📉🔴 Market | 28.06 - A rare “double minus” and geopolitical anxiety
The crypto market is ending the first half of 2026 deep in a dark.. red zone
🔻Anti-record: BTC fell below the $60,000 mark (trading around $59,940). This led to a rare historical event—two consecutive losing quarters at the start of the year (Q1: -22%, Q2: ~-12%). In the asset’s entire history, this has happened only twice
🔻Altа: ETH lost about 25% over the quarter, trading at around $1,567 Dogecoin (-11.7%) and HYPE (-10.6%) dropped the most over the week
Only Solana and Tron show relative resilience ━━━━━━
Why is the market falling? 1. Macroeconomics: Hardline rhetoric from the Fed under the leadership of the new chair Kevin Warsh, and the dollar at a 7-month high
2. ETFs and AI: Ongoing capital outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. Investors are favoring chipmakers’ stocks amid the AI boom
3. The U.S. and Iran are exchanging strikes again. Trump said that “Iran may be able to end its own existence” Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is again under threat
What’s next? We’ll watch whether the weakness from the first half carries into the third quarter, or whether demand for ETFs will recover
On Monday, U.S.-Iran talks are expected to resume, which could affect market sentiment #analysis
❗️Precedent. Ukraine took the criminals’ crypto for itself for the first time!
In Ukraine, the first seized cryptocurrency was transferred to the management of the state.
More than 8.3 million USDT was transferred to the accounts of ARMA.
(ARMA is the agency that handles confiscated property) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🤷How did it happen like this?
They caught hackers—a multinational group that attacked companies in Europe and the US and raked in money from it 😵😵.
The scheme is already a classic one: they hacked, stole data, and demanded a ransom. Total losses—over 100 million dollars 😳
And the money was laundered here in Ukraine—used to buy real estate, cars, and all kinds of other goodies.
In the case, they detained 4 people, including the organizer.
The total value of everything that was seized—crypto, apartments, cash—was over $11 million 💵💵.
But the whole point here is that for the first time, this crypto didn’t just sit somewhere in accounts—it officially moved under state management. A precedent ❗️

⛔️📉 Crypto-panic: tech giants are pulling everything down
The global selloff of technology stocks has triggered a serious crypto crash.
While investors are fiddling with AI, the crypto market is struggling for survival.
The main takeaway: 🔹BTC: Dropped to $58,000, but is trying to rebound to 60,000. The 50,000–60,000 zone is critical support, where historically buyers have always shown up
🔹Altcoins: ETH, XRP, and Doge are falling much faster than BTC. Interesting fact: due to ETH’s drop, the stablecoin Tether temporarily overtook it by market cap, becoming the second-largest cryptocurrency
🔹Liquidations: In the past 24 hours, more than $1 billion was wiped out, including $842 million in longs ━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why is everything falling? 🔻Apple shares fell 6.1% after news about a potential increase in prices for tech equipment triggered a selloff in Asian markets (South Korea’s Kospi fell 9%)
🔻ETFs: For already 6 days, there has been an outflow of funds from BTC and ETH ETFs. Only in the last four days, nearly $700 million was withdrawn from BTC funds
🔻Quarter-end: Today’s expiration of quarterly options adds volatility and will set the trend for July
🔻Anti-recapture Strategy: Salesforce currently has an unrealized “paper” loss of over $13 billion. This loss exceeds the market capitalizations of projects like Dogecoin, Cardano, or Chainlink.
🚦 What’s next? We’ll be watching the 55,000 level as the key support, and 61,000–62,000, which need to be reclaimed to resume the upward trend

📉 Is the trampoline at $60,000 or the start of a "cryptowinter"?
In the markets, we’re seeing some real "American bull" vibes.
BTC has been holding steady at the psychological level of 59,000, triggering a massive liquidation wave of over 1 billion.
Main Points: ➖Reasons for the drop: Massive capital outflow from spot ETFs ($469 million in a day), the "hawkish" stance of the FOMC, and the strengthening of the US dollar to a 7-month high.
➖Rescue round from AI: The market started to recover thanks to the equity market. Chipmaker Micron Technology reported an astonishing financial result, boosting stocks by 15% and restoring investor confidence in "AI trades."
Against this backdrop, BTC climbed back above $60,000, while ETH and SOL started to recover losses. ━━━━━━━━━━
What’s next? 🧐 Analysts are warning: Bitcoin is currently wavering around its 200-week moving average.
Historically, if the price closes below this line, it indicates a prolonged market depression (from 6 months to 1.5 years).
📍 Key levels and events: Resistance: Zone 61,800–62,000 - this will determine whether the bounce continues.
If BTC doesn’t hold, the next stop is $55,000.
Today’s test: The whole market is waiting for inflation data in the US (PCE). Hot numbers could once again crash risky assets. ━━━━━━━━━━
❗️Advice: Now is not the time for aggressive trading since the market is still experiencing high volatility due to a quarterly options expiration of $10 billion.

Crypto is under pressure from a massive sell-off of tech and AI company stocks.
🔻BTC is below $63,000, losing about 3.5% over the week.
Main Points: 1. Tech "calm" The drop in BTC correlates with the crash on stock markets, especially the Nasdaq index and chip maker stocks. Asian markets also suffered: the South Korean Kospi fell by 6%.
ETH(-3.3%) SOL(-3.4%) DOGE(-6.6%)
2. Bearish crossover The 50-week moving average (SMA) of BTC is approaching a crossover with the 100-week moving average downwards. Although this is called a "bearish crossover," historically, this indicator has often preceded rebounds. ❗️Previously, such crossovers marked a day. After this, a rally usually commenced.
Since these indicators are "lagging," they reflect the already existing price drop (for example, from $126,000 to $60,000) and often signal the end of speculative capitulation.
📌What’s next? 🧐 -$59,000-$60,000 is a key support level. Breaking through it could signal the start of a new phase of decline.
-Institutional demand: The Coinbase premium remains negative, indicating weak interest from institutional investors in the USA.
-The next stress test will be the earnings report from Micron (mid), data on US employment (July 2), and the consumer price index (July 14).
Although the market is concerning, technical indicators hint at the proximity of a bottom. However, much will depend on the stability of the broader economy and actions from major players, such as Strategy.
