Another day, another crypto market price drop, and another $900+ million in liquidations in the derivatives market. Unlike the previous weekend’s mass liquidations, ZCash [$ZEC] bulls were unable to shrug this hit off.
The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), weakened and fell to the $75,000 level, in contrast to the upward trend in global stock markets. Major altcoins such as XRP, Ethereum ($ETH), and Solana ($SOL) also declined during the same period.
In recent weeks, Bitcoin surpassed the $82,000 mark, triggering strong excitement around a potential bull market. Some analysts argue that this rally is still in the early stages of a bullish cycle.
Although Bitcoin recently climbed above the $82,000 level, the asset failed to establish itself above its 200-day moving average. This has once again fuelled debate over whether the market has truly reached the bottom of the current cycle.
The price of Bitcoin has returned for the third time since October to the average purchase price of short-term whales — the $79,000–80,000 range. This was reported by on-chain analyst MorenoDV.
According to CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV_, the Bitcoin bull-bear market cycle indicator has entered the “early bull” zone for the first time since March 2023. The shift comes as the asset trades near a major resistance area after rebounding from its late-March support zone.
CryptoQuant, a cryptocurrency analytics company, analyzed Bitcoin’s recent price increase, highlighting the fundamental factors behind the current market movement. According to the company’s latest analysis, one of the most significant factors behind Bitcoin’s rise to $81,000 was the aggressive liquidation of short positions.
As Bitcoin rises above the $80,000 level, an important analytical signal has emerged in the crypto market. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez issued warnings regarding market liquidity despite the recent price surge.
Recent Bitcoin price action shows the market at a critical decision point as bullish momentum slows near a major resistance ceiling. While the broader structure still favors buyers, recent data suggests a shift toward caution. Traders are now watching whether Bitcoin can sustain its uptrend or enter a deeper consolidation phase after weeks of strong gains.
In April 2026, U.S. equities gained $7 trillion in value, while the S&P 500 rose 11.51% and the Nasdaq advanced 15.48%, marking the strongest monthly performance since 2020 despite continued instability in the Middle East. Such elevated risk appetite in equity markets often supports higher‑beta assets, including $BTC.
Ali Martinez, a widely recognized cryptocurrency analyst, has published a new technical assessment of Bitcoin that is attracting considerable attention. According to Martinez, the probability of a short‑term market correction is increasing.
The cryptocurrency analytics platform CryptoQuant stated that despite the recent recovery in Bitcoin’s price, there are still no clear signs of improvement in the market’s fundamental dynamics.
Crypto analyst Caleb Franzen shared a comprehensive assessment of Bitcoin’s recent price movements. According to Franzen, although the current attempt at a bullish trend differs in some aspects from the failed breakout attempts in January 2026, it is still too early to say that a new bull market has begun.
Bitcoin ($BTC) is showing optimistic prospects amid news of an indefinite ceasefire in the Iranian war between the United States and Iran. This has strengthened bullish forecasts, and although $BTC technical indicators are improving, short-term uncertainty still remains, according to the analytical company.
According to CoinGecko, over the past 24 hours the price of $ZEC increased by 9.4%, by 3.4% over the past week, by 45.4% over the past month, and by 948.4% since April 2025. This rise of Zcash ($ZEC) occurred after the long-awaited listing on Robinhood.
The Bitcoin bullish sentiment index has entered the neutral zone for the first time since October 2025 — amid a price increase to $78,000. However, analysts point to similarities between the current situation and the dynamics of the 2022 bear market.
