Bitcoin long liquidations ripped through the market in mid-May 2026, turning an already fragile setup into a sharp correction that erased roughly $109.7 million in bullish positions over three days. What made the Bitcoin long liquidations stand out was not just the scale of the wipeout, but the way several pressure points lined up at once: weaker exchange outflows, rising sell-side liquidity on trading platforms, persistent short bias in derivatives, and fresh macro jitters tied to U.S. inflation data. The warning signs were already visible before the biggest flush. Bitcoin exchange outflows fell to 19,995 $BTC on May 11, well…

Ethereum remains under significant pressure across higher and lower timeframes after losing several major technical levels in quick succession. While the recent rebound from the local bottom around $1.5K has provided some short-term relief, the broader structure still favors sellers unless $ETH can reclaim a series of key resistance zones overhead. Moreover, the rising put/call ratio suggests increasing caution and demand for downside hedging among options participants, rather than growing bullish exposure. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart The daily chart shows a decisive breakdown from a multi-month bearish flag that had been developing since February. After repeatedly finding support…

Key takeaways Bitcoin has dipped below $80,000 after being rejected by the key 200-day EMA supply zone. US-listed spot ETFs recorded an outflow of $635 million on Wednesday. Bitcoin ($BTC) fell below $80,000 on Thursday after failing to overcome a key overhead supply area earlier this week.

Highest single-day ETF outflow in three months signals weakening institutional demand Institutional demand for Bitcoin has weakened, with spot ETFs…

Yet the growing institutional interest has not translated neatly into $ETH’s market performance, a disconnect that has frustrated many investors. Raman attributes that gap largely to timing. “The sales cycles for institutions are especially long,” he said. “The piping is all in place. We just haven’t seen all the assets come onchain yet.” He said his view is that Ethereum is currently in a transitional phase where the infrastructure has largely been built, but the scale of adoption has yet to be fully reflected in the asset itself. As more tokenized assets migrate onchain, he believes the market will eventually…
