Wintermute Analysis: Bitcoin may test the $50,000 zone — the bottom has not yet been reached

Despite the recent bounce of the first cryptocurrency from the $60,000 support level, analysts at market maker Wintermute warn that the bearish scenario for Bitcoin (BTC) is far from over. In my assessment, the current market situation is extremely unstable, and the risks of a renewed decline remain high.

DeFi leverage has soared to 2021 highs: what is the real reason?

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is experiencing a paradoxical moment.

At first glance, this might appear to be a sign of bullish activity, but the reality is far more alarming.
My analysis shows that the current spike is not the result of aggressive debt accumulation by traders...

The market at a crossroads: Wintermute allows for a bitcoin drop to $50,000

Despite the recent bounce of the first cryptocurrency from the $60,000 zone, it is premature to talk about a bottom being reached. Analysts at market maker Wintermute warn: the current attractiveness of the risk/reward ratio near $60,000 does not guarantee that the worst is over. On the contrary, there remains a high probability of a retest and even bitcoin moving into the $50,000 zone.
Two factors behind the bounce and their true nature Last week, BTC interrupted a prolonged series of declines, bouncing from $60,000 back to levels above $65,000...

This week, XRP demonstrated an impressive surge, rising 9.3% and updating its local high at $1.29.

An ambitious forecast also resurfaced, suggesting the coin could soar to $1,000 by 2030.

Analysts warn: Bitcoin could test the $50,000 zone despite the rebound

Despite a recent positive bounce from the $60,000 mark, the Bitcoin (BTC) market has not yet reached its bottom. Leading analysts allow for a scenario of retesting the zone near $50,000. An attractive risk-reward ratio in the long term does not negate short-term risks, and the current bounce is not a trend reversal, but merely a temporary respite.
Last week, BTC broke a four-week losing streak, bouncing from the $60,000 support back to levels above $65,000...

DeFi hacks have triggered a sharp surge in leverage to 2021 levels

The on-chain leverage ratio, reflecting the proportion of borrowed capital to the value of locked assets, has surged to 38%. This brings us back to levels last seen in 2021.
