Bitcoin Faces New Purge Risk as Bear-Market Losses Trail 2022 by $35B

Bitcoin’s bear-market narrative remains unsettled as on-chain data shows realized losses in the 2026 downturn have yet to surpass the peak hit during 2022, even though the market’s dollar-denominated value sits higher. Analysts warn that a fresh phase of capitulation could still materialize before bulls find a durable bottom, highlighting a complex tug-of-war between stubborn retail conviction and displaced institutional selling. Key takeaways Bitcoin’s 2026 realized losses have not yet exceeded the 2022 peak of about $211 billion, despite a higher market cap in USD terms. Analysts suggest a new round of loss-making market exits may be needed to preserve historical bear-market patterns. Retail conviction remains notably high, even as macro catalysts push prices lower, complicating the conventional bear-market bottom story. Institutions have tended to sell into relief rallies, potentially delaying a capitulation-driven bottom and rebalancing supply-demand dynamics. The market may requir...

Bhutan Bitcoin Transfers Add Pressure as BTC Faces Key Support Test

Fresh on-chain activity from Bhutan-linked Bitcoin wallets has added pressure to an already weak crypto market. Several large Bitcoin transfers emerged within a single day, while analysts projected deeper downside risks. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continued trading near critical support levels after recent macroeconomic developments triggered renewed selling pressure. Bhutan Government-Linked Wallets Move Over $67 Million in Bitcoin Blockchain tracking data showed multiple Bitcoin transfers from wallets linked to Bhutan on Saturday. The transactions totaled more than 1,095 BTC and exceeded $67 million in value. The transfers attracted attention during a period of heightened market volatility.

Bitcoin hits its most oversold level since 2020 crash, eyes $70K

Bitcoin is trading amid unusually deep selling pressure, with on-chain momentum and widely watched momentum indicators signaling an extreme oversold state. The daily relative strength index (RSI) has slid toward the mid-teens, marking the most oversold reading since the March 2020 COVID crash. After a roughly 30% drop over the last month, bulls are clinging to the $60,000 level as analysts weigh whether a meaningful relief rally could unfold in the near term. Key takeaways: Bitcoin’s daily RSI sits near 15.5, its lowest level since the COVID-era selloff in March 2020. Historical precedents show that similar oversold readings in 2020 and February 2026 preceded notable rebounds of roughly 50% and 30%, respectively. BTC has held above $60,000 despite heavy selling, with a potential move toward the 20-day exponential moving average near $70,650 if demand returns. A decisive break below $60,000 could open the door to a deeper slide into the mid-$50,000s, undermining the bounce setup. On-cha...
