Buyers Are Back. For How Long?

Bitcoin Is Waking Up.. But Don’t Get Too Excited

Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! Bitcoin is finally showing signs of life after weeks of choppy trading. but the macro picture says: not so fast.

Bitcoin regains momentum

The short-term chart has improved a lot.

Bullish momentum is building on the lower timeframes, a sign that sellers are starting to lose their grip after the recent correction. The long-term trend hasn’t flipped bullish yet, but this setup raises the odds of a relief rally if buyers can hold the line.

$70K stays the key target for a relief rally

One headwind today came from Strategy.

• The company sold 3,588 BTC for approximately $216 million, using the proceeds to fund preferred stock distributions and replenish its USD reserves.

Bitcoin initially reacted negatively to the news, as traders worry this could signal more incremental BTC sales ahead. A larger one-time sale of around $12 billion would have given Strategy a much bigger cash buffer to cover future STRC dividend payments, potentially reducing the need for repeated selling pressure.

Macro however is still the biggest risk..

Outside of crypto, AI and semiconductor stocks are losing steam after months of leading the market higher.

That kind of exhaustion often triggers rotation into other sectors. It doesn’t guarantee Bitcoin drops too, but crypto has a track record of struggling whenever risk appetite cools off.

A stronger dollar or fresh weakness in equities would be bad news for crypto.

What we’re watching

Macro, not crypto headlines, will likely drive the next big move.

Our base case: a choppy week with a shot at $70K, followed by one more leg down later this year before the real bull run kicks in.

Momentum is improving. But the bigger picture still says patience.

Ethereum’s Biggest Upgrade Since the Merge Is Coming

Ethereum is preparing for another major transformation.

Co-founder Vitalik Buterin says the network’s new “Lean Ethereum” roadmap will take three to four years to complete and will be comparable in scale to The Merge, with nearly every major part of Ethereum’s infrastructure being upgraded.

The goal is simple: make Ethereum faster, cheaper, more private, and ready for the next decade.

Some of the biggest planned improvements include:

• A redesigned data storage system that could reduce fees for many tokens and applications by more than 10x.

• Quantum-resistant cryptography to protect Ethereum from future advances in quantum computing.

• Privacy becoming a core feature instead of an optional add-on.

• A new execution engine designed to improve efficiency while remaining compatible with existing applications.

Importantly, Buterin says developers won’t need to rebuild their apps from scratch. Like The Merge, the transition is expected to happen gradually while maintaining compatibility with today’s Ethereum ecosystem.

The roadmap also suggests that Hegota, Ethereum’s next major upgrade expected later this year, will likely be the final upgrade before the Lean Ethereum transition begins.

The bigger picture is that Ethereum isn’t standing still!

Benjamin Cowen Bitcoin: The Four Year Cycle Strikes Again (06.07.2026 Summary)

Benjamin Cowen breaks down why everything that has happened this year continues to track 2018 almost perfectly, and why the critics who mocked the four year cycle are now running out of arguments.

Key Points

• February low, higher low in late March, lower high in May at the 200 day moving average, sweep of the February low in June at exactly 57,000, Bitcoin in 2026 has matched 2018 move for move, just at 10x the price

• July historically offers a brief window of strength in midterm years, likely a counter trend rally back toward the 200 day moving average before giving it all back in August and September

• The reason this cycle feels worse than 2018 is not because it is worse, it is because there was no euphoric top or altcoin rotation, Bitcoin topped on apathy at 126K instead of euphoria at 200K

• October is the most likely month for the final market cycle bottom since the top was in October and bear markets historically last about one year

Takeaway
The four year cycle keeps playing out because nobody has found a reason compelling enough to break it. Defer to it until it proves you wrong, and so far it has not come close to doing that.

CoinBureau Why Ethereum Keeps Losing Its Best Builders (06.07.2026 Summary)

Coin Bureau’s DC traces why the same pattern keeps repeating inside Ethereum, where its best people leave, build something new, and the industry fragments a little more each time.

Key Points

• The pattern started in 2014 when governance and creative control clashes pushed Hoskinson and Wood out to build Cardano & Polkadot, both felt Ethereum was too slow, too centralized, and too political to fix from the inside

• Crypto’s incentive structure made leaving rational, you could raise VC money, launch your own token, control your own roadmap, and capture all the upside yourself rather than contributing to someone else’s network

• That template got copied for a decade, wave after wave of talented developers left to build competing chains, fragmenting the same limited pool of smart contract talent across hundreds of projects

• Now the bleeding has accelerated beyond rival chains, with weekly crypto code commits down 75% and active developers falling 56% as builders rotate into AI where the funding and opportunity is simply bigger

• Even the Ethereum Foundation just lost nine senior figures and cut 20% of staff, proving the pattern has finally caught up with the chain that won

Takeaway
Ethereum keeps losing its best builders because the incentives to leave have always been stronger than the incentives to stay. Until that changes, the pattern keeps repeating.
