What's Happening to Crypto Markets? The Onchain Data That Explains Everything

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Leverage Overload, Fundamental Weakness. Record leverage created a "house of cards" structure. Without strong underlying spot volume and new buyers, the market became highly susceptible to cascading liquidations.
  2. The Profits Are In. Long-term Bitcoin holders have already cashed out nearly twice the profit they did last cycle ($900B vs. $500B), indicating the "wealth distribution" phase is well underway.
  3. The Line in the Sand. The key level to watch is Bitcoin's 50-week moving average (around $102k). As long as Bitcoin holds above it, the bull market structure remains intact; two weekly closes below it would be a strong confirmation that the cycle is over.
