Ethereum’s latest rebound has brought the $10,000 bull-market debate back into focus, but crypto analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) says ETH has not yet confirmed a higher-timeframe trend reversal. In a May 7 market update, the analyst argued that Ethereum remains trapped below major resistance until it can reclaim the $2,800 area and prove the move with a successful retest.

100K BTC Vanish From Exchanges
Buyers on Binance shifted decisively in recent weeks. The exchange’s seven-day net taker volume swung from roughly -$1 billion in late March — a period dominated by sellers — to around $2.6 billion by early May, signaling that demand had returned with some force.

Bitcoin News Today: Why the $80K Support Is Under Threat Despite Institutional Momentum
Bitcoin traded at $79,732 as of May 7, down 2% over 24 hours, after sharply rejecting a five-month high of $82,784 reached two sessions prior. This is not very bullish news for Bitcoin today. The reversal pulled BTC back below the $80,000 psychological threshold, a level it has now failed to structurally hold across three separate tests in four months. The analytical question is no longer whether Bitcoin can reach $80,000; it is whether the structural conditions exist to convert that level from a ceiling into a floor. On-chain data,…
