Technical Analysis

Bitcoin rebounded after a weak weekend start tied to reports of a possible U.S.–Iran agreement, but a technical setup suggests the move may still be fragile. A chart shared by analyst Aksel Kibar outlines an ascending channel on the daily timeframe, with a potential pullback zone around $72,000–$72,500 before any rebound attempt.

Bitcoin is still facing downside pressure after losing traction above the $80K-$82K resistance band, while buyers appear to be defending the $75K support zone. The setup points to a possible short-term rebound toward $78K-$80K before sellers potentially reassert control. Key levels discussed include resistance at $82K-$84K and lower-demand areas at $70K-$71K, with deeper support near $65K-$66K.

XRP whale activity has fallen over the past nine days, with transactions above $1 million sliding from 157 to 67, a 57.3% drop. Analysts say the pullback may reflect positioning and tighter liquidity, while XRP trades at $1.36 with key levels clustered around $1.28–$1.30 and $1.40–$1.45.

Morpho (MORPHO) rose 10.3% over the past day at press time, alongside increased activity in its perpetuals market. Longs made up 54% of perpetual volume and the Long/Short ratio hit 1.27, while open interest jumped 11% in the past 24 hours and funding reached 0.0053%. Technically, price was approaching $2.23; a break could target $2.36, while a rejection may pull it back toward rising channel support.

Gold hovered around $4,509 per ounce on Sunday after sliding about $30 to $35 over the May 17-24 window, as the U.S. dollar stayed firm and Treasury yields climbed. The DXY held roughly between 99.0 and 99.4 while the 10-year yield moved toward 4.5% to 4.6%, helping keep demand cautious and contributing to ETF outflows.

Tom Lee's BitMine is sitting on about $7.3 billion in unrealized losses on its Ethereum treasury as ETH sentiment weakens and technical signals turn bearish. A breakdown could imply a move toward $1,600 (about 25% lower), which would lift BitMine's paper losses to nearly $10.1 billion based on 5.28 million ETH held and a $3,513 average cost.

EigenCloud (EIGEN) rose more than 20% in the past 24 hours as daily spot volume increased 27% to about $34 million. The move coincided with higher on-chain activity over the last three days and a 94% surge in Binance futures volume. Price is trading near neckline resistance around $0.23, with indicators showing strong momentum but overbought conditions.

NEAR traded near $2.41 on Sunday, rising about 54% over seven days and 13% in the past 24 hours as short covering and fresh leveraged positioning helped drive momentum. Open interest climbed above $720 million and 24-hour volume exceeded $1 billion, while the market also focused on NEAR's AI positioning and its Intents-based chain abstraction narrative. The protocol's next major roadmap checkpoint is Dynamic Resharding, targeted for June 2026.

The global crypto market cap stood at $2.56 trillion at publication, with altcoins at $1.097 trillion, even as Bitcoin moved back above $75,000. Despite several majors posting sharp gains, CoinMarketCap's altcoin season index was 38, implying the market is still in a Bitcoin-led phase rather than a broad altcoin season. On-chain indicators cited in the report also suggest most altcoins remain highly tethered to Bitcoin and many are still trading near their all-time lows.

Bitcoin was trading around $77,000 on May 24, 2026 after failing again near the 200-day moving average at $82,000-$83,000, keeping traders focused on whether $60,000 could be revisited. Over the prior two weeks, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.26 billion of net outflows while perpetual swap funding stayed negative for 81 straight days, two signals pointing to cautious positioning. Analysts highlighted $81,000-$85,000 as resistance and $75,000-$76,000 as a key support zone to hold.
