Cryptocurrencies are gradually recovering at the start of Monday’s session. The weekend did not bring a cascading sell-off after Friday’s pullback, which pushed Bitcoin’s price down to around 87,000 USD. Demand is slowly rebuilding amid positive sentiment on Wall Street and a weaker dollar. Over the past five weeks, Bitcoin ETFs have seen more than 2.7 billion USD in outflows. Last Thursday, 113 million USD left BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), while on Friday the inflows reached just over 50 million USD. It was simultaneously the sixth consecutive week of net negative flows.
Bitcoin (D1, H1)
Bitcoin’s price is rebounding today after significant declines, and the chart is forming increasingly higher lows, which may indicate an attempt to return to an upward trend. The key resistance levels are currently around 93,000 USD and 100,000 USD, where we also find the EMA50 (orange line).
Looking at the much shorter time frame, we may be seeing the early stages of another flag pattern. It is worth noting, however, that unlike the previous two flags, this time the price has managed to rise above the hourly EMA50 for the third time — previously this moving average acted as resistance. If the upward move continues toward 93–94k USD, an accelerated rally toward 100k USD cannot be ruled out. On the other hand, a drop below 90,000 USD would open the door to a bearish scenario, which is the baseline expectation for this type of formation.

Ethereum (D1)
Ethereum is rising above 3,150 USD, but it still trades nearly 50% below its all-time highs from October. The MACD and RSI indicators suggest potential bullish momentum from current levels. A drop below 2,850 USD could pave the way for a deeper decline and a test of 2,600 USD.

On-chain data
On-chain data shows two significant support levels: around 88,000 USD (the average purchase price of BTC by active investors) and 81,000 USD (the average market cost basis of all Bitcoins in circulation).

The so-called Liveliness indicator measures the relationship between Bitcoin spending and long-term holding — it rises when BTC circulate more actively and falls when investors choose to accumulate rather than sell.
- This metric typically increases during bull markets, as more Bitcoins change hands at higher prices, reflecting the inflow of new capital.
- When demand weakens, Liveliness momentum slows and the indicator declines. It can be viewed as a kind of long-term moving average of on-chain activity.
- At present, Liveliness is rising despite lower Bitcoin prices, which suggests a strong, persistent demand for spot BTC that is not yet reflected in price action.
- Although the indicator is not a direct market signal (it usually lags behind price), its momentum remains positive. Large, unknown entities are clearly making moves in the market — even if this is not yet visible in the price itself.
