Bitcoin's 100+ BTC "shark and whale" wallet cohort expanded even as the spot price trended lower over the past three months. Santiment said the address count for this group increased by 753 since Dec. 19, a 3.9% gain, and was up 2,148 addresses (12%) versus March 19, 2025. BTC has also dipped below the $70,000 level after its latest pullback.

Bitcoin's Coinbase Premium Gap has remained above zero for 25 consecutive days, which may indicate renewed buying pressure from U.S.-based institutional activity. The metric compares BTC prices on Coinbase (USD) versus Binance (USDT) and, according to the analyst, this is the longest positive streak since October 2025. BTC also briefly moved above $75,000 earlier in the week before pulling back to around $70,300.

Analyst Ali Martinez has identified a Parallel Channel pattern on Cardano's 4-hour chart, highlighting $0.304 as a critical resistance at the channel's upper boundary. After roughly 45 days of sideways trading, ADA has rebounded from channel support and climbed near $0.290, with potential upside targets at $0.338 and $0.376 if a breakout occurs. Cardano is currently trading around $0.288, marking a gain of more than 8% over the past week.

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has outlined how a reversal in Bitcoin short-term holder profitability could be necessary for a durable price rebound. The firm notes that the share of short-term holder supply in profit has dropped below 50% since a bearish turn in Q4 2025, indicating stress among newer market entrants. Past instances where this metric moved back above 50% coincided with renewed rallies, while Bitcoin is currently attempting to reclaim the $72,000 level after a 3% daily gain.

CryptoQuant's Bitcoin Bull Score Index has climbed to 30, signaling that while bearish conditions remain, they are no longer at their most extreme. The index, based on ten on-chain and market indicators, had previously fallen to zero before partially recovering as exchange flows, stablecoin liquidity growth, and price momentum turned bullish. Bitcoin's price has also bounced back above $70,000 after briefly dropping below $66,000 over the weekend.

According to on-chain analytics shared by Glassnode, the XRP Total Supply in Loss has climbed to 36.8 billion tokens after a broad market downturn, marking one of the highest levels in the current cycle. In USD terms, the value of XRP held at an unrealized loss has reached about $50 billion, while the spot price trades near $1.35, down over 0.5% in the last 24 hours. This spike in underwater supply suggests investors are facing significant paper losses, raising questions about whether the market could be approaching a cyclical bottom.

The Bitcoin Inter-exchange Flow Pulse has also flipped back above its 90-day moving average, hinting at a recovery in derivatives-related activity.

Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds have recently seen their 14-day netflow trend swing back into positive territory, following a stretch of persistent outflows.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $71,000, gaining more than 5% over the past week.
