Bitcoin has continued to show weakness in price movement, with limited upside momentum over the past several weeks. The cryptocurrency has declined by 22.3% in the last month alone, bringing its price down to $83,191 at the time of writing . The drop reflects ongoing uncertainty in the broader crypto market, as investors are struggling with reduced risk appetite and a lack of strong bullish catalysts. Whale Accumulation Patterns Echo Previous Bull Market Phases Despite the downtrend, recent on-chain activity suggests that certain investor cohorts remain confident in Bitcoin’s long-term value. In particular, whale addresses—wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC—have demonstrated a historical correlation with Bitcoin’s price trends. According to CryptoQuant contributor Mignolet, the current market cycle bears a resemblance to the 2020 bull cycle, where these whales exhibited accumulation behavior during bearish sentiment phases. Mignolet noted that these patterns occurred t...

After showing signs of recovery last week, Bitcoin appears to have lost its upward momentum once again. The cryptocurrency was closing in on the $90,000 psychological level but has since reversed direction, falling by 6.4% over the past week to hover around $82,000 at the time of writing. This decline has placed renewed attention on market metrics that suggest the rally may have been short-lived. Amid this downward movement, several on-chain analysts have raised questions about whether recent price trends reflect real demand or speculative behavior. Particularly, insights from CryptoQuant contributors point to warning signs, including a divergence between market capitalization and actual network activity. NVT Indicator Signals Caution Amid Low Transaction Volume In a recent post titled “Manipulative Moves or True Value? A Bitcoin and NVT Analysis,” CryptoQuant analyst BorisVest pointed to the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio as a critical metric for understanding curren...

Shares of Coinbase (COIN), the largest crypto exchange in the US, have faced significant declines during the first quarter (Q1) of the year, primarily due to escalating concerns about the US economy and its impact on digital assets.  Coinbase And Others Face Increased Volatility According to Bloomberg, Coinbase’s stock has dropped more than 30% since the beginning of the quarter, marking its worst performance since the collapse of the FTX exchange in late 2022.  This decline is reflective of a broader trend affecting nearly all major crypto-linked stocks, including companies like Galaxy Digital Holdings (GLXY.TO), Riot Platforms (RIOT), and Core Scientific (CORZ). The cryptocurrency market itself is experiencing turmoil, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling over 20% from its all-time high and Ethereum (ETH) plummeting more than 45% in value.  These shifts come amid President Donald Trump’s escalation of a “global trade war,” which has stirred fears about the health of the ...

According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is down by a little over 2% in the past month.
