Today the market was noticeably weaker, with BTC pushed back below 80k. I think the most important thing now is not how much it has fallen, but that the 80k level is increasingly resembling a dividing line between short-term strength and weakness. After BTC dropped back, mainstream altcoins like ETH, SOL, and XRP immediately started to weaken, especially SOL which fell more noticeably; but BNB and DOGE can still hold up, indicating that funds haven't completely fled, just reallocating more clearly. A few other lines are also very critical: US PPI hit 6%, and the market is once again worried about inflation and interest rates; The Clarity Act is approaching a key point, but amendments and disputes are increasing; Traditional finance is still entering the market, but the pace is clearly more selective—it's not buying every crypto story. So my current view is very simple: If BTC recovers above 80k, the market can continue to oscillate strongly; If it fails to hold above 80k, altcoins are likely to continue being drained. Short-term weak, but not yet time for a complete reversal.

#Gate广场五月交易分享 Halving cycle nearing its end: The full picture of Bitcoin's volatility and long-short battles in 2026 In October 2025, Bitcoin reached a historic high of $126k, then plummeted to $60k in February 2026, a retracement of 50%; in May, it rebounded to $81k, still below the 82,894 USD 200-day moving average, maintaining a bearish oscillation structure technically. The bull market peak after the April 2024 halving was realized as expected, but the cycle logic was reshaped by institutional funds, raising doubts about the sustainability of the rebound. On-chain and capital indicators are weak: this round of rally was driven by perpetual contract leverage buying, with real spot demand remaining weak; daily realized profits amount to 14,600 BTC, with short-term profit-taking pressure continuously accumulating. Since November 2025, spot ETF net outflows have totaled $1.3 billion, indicating low institutional long-term allocation willingness. Three-party fierce market battles: The bearish camp predicts a bottom in October based on the 12-month historical bear market cycle, targeting $32k–$60k; Early bullish camp believes $60k is already the bottom, and breaking $90k will accelerate the upward trend; Neutral institutions generally expect a second bottom, closely watching the strong support at $50k, with Standard Chartered lowering the annual target to $100k. Macroeconomic suppression is significant: US CPI remains high, Fed rate cut and hike expectations are delayed, suppressing crypto risk appetite; the geopolitical crisis in the Strait of Hormuz pushes oil prices higher, with Bitcoin and the US dollar index showing a high negative correlation of -0.9, intensifying risk aversion and volatility resonance. Key observation thresholds: Confirm reversal by holding above the $83,000 200-day moving average; a fall below $78,000 signals a secondary decline; closely monitor the June Fed meeting, ETF capital flows, and changes in international energy prices. Conclusion: The current rebound is a leverage-driven weak recovery, with fundamentals in spot markets not improved, and significant disagreement between bulls and bears. Before breaking key moving averages, a trend reversal signal has not yet been established.

Short-term strategy suggestions: Bullish scenario: If the price shows sustained volume increase to halt decline + bottom fractal + Delta turns positive near 78,700, consider a small long position, target 79,800 → 80,400, stop loss at 78,400. Bearish scenario: If a rebound to 80,000–80,400 shows a top fractal accompanied by volume decline, confirming the end of the upward stroke + double top volume extension, consider shorting, target 77,500, stop loss at 80,600.
