CRYPTOQUANT WARNS BITCOIN IS REPEATING THE 2022 BEAR MARKET PATTERN According to a new report from CryptoQuant, the current behavior of Bitcoin shows many similarities to the March 2022 bear market phase, when the market experienced a short rebound before continuing to drop sharply. Data shows: • BTC was strongly rejected at the MA200 zone around 82.4K USD • Then quickly dropped back to the 76K USD area • This pattern closely resembles the "dead cat bounce" seen in the previous down cycle CryptoQuant believes market sentiment has returned to the "extreme bearish" zone – extremely pessimistic. Some negative signals mentioned: • Demand for buying Bitcoin is weakening • Speculative activity on perpetual futures has sharply declined • US Bitcoin spot ETFs have shifted to a net outflow state • Coinbase Premium remains negative, indicating US capital has not yet returned to the market Analysis shows that both institutions and retail investors in the US are currently standing on the sidelines observing rather than buying aggressively as in previous bull market phases. However, many traders also note that extremely bearish psychological zones in the past often appear near Bitcoin's medium-term bottom formation area.#OKXOrbitTopics

FED SIGNALS KEEPING INTEREST RATES HIGHER FOR LONGER – CRYPTO MARKET CONTINUES TO FACE PRESSURE According to the latest FED meeting minutes, officials from the U.S. Federal Reserve believe that prolonged inflation along with instability from the Middle East situation may force the current monetary policy to be maintained longer than expected. This means: • FED is not ready to cut interest rates soon • The high interest rate environment may persist longer • Liquidity for risk assets like crypto continues to be tightened This information is adding pressure on market sentiment as investors had previously expected the FED to ease policy soon this year. Analysts believe: • Oil prices are rising due to Middle East tensions • U.S. inflation has not cooled down strongly enough • Economic data remains too "hot" making it difficult for the FED to pivot to rate cuts in the short term. This is also one of the reasons why Bitcoin and altcoins have recently experienced strong volatility following short-term recoveries.#OKXOrbitTopics

FED IS SHIFTING FROM "CUTTING INTEREST RATES" TO FEARING "RAISING INTEREST RATES" AGAIN According to Nick Timiraos – a Wall Street Journal reporter known as the "FED spokesperson," officials at the U.S. Federal Reserve are now almost no longer focused on discussing interest rate cuts as they have been for the past two years. Instead, at the April meeting, the FED began seriously considering the possibility of having to raise interest rates again if inflation continues to heat up. The meeting minutes show: "The majority of members believe that if inflation continues to remain above the 2% target, further policy tightening may be appropriate." This information is putting significant pressure on global financial markets, especially crypto and tech stocks. Investors previously expected the FED to soon pivot to cutting interest rates to support liquidity. However: • U.S. CPI remains higher than expected • Energy prices rise due to Middle East tensions • The risk of inflation returning is increasingly evident Notably, the April meeting was also Jerome Powell's final meeting as FED Chair, making the market even more cautious about potential policy changes in the near future. Many traders believe that if the FED truly returns to a cycle of raising interest rates, the crypto market could face even stronger adjustment pressures.#OKXOrbitTopics

WINTERMUTE WARNS THE CRYPTO MARKET IS FACING MAJOR MACRO RISKS According to the latest market intelligence report from Wintermute, the global financial market is entering a large-scale "revaluation" phase as investor expectations have shifted from anticipating a FED rate cut to preparing for the possibility of rate hikes. Wintermute states that stronger-than-expected US economic data along with returning inflationary pressures are putting significant pressure on risk asset markets, especially crypto. Bitcoin previously surpassed 83,000 USD but quickly dropped sharply, dragging a series of altcoins down by double digits in a short time. The report suggests the recent rally was mainly driven by a "short squeeze" in the futures market rather than genuine spot buying demand. Some key points: • Bitcoin derivatives Open Interest increased by about 10 billion USD in just 1 month • Total OI reached around 58 billion USD • Spot trading volume dropped to the lowest level in 2 years • When BTC surpassed 80K, numerous short positions were liquidated, causing a short-term pump Wintermute believes the market still lacks sustainable spot buying power to form a long-term structural bottom. However, the report also highlights some positive long-term signals: • Bitcoin spot ETFs still recorded inflows of about 623 million USD • The amount of BTC on exchanges dropped to the lowest level in 7 years In the short term, if large capital continues to flow into government bonds and safe-haven assets, the crypto market may face more significant volatility ahead.#OKXOrbitTopics

ON-CHAIN ANALYSIS SHOWS WHALES ARE STILL SUPPORTING BITCOIN AROUND 76K–78K According to new analysis from Murphy, although Bitcoin has dropped for 5 consecutive trading sessions from 05/15 to 05/19 causing market sentiment to turn strongly bearish, on-chain data shows that large capital flows have not yet left the market. Many retail investors are now starting to worry that BTC could return to the 40K–50K range. However, the on-chain chip distribution structure reflects a different picture. Key price zones: • 66,000 USD and 78,000 USD are the two areas with the largest volume of handoffs • This indicates that whales and large capital inflows have strongly entered at these zones • Meanwhile, the 80K–82K range has relatively low handoff volume despite BTC trading sideways there for nearly a week According to Murphy, this suggests that when BTC surpasses 80K, the market becomes more cautious rather than experiencing strong FOMO. Most notably, the data on 05/19: • When the price dropped to 76K, the accumulated chips in this zone increased sharply • Previously, the 76K area held just over 200,000 BTC • Now the chips here have risen to about 380,000 BTC This shows that new capital has actively entered to catch the bottom instead of panic selling. The analysis suggests that Bitcoin's reasonable correction zone currently lies between 66K–78K. If the market completes the process of renewal and accumulation in this area, the price structure could become more stable for the next bullish cycle. Although the exact final bottom cannot yet be determined, on-chain data currently shows that the support level below still clearly exists.#OKXOrbitTopics

BITGO CONTINUES TO INCREASE BITCOIN HOLDINGS – ARE LARGE INSTITUTIONS SILENTLY ACCUMULATING? According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET, the digital asset custodian BitGo Holdings purchased an additional 776 BTC in the first quarter of this year. Currently, the total amount of Bitcoin held by BitGo has risen to 2,449 BTC, placing the company 31st in the Bitcoin 100 rankings. This move is attracting market attention because BitGo is one of the largest and most influential crypto custodians in the institutional digital asset space. Amid strong market volatility and increased caution among retail investors, the continued increase in BTC holdings by institutions is seen as a signal that long-term confidence in Bitcoin remains intact. Many traders believe that the current corrections may be leveraged by large funds and institutions to accumulate more Bitcoin at lower price levels.#OKXOrbitTopics
