Whales accumulate, the market buzzes: what is happening with BTC On-chain: • The number of wallets with 100+ BTC has increased by +753 (+3.9%) over 3 months → meanwhile, the price has fallen by -20% 👉 This is a classic bullish divergence: large players are buying on the dip • BTC-ETFs are showing record volumes → up to $31.6 billion per day → all top volumes have occurred in the last weeks 👉 The market has become maximally active and polarized What is happening under the hood: • After the fall, liquidity sharply increased (panic and redistribution) • Now liquidity is decreasing while the price is rising 👉 This is important: The rise is not based on strong demand, but on weakening sellers • Additionally: Large deposits on exchanges have increased with prices above $73k → this is a signal of possible pressure during the rise The market is currently in a transitional phase: Whales are accumulating, but demand is still weak. 📌 Without liquidity inflow, the rise may be temporary 📌 But such divergences often form near the bottom
🚨 Powell: inflation remains a problem, the market expects a difficult period
Important signals regarding the economy and the rate.
• The US economy is still growing, consumption remains stable • The labor market is stable, but job growth is slowing down • Inflation has been above normal (≈2.8–3.0%) for a long time
👉 Main takeaway: The Fed is not confident that inflation has been defeated
What is currently hindering rate cuts:
• Rising energy prices (oil, gasoline) → pressure on inflation • Geopolitics (Middle East) → high uncertainty • Weak progress in reducing inflation for goods and services
Powell said directly: if there is no progress on inflation — there will be no rate cuts
What this means for the market:
• The Fed is trying to balance: → not to "strangle" the economy → but also not to let inflation take hold
• Possible scenario: → a long period of high rates + volatile market
The market is currently in a phase of uncertainty: inflation is still not under control, but the economy is holding up.
For crypto and stocks, this means: movements will depend not on news, but on actual inflation reduction.
The Federal Reserve: rate unchanged, but the signal is tough
The Federal Reserve kept the rate at 3.75% — the decision matched market expectations.
• One of the Fed members voted for a decrease of 25 b.p. • The regulator continues QE (bond purchases) • The economy remains stable, but inflation is still above the target • Uncertainty remains high (including due to geopolitics)
• GDP: upward revision (growth continues) • PCE inflation: ~2.7% in 2026, return to 2% only by 2028 • Rate: the market now expects fewer cuts → in 2026, only 1 step of –25 b.p. is possible
The Fed makes it clear: softening will be slow and limited.
For the markets, this is a neutral-negative signal: liquidity is in no hurry to return → pressure on risk assets may persist.
🔥 US regulators clarified the status of crypto: LINK is not a security
The SEC and CFTC issued a joint guidance where the LINK token is officially categorized as a digital commodity rather than a security.
• Digital commodities now include tokens whose price is determined by demand and network activity, not by promises from the team • Also outside the category of securities: NFTs, utility tokens, and stablecoins • Tokenized financial instruments still fall under securities regulation
Even if the token itself is not a security, it can temporarily acquire this status if sold with a promise of profit from the team's actions.$LINK
This is a step towards clearer market regulation. For crypto, this is a positive signal: uncertainty decreases, but regulatory oversight remains in place.
📊 BTC: first signals of a reversal or a trap? The market is at an interesting point: • The average entry price for short-term holders is approximately $85,000 → at the current price (~$73,000), they are on average at a –14% loss — this is a source of pressure when rising • Just 2 weeks ago, BTC was below its fair value → now the price has returned above, which formally breaks the bearish structure • An important signal — the rise of spot CVD → for the first time in a long time, buyers have started to absorb sales, particularly on several exchanges • At the same time, the market structure is strong: → 60% of the supply is with long-term holders → about 14% is already with ETFs, funds, and governments The market is starting to show signs of stabilization and accumulation, but confirmation is still lacking. The key right now is maintaining demand. Without it, this could be a temporary bounce rather than a reversal.
🚨 Alarm signal from Wall Street: restrictions on withdrawals In Q1 2026, several major players — BlackRock, Blackstone, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley — restricted or partially blocked withdrawals from private credit funds. This is not a rumor — the data is confirmed by official documents. Funds invest in long-term loans that cannot be quickly sold without losses. As withdrawal requests increase, a classic liquidity problem arises. A similar situation occurred in 2007 — at that time, withdrawal restrictions appeared in mortgage funds before the systemic crisis. While this is not a crisis, it is an important signal: pressure in the private credit segment is rising. If capital outflows intensify, there could be cascading effects for the financial market and an increase in volatility across all risk assets, including crypto.

🚨 Liquidity issues in the private lending market Several large asset managers have begun to restrict withdrawals from credit funds. • In the Cliffwater Corporate Lending Fund ($33 billion), investors requested to withdraw 14% of the assets, but only 7% is allowed — this is the maximum limit. • In the North Haven Private Income Fund from Morgan Stanley (~$8 billion), requests also exceeded the limit — investors received back less than half of the requested funds. Reason: the funds invest in long-term corporate loans, which cannot be quickly sold without losses. The pressure is increasing due to the reassessment of the value of some loans, especially in the software sector, where companies may face competition from AI. Additionally: • JPMorgan has already begun to limit lending to such funds • Deutsche Bank reported that its direct lending portfolio has grown to $30 billion The private lending market (~$1.8 trillion) is starting to face a liquidity problem. If the capital outflow continues, funds will have to sell or write off loans, which could increase the risks of defaults and pressure on the financial system. Perhaps you are preparing for an alt season to buy on the highs and the money ran to take it away😄 #ALTCOİNS $ETH $BNB
📉 The supply of ETH on exchanges is at an all-time low.
The amount of Ethereum on centralized exchanges continues to decrease. Currently, around 12% of the total ETH supply is on trading platforms — this is the lowest level in the entire history of observations.
An additional signal is the activity of large players. One of the major wallets recently withdrew about $93 million in ETH from the Kraken exchange and distributed the funds to two new addresses.
At the same time, the number of Ethereum holders is also increasing: over the past few years, the number of non-empty wallets has been growing faster than many other large crypto assets.
The decrease in supply on exchanges and the increase in the number of holders may indicate accumulation of the asset and reduced selling pressure. This is a factor that could support the price in the long term. #Ethereum $ETH
