Bitcoin’s weakness versus gold and equities puts quantum computing fears back in focus

Some investors have revived concerns that quantum computing could threaten bitcoin, but analysts and developers say recent price weakness reflects market structure.

What to know:

Bitcoin’s recent price stagnation has sparked a renewed debate over quantum-computing risks, with investor Nic Carter arguing that quantum fears are already shaping market behavior.

On-chain analysts and prominent investors counter that the slowdown is better explained by large holders taking profits and increased supply hitting the market around the $100,000 level.

Most bitcoin developers still view quantum attacks as a distant, manageable threat, noting that proposed upgrades like BIP-360 provide a path to quantum-resistant security and are unlikely to explain short-term price moves.$BTC #FOMCWatch

After a brief slowdown in its pace of bitcoin acquisition, Strategy has purchased almost $3.5 billion of BTC over the last two weeks.

Bitcoin hoarder Strategy buys $2.13 billion in bitcoin in eight days

Billionaire Michael Saylor's bitcoin-focused firm Strategy (MSTR) said on Tuesday it bought about $2.13 billion worth of bitcoin over the past eight days, stepping up purchases even as its ‌stock has been pressured by cryptocurrency volatility.

The company acquired roughly ​22,305 bitcoin between the period of January 12 and January 19, according to a regulatory filing.
Earlier this ​month, Strategy reported an unrealized loss of $17.44 billion on its digital assets in the fourth quarter, reflecting a drop in the value of its bitcoin holdings in the ‍quarter, a paper hit that has weighed on investor sentiment alongside sharp crypto-market swings.$BTC #Binanceholdermmt

Bitcoin returns fail to match risks, just like 2022

The metric highlights weak risk-adjusted performance during periods of volatility, a feature of drawdowns that can persist for months.

What to know:

Bitcoin’s Sharpe ratio has fallen deeply into negative territory, reaching levels last seen during major drawdowns in 2018–2019 and after the 2022 market collapse.

A negative Sharpe ratio signals poor risk-adjusted performance, with high volatility and weak or negative returns that can persist even after prices stop falling sharply.

Historically, meaningful trend shifts in bitcoin have aligned more with a sustained recovery of the Sharpe ratio back into positive territory than with its initial drop below zero, even as bitcoin now trades just above $90,000 amid volatile, underperforming markets.

Dogecoin falls 2% as liquidation pressure hits meme coins

Trading remains a sell-the-rally environment, with resistance entrenched around $0.126 to $0.127 and only tentative, short-lived bounces emerging on intraday.

What traders should know

This is still a sell-the-rally tape, but downside momentum is starting to slow.

As long as DOGE stays below $0.126–$0.127, rallies are likely to be sold.

Holding $0.124–$0.123 keeps the door open for sideways consolidation and base-building.

A clean break below $0.123 puts $0.12 and $0.115 back in focus as next downside levels.

To shift the tone meaningfully, DOGE needs to reclaim $0.126+ and hold it — something it hasn’t managed since the breakdown.

XRP klesá na $1.93 navzdory raným známkám technického zotavení

Odstoupení přichází, když XRP pokračuje v obchodování bez nového hlavního katalyzátoru, což způsobuje, že pohyb cen je převážně řízen pozicováním a technickými úrovněmi.

Co by obchodníci měli vědět

Toto je trh, který je mezi ranými signály stabilizace a jasnou nabídkou nad hlavou.

Pokud $1.90 nadále vydrží, divergencie RSI zvyšuje šance na krátkodobý odraz zpět směrem k $1.97–$2.00. Čisté proražení a uzavření nad touto zónou by bylo prvním signálem, že prodejci ztrácejí kontrolu.

Pokud $1.90 ustoupí, struktura se rychle oslabí, což otevře dveře k hlubšímu poklesu směrem k dalšímu oblasti poptávky kolem $1.78–$1.80.

Prozatím XRP zůstává v konsolidaci, přičemž obchodníci považují rallye za prodejní příležitosti a poklesy za taktická nákupy — nastavení, které bude přetrvávat, dokud cena rozhodně neprorazí z tohoto rozsahu.$XRP #Binanceholdermmt

Bitcoin in a deep bear market against gold, history suggests downside may persist

Bitcoin is now down 55% against gold from its December 2024 peak.

The BTC to gold ratio sits near 18.46, around 17% below its 200 week moving average.

Bitcoin is down roughly 55% against gold from its December 2024 peak, while past bear markets saw drawdowns of 77% in 2022 and 84% in 2018.

Bitcoin’s positioning relative to gold continues to deteriorate, challenging the long held narrative of bitcoin as digital gold.

While gold pushes to fresh record highs just below $4,900 an ounce and is up roughly 12% year to date, bitcoin is only marginally positive on the year and remains below $89,000.

BlackRock names crypto and tokenization as ‘themes driving markets’ in 2026

The $10 trillion asset manager includes bitcoin, ether and stablecoins in its 2026 outlook, spotlighting blockchain as a rising force in modern finance.

BlackRock highlighted crypto and tokenization as emerging trends shaping how investors access markets in 2026.

The firm named bitcoin, ether and stablecoins as part of the thematic landscape, and said its iShares Bitcoin Trust is the fastest-growing exchange-traded product in history.

The Ethereum blockchain is a potential beneficiary of tokenization, the investment manager said in it 2026 Thematic Outlook.

For crypto investors, BlackRock's message reinforces the idea that blockchain-based technologies are moving closer to the mainstream. While bitcoin’s price volatility and crypto’s regulatory challenges aren’t addressed directly, the report’s language makes clear that the firm sees real potential in the digital asset space, particularly in terms of how it may modernize financial infrastructure.$BTC $ETH #TrumpTariffsOnEurope

New research projects U.S. inflation resurgence, challenging Bitcoin bulls' disinflation bets

Inflation in the United States could climb above 4% this year, according to a new analysis by Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute and Peter R. Orszag of Lazard

The researchers say Trump-era tariffs, tighter labor markets, possible migrant deportations, large fiscal deficits and easier financial conditions could outweigh productivity gains from AI and falling housing inflation, pushing prices higher.

Higher inflation could keep the Fed from lowering borrowing costs as aggressively as markets and crypto investors expect.

A leading economics institute has warned that the costs of everyday stuff in the U.S. could rise faster this year. This clashes with bitcoin BTC$90,121.48 bulls' hopes for slower price growth and lower borrowing costs, which could spark a crypto boom.

Consumer prices in the U.S., a key measure of cost of living, could surprise to the upside this year, potentially topping 4%, Peterson Institute for International Economics' President Adam Posen and Peter R. Orszag, CEO and chairman of global financial advisory and asset management firm Lazard, said in their latest research note.

Bitcoin and ether fall, then rebound as Trump retreats from Greenland tariffs
The sharp reversal showed how closely crypto prices remain tethered to macro headlines. Solana, XRP, Cardano and dogecoin followed a similar pattern of quick losses and partial recoveries

What to know:

Bitcoin plunged below $88,000 before rebounding toward $90,000 in Asian trading after former President Donald Trump softened tariff threats tied to Greenland during his Davos appearance.

The sharp reversal showed how closely crypto prices remain tethered to macro headlines, with shifting trade rhetoric, bond yields and risk sentiment driving rapid swings.

Major tokens including Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano and dogecoin followed a similar pattern of quick losses and partial recoveries, signaling stabilization rather than a renewed risk-on rally.
Bitcoin bounced alongside that stabilization, recovering to near $90,000 and erasing most of the overnight drop.

The episode is indicative of how closely crypto remains tied to macro headlines during periods of uncertainty.

While bitcoin is often marketed as an alternative asset, it still trades like a high-risk position when investors rush to protect capital. Sudden shifts in trade policy, bond yields and global liquidity tend to spill directly into digital assets — especially when positioning is crowded.

Price action across major tokens reflected that same pattern. Ethereum dipped below $3,000 during the selloff before climbing back above $3,020, trimming its daily loss. Solana rebounded to around $130 after sliding earlier in the session, while XRP traded back near $1.95. Cardano rose toward $0.37 after touching weekly lows, and dogecoin clawed back some losses near $0.127. Across the board, gains were modest, pointing to stabilization rather than a renewed risk-on push.

Výkyvy Bitcoinu spouštějí vzácnou likvidaci krátkých pozic, protože dlouhé i krátké pozice byly zasaženy

Téměř rovnoměrné ztráty napříč dlouhými a krátkými pozicemi ukázaly, že obchodníci byli překvapeni, když se ceny kryptoměn během několika hodin prudce hýbaly.

Co vědět:

Více než 625 milionů dolarů v pákových kryptoměnových pozicích bylo likvidováno v posledních 24 hodinách, přičemž ztráty byly přibližně rovnoměrně rozděleny mezi dlouhé a krátké pozice napříč přibližně 150 000 obchodníky.

Hyperliquid zaznamenal největší jednotlivou likvidaci – pozici ETH-USD v hodnotě 40,22 milionu dolarů – a největší celkový zásah přibližně 220,8 milionu dolarů, převážně z krátkých pozic, které byly chyceny cenovým oživením.

Vlna likvidací následovala po ostrých intradenních výkyvech v bitcoinu, které byly způsobeny makro nejistotou kolem obchodní politiky USA, volatilitou na trhu s dluhopisy a očekáváními spojenými s vystoupením prezidenta Donalda Trumpa na Světovém ekonomickém fóru v Davosu, což zdůrazňuje rizika agresivní pákové obchodování na neklidných trzích.

Jak se obchodníci dívají dopředu, pozornost zůstane na tom, zda se volatilita uklidní, nebo bude pokračovat. Dokud se neobjeví jasnější směr, poslední vlna likvidací naznačuje, že opatrnost, spíše než agresivní páka, může být chytřejší obchod.$BTC #TrumpTariffsOnEurope

Bitcoin has a 30% chance of falling below $80,000 by late June, options data suggests

Data from decentralized trading venues points to potential for a deeper price crash in coming months.

Bitcoin began 2026 by briefly topping $95,000, but options traders are pricing in a roughly 30 percent chance it will fall below $80,000 by late June.

Activity on decentralized platform Derive.xyz shows pronounced downside skew, with heavy open interest in put options between $75,000 and $80,000 signaling expectations of a pullback into the mid-$70,000s.

Renewed geopolitical tensions, including President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats on European imports tied to his disputed plan to take over Greenland, pose risks to bitcoin's price.

Options markets show a clear downside skew, with a 30% chance BTC falls below $80K by June 26, compared to a 19% chance it rallies above $120K over the same period," Sean Dawson, the protocol's head of research, told CoinDesk.

Options are derivative contracts that let you bet on bitcoin's price like a side wager at a sports game. Here's how it works: You pay a small fee to lock in a "what if" deal. If BTC jumps above a certain predetermined price level, you win big by buying cheap. That's a call option.

XRP pattern echoes Feb. 2022, putting recent buyers under pressure

XRP’s holder mix is starting to look like early 2022, with fresh demand coming in below the cost basis of longer-term wallets, Glassnode said.

Glassnode said the current market structure shows investors active over the past one week to one month accumulating XRP at prices below the cost basis of holders who bought six to twelve months ago.

That gap matters because it places newer buyers in profit while leaving older holders sitting on losses, a dynamic that can build selling pressure over time if prices fail to move higher.
A similar pattern emerged in February 2022, when XRP was trading near $0.78 before entering a prolonged decline that eventually pushed prices toward $0.30 by mid-year.

As such, the pattern does not guarantee a repeat of 2022’s drawdown, but the longer this cost-basis split persists, the more strain it puts on investors who bought near recent highs.

For now, XRP remains caught between fresh demand from short-term buyers and lingering overhead supply from longer-term holders still looking for an exit.

Trump's Davos speech likely to set the tone as bitcoin holds under $90,000: Crypto Daybook Americas

The stabilization coincided with easing pressure in global bond markets. Japanese government bonds rebounded after a sharp selloff earlier in the week, with yields on ultra-long debt falling after officials called for calm. The move helped provide a cushion for riskier assets.

CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index has dropped about 2% in the past 24 hours, reflecting the selloff in cryptocurrencies and related equities during U.S. hours on Tuesday. Major crypto stocks are showing declines of less than 1% in pre-market trading after falling 5%-7% yesterday. U.S. equity index futures are down slightly.

To Novogratz bitcoin's performance is “disappointing as it is still being met with selling.” Analysts at QCP Capital pointed out in a note that BTC’s momentum “struggled to re-establish itself” with markets losing their appetite for risk.

“Rather than behaving as a hedge, BTC is trading like a high-beta risk asset, highly sensitive to rates, geopolitics, and cross-market volatility,” the analysts wrote. “Until clearer policy signals emerge, crypto is likely to stay reactive rather than directional."

Pokles Bitcoinu na 89 000 $ vedl k likvidacím v hodnotě 1 miliardy $ pro býčí sázky BTC
