This downturn not only impacted short-term investors, who recorded losses of 3.78%, but also signaled a bearish sentiment across the market, affecting both retail traders and large-scale investors.

Why memecoins are down today? How Trump’s gala dinner played a part

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, with memecoins being among the worst hit, following a drop in Bitcoin's value. Memecoins saw a 7.5% decrease in market capitalization as Bitcoin declined by 4.5%. This drop in Bitcoin led to a broader deterioration in market sentiment, resulting in substantial losses for the memecoin sector. Specific memecoins such as Pepe, Official Trump, dogwifhat, and Floki faced severe drops in their prices, with declines ranging from 9% to 12.5%. The downturn did not signal a short-term dip but rather a more severe crash as prices continued to fall, altering the overall price trajectory for these currencies.

Bitcoin’s uptrend can target $114K – 2 key factors supporting BTC’s rally

Bitcoin (BTC) has recently hit a new all-time high, surpassing $108,000. However, despite this milestone, its Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio remains well below the peaks of previous market cycles. In past years, such as 2013, 2017, and 2021, the MVRV often rose above 3.5, but the current divergence is attributed to a higher Realized Cap, indicating a greater proportion of coins being held by investors with longer-term confidence and higher cost bases. This shift appears to be the result of a more mature market where seasoned holders are less inclined to engage in the profit-taking seen in prior periods.

Bitcoin's Price Temperature (BPT) 04:00, 24 May 2025

How will a Bitcoin Price Temperature of 2.67 affect BTC’s future?

Over the past month, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a significant price surge of 17.94%, climbing from $83k to $111k. This bullish trend has brought joy to many investors, but it has also led to concerns about the possibility of BTC becoming overheated. CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler has highlighted that Bitcoin's Price Temperature (BPT), a metric used to gauge the heat of the market, has reached 2.67 points, indicating that the digital currency is approaching an overheated zone. Historical data shows that the BPT typically reaches the overheated zone when it hits 3.14 points, implying there's still some headway before the market can be considered fully overheated.

Dissecting Bitcoin’s Wall Street-driven rally: From ETF inflows to macro risks

As Bitcoin reaches new highs, the focus for many investors and analysts has shifted from its current momentum to assessing its potential peak. While many keep a close watch on price trends, the underlying structural narrative suggests that Bitcoin is becoming more geopolitically significant. This has been particularly evident in the United States, where increased inflows into spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) dedicated to Bitcoin and positive signals from the Coinbase Premium Index show Wall Street’s growing involvement in the cryptocurrency.

Trump also put forth the idea of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aiming to preserve the government-obtained Bitcoin rather than sell it, which contrasts with the practices of previous administrations.
