid sell-off.
MACD continues to operate below the zero line, with green bars repeatedly showing increased volume and no sign of bullish golden cross reversal. The technical picture is entirely bearish, and the outlook remains bearish.
