boss

XRP is approaching a decisive liquidity zone after a brutal market-wide crypto flush, with analyst Will Taylor (@CryptoinsightUK) arguing that downside liquidity has largely been swept while larger pools may now sit above price.

Bitcoin Traders see No Bear-Market Bottom Until at Least Q3

boss

Bitcoin (BTC) starts the second week of June with damage control — and new macro lows are still expected this year.

Peace-deal pledges by US President Donald Trump do little to stabilize the risk-asset picture. Multiple onchain indicators give analysts hope that the worst of the sell-off is over. Crypto sentiment dives to some of its lowest levels on…

Did SpaceX IPO fever trigger Bitcoin’s crash?

boss

Among the many explanations offered for the June 2026 crypto crash, one has gained surprising traction: that Bitcoin fell not because of anything wrong with Bitcoin, but because of a rocket company. Summary SpaceX IPO excitement reflects a real rotation of speculative attention toward AI stocks and private-equity opportunities.

The abrupt crash was driven more directly by acute catalysts and leveraged liquidations than by gradual IPO demand. SpaceX symbolizes a longer-term challenge as crypto loses its monopoly…
