Bitcoin Slides to $79,675 as Spot ETFs Bleed $635M and 200-Day MA Caps Rally

Spot Bitcoin ETF products absorbed their heaviest single-day blow since late January, with investors pulling roughly $635 million from the eleven U.S.-listed funds in a single trading session. The drawdown stretched a five-day outflow streak to about $1.26 billion, trimming cumulative net inflows since the January 2024 debut to $58.5 billion from $59.76 billion a week earlier. The exodus arrived as Bitcoin stalled near the 200-day simple moving average just above $82,000, snapping a six-week rally that had carried prices from $65,000 toward the $80,000 handle. Persistent inflation surprises and a more hawkish read on the incoming Fed chair reshaped flow expectations for the back half of the quarter.　　Technical analysts flagged the 200-day moving average at $82,400 as a textbook bear-market resistance, citing the March 2022 episode in which Bitcoin reversed sharply after a similar test. Trader unrealized profit margins climbed to 17.7% on May 5, the loftiest reading since June and a near-mirror of the 2022 setup that preceded a deeper leg lower. On-chain data shows holders cashed out roughly 14,600 BTC worth nearly $1.2 billion on May 4, the largest realized-profit spike since early December. If the rejection holds, the next meaningful support cluster sits around $70,000, the

Former Braves All-Star, Mets World Series Member And Phillies Coach Dies

The Atlanta Braves might not have been an inaugural member when the National League East division formed in 1969, but they joined shortly afterward and quickly made their mark.　　The Braves first won the division in 1995, shortly after becoming a member, and have gone on to capture its most titles in its history.　　And now the Braves are among the division rivals to receive news that one standout former player with some unique history among several of the rival teams has died.　　Former Atlanta Braves All-Star, Pitching Sensation Buzz Capra Dies　　“Lee ‘Buzz’ Capra, age 78, passed away on May 11, 2026,” according to a local obituary. “Buzzs legacy will live on through his family, the many lives he touched through baseball, and the countless friendships he cherished throughout the years.”　　Some Braves fans may recall Capras debut season with the team in 1974, which saw him earn the sole All-Star bid of his career, along with MVP Award and Cy Young Award votes after he led the National League with a 2.28 ERA across 217 total innings.　　“Before the days of (Tom) Glavine, (Greg) Maddux and (John) Smoltz, Buzz Capra had one of the best seasons a Braves starter ever had, going 16-8 in

Saylor vs. Musk Wealth Race: Michael Saylor could surpass Elon Musk in net worth if Bitcoin reaches $4.2 million. The scenario becomes possible due to the MNAV premium at which MicroStrategy shares trade relative to net asset value.XRP Rally Pauses: Capital inflows into XRP funds dropped to $0 following the launch of the first U.S. spot Hyperliquid ETF (THYP) from 21Shares and ahead of the final Senate vote on the CLARITY Act.Record Cardano Accumulation: Large holders – addresses with balances above 1 million ADA – accumulated a historic record of 25.09 billion tokens, taking control of 67.47% of the total circulating supply of Cardano.Crypto Market Outlook: Bitcoin corrected below $80,000 amid a record $635 million single-day ETF outflow and escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China.　　Why Bitcoin at $4.2 million could make Saylor richer than Elon Musk　　Famous crypto entrepreneur and head of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor has a nonzero chance of overtaking Elon Musk as the richest person in the world.

Bitcoin analysis: BTCs recent rally past $80,000 lacked Coinbase premium

Other onchain metrics, such as CryptoQuants apparent demand, also point to lingering weakness in spot demand. The metric, which measures how much new bitcoin is absorbed by the market relative to mining issuance and changes in dormant supply, has narrowed to -11,000 BTC as of today, from -91,000 BTC in April.　　In other words, onchain demand has improved from a heavy supply overhang to near balance. However, it is still slightly negative, indicating spot absorption is falling short of meeting supply-side pressures.　　Futures-led rally　　The demand growth that materialized was concentrated in perpetual futures positions rather than spot accumulation, according to CryptoQuant.　　Perpetuals are futures without expiry, allowing traders to hold leveraged bullish and bearish bets, with funding payments to keep contract prices close to the spot price.　　The leverage magnifies gains but also carries risk. Perpetual futures bids can unwind quickly when funding rates flip or liquidations cascade. Spot accumulation tends to sit on the order book for longer.　　Hence, rallies driven by futures positioning rather than spot demand tend to be less durable. Coincidentally, BTC has fallen back below $80,000 over the past 24 hours.　　2022 again？　　CryptoQuant said in a weekly note that the current setup is that the rally has the structural signature of

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Trapped Below Sell Walls

Ethereum is still under pressure as whale sell walls block the path toward $2,400. The charts show ETH needs a clean move above $2,323 before buyers can claim the first real recovery signal.　　Ethereum Price Faces Whale Sell Wall as ETH Struggles Below $2,400　　Ethereum is trading below a major sell wall near $2,400, according to the chart shared by CW. The chart shows ETH recovering from the $2,233 area, but the move still faces resistance before price can reach the upper zone.　　CW said Binance whales formed the larger sell wall at $2,400. This means large sell orders may be waiting near that level, which can slow or block an upside move.　　Ethereum Whale Sell Wall Setup. Source:　　The chart also shows a smaller short-term sell wall near the $2,320 area. CW said Coinbase whales created that barrier, which suggests U.S.-based whale activity is limiting the current recovery attempt.　　ETH has moved back toward the $2,267 area after bouncing from the recent low. However, the structure still shows price trading below both whale resistance zones. This keeps the short-term trend under pressure.　　The $2,320 area is the first level ETH needs to clear. If price breaks above that zone, the next major test would come near

Norwegian Krone: Further upside potential versus SEK – Rabobank

Finance　　Norwegian Krone: Further upside potential versus SEK – Rabobank　　Rabobank‘s FX Strategy team notes that NOK/SEK has gained around 11% year-to-date as the Norwegian central bank turned more hawkish while the Riksbank stayed on hold. They highlight sticky inflation and Norway’s energy-exporter status as supportive for the Norwegian Krone. The bank prefers buying NOK/SEK on dips and targets 1.02 over a three-month horizon.　　Norwegian Krone supported by hawkish Norges Bank　　“At the same time, the Norges Bank swung from a dovish tone at the end of last year to a more hawkish stance based on domestically driven sticky inflationary pressure.”　　“This triggered a Norges Bank rate hike last week on the same day that the Riksbank maintained steady policy.”　　“While fiscal policy will help support consumption in Sweden and potentially lift underlying inflation pressures, sticky inflation has been a theme in Norway for a while.”　　“In the year to date, NOK/SEK has risen around 11%, and we see the potential for further upside in the months ahead.”　　“We favour buying NOK/SEK on dips and look for a move towards the 1.02 level on a 3-month view.”

Ethereum Sees Surge in Realized Profits Despite Price Dip

On-chain data from recent days suggests traders are locking in profits, encouraged by earlier periods of accumulation and higher transaction volumes.　　Ethereum posted around $74.58 million in realized profits whether for small- or large-scale traders, the highest total in three weeks even after a ~5.5% price drop from its three-day high, according to Santiment Data Report. This yielded a wide pattern for how profit taking behavior can look even if price action played short term.　　Realized profits rising during a price drop may seem paradoxical at first glance. However, this is a pretty market action in which investors that bought at much lower rates start taking profits amid very brief pullbacks.　　February and March were a time dominated by geopolitical fears fracturing the world order, stressing commodity supply chains and fuelling wider crypto market volatility with Ethereum hovering below $2,000 for much of that period. During this period, institutional players accumulated quietly while the price was suppressed.　　The ETHs purchased on this dip nearly four years ago are still up considerably in mid-May, with Ethereum stuck at lower levels. As a result, numerous holders are choosing to sell chunks of their holdings and realize profits before the price volatility comes.　　This wave of selling does

Ethereum ICO Whale Moves 50 ETH after 10.8 Years of Dormancy

A pioneer Ethereum ICO member has recently reemerged with an exclusive $ETH transfer. Particularly, the Ethereum whale has awakened after 10.8 years, transferring 50 $ETH coins. As per the data from Lookonchain, this reentry to the market following such a long period could be very significant, with potential implications. The market participants are keenly observing the potential motive behind this move and its likely outcomes.　　Another #Ethereum ICO participant woke up after 10.8 years of dormancy, just transferring 50 $ETH ($113K) to a new wallet.　　Pioneer Ethereum Investor Transacts 50 $ETH Following 10.8-Year Dormancy　　One of the early Ethereum ICO members has resurfaced after remaining inactive for 10.8 years.

Ethereum Leverage Tells Two Different Stories On Binance And OKX: Traders Face A Fragile Setup

Ethereum is consolidating between $2,250 and $2,450 as the market searches for the catalyst or the structural shift that forces a decisive move in either direction. The price is holding but not breaking — and CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV has identified a divergence in the derivatives data across two of the largest exchanges in the world that adds a specific risk dimension to the current setup that most participants are not watching.　　The analysis examines the Estimated Leverage Ratio — the measure of how much derivatives exposure is being built on top of the ETH reserve base held by each exchange. A higher ratio does not automatically signal danger, but it does describe a more sensitive market structure: more open positions relative to available reserves means more potential volatility per unit of the underlying asset, and a lower tolerance for adverse price movements before liquidation dynamics begin to take hold.　　Since the October 10 crash, Binance‘s ETH reserves have declined approximately 5.9% — from 4.037 million to 3.8 million ETH. Over the same period, OKX reserves have collapsed by approximately 82.3%, falling from 861,000 to just 152,600 ETH. Despite that dramatic reserve reduction, OKX’s Estimated Leverage Ratio now sits at approximately 5.6 —
