Crypto Market Pulse: Whale Moves, ICO Watch and What the Charts Are Saying Right Now

Cryptonews — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 20:03:27 +0000

The crypto market is going through one of its more nervous stretches of 2026, and if you have been watching your portfolio bounce around the last few weeks, you are not imagining it. Bitcoin slipped under the 60,000 dollar mark this week, touching its lowest levels in roughly two years, while Ethereum dropped along with it into the 1,500 to 1,600 dollar range. But under the surface, on chain data is telling a more interesting story than the price chart alone, and there is a fresh batch of ICOs and token launches worth knowing about too.
Where Bitcoin and Ethereum Stand Today
Bitcoin opened Thursday near 61,000 dollars and slid further to around 59,300 dollars by midday, a level not seen since 2024. Ethereum followed the same path, dropping from about 1,620 dollars down toward 1,560 dollars in the same session. Analysts are pointing to a mix of factors behind the slide: persistent ETF outflows, uncertainty around the CLARITY Act timeline in the US, and a broader rotation of investor money out of crypto and into AI stocks.
It is worth remembering the scale here. Bitcoin's all time high sits at 126,198 dollars from October 2025, so the current price represents a serious pullback from the top, not just a minor dip. One CNBC commentator summed up the mood well this week, noting that this bear market feels calmer than past ones simply because the investor base today is larger, more liquid, and less dominated by retail traders who panic sell at the first red candle.
What Whale Wallets Are Actually Doing
This is where things get more nuanced than the headlines suggest. On chain trackers like Whale Alert have been logging a steady stream of large Bitcoin transfers this week, including multiple movements in the range of 800 to 2,800 BTC between exchanges like Coinbase Institutional and Kraken. Individually these look alarming, but most large transfers are not directional bets at all. A big share of what gets flagged as whale activity in 2026 is actually ETF custody flow, meaning transfers between Coinbase Custody, BitGo, and Fidelity's institutional arm tied to ETF share creation and redemption, not a whale dumping coins on the open market.
That said, there are genuine signals worth tracking. Earlier this month, on chain analytics firm Santiment recorded over 10,000 Bitcoin transactions above 100,000 dollars in a single day, the highest count in six weeks at the time, which analysts read as a sign of renewed accumulation. More recently, VanEck's onchain research desk flagged that the realized profit to loss ratio has dropped below 1.0, a level historically associated with capitulation phases rather than ordinary profit taking, alongside a steep decline in the share of Bitcoin supply currently sitting in profit. In plain terms, more coins are underwater right now than at almost any point in the last four years, which is exactly the kind of environment where patient whales tend to start quietly accumulating rather than selling.
If you want to follow this yourself without paying for premium tools, the three free resources experienced on chain analysts lean on are Whale Alert for raw transaction feeds, the Lookonchain account on X for curated and contextualized big moves, and Arkham for trying to identify who actually controls a flagged wallet. The golden rule professionals use: a single large transfer almost never tells the full story, so treat any one alert as a clue to investigate, not a signal to trade on immediately.
ICO and Token Launch Radar for This Week
The ICO and token sale calendar has stayed busy even with the broader market cooling off. A few names showing up across launch trackers this week include Bitcoin Hyper, a Layer 2 scaling project for Bitcoin built using SVM rollups aimed at making BTC transactions faster and cheaper, and several DeFi and infrastructure projects running token generation events through launchpads like Legion and Sonar. Token generation events scheduled this week include a stablecoin yield aggregator project closing out a 13.7 million dollar raise, alongside several smaller infrastructure and gaming token launches in the 2 to 10 million dollar range.
If you are evaluating any new ICO, the basic due diligence checklist has not changed: confirm there is a published smart contract audit from a recognized firm, verify the team is identifiable and not anonymous without explanation, read the actual tokenomics rather than the marketing summary, and never send funds to a contract you have not verified on a block explorer. The vast majority of ICO and presale projects do not survive long term, so position sizing matters more than which project you pick.
Quick Take for Traders and Builders
Put together, the picture right now is a market that is technically oversold on several onchain metrics, with real whale accumulation signals mixed in among a lot of operational noise, sitting alongside a token launch calendar that has not slowed down despite the price weakness. None of this is financial advice, and crypto remains a high risk, highly volatile asset class, but for anyone tracking the space closely, the gap between what the price chart shows and what onchain data shows has rarely been this wide.

How I Use an AI Tool to Analyze Bitcoin Before Making Any Move

Cryptonews — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:23:11 +0000

I want to share something I have been using for a while now when it comes to analyzing crypto before putting any money in.

Most people in crypto either go fully off vibes and Twitter, or they try to learn technical analysis which honestly takes months to get decent at. I was somewhere in the middle. I knew what RSI and MACD were but I was not confident reading them together in real time.

Then I came across a tool called CryptoNewsTrend at cryptonewstrend.com and it changed how I approach every trade I consider.

This is not a sponsored post. I just think it is genuinely useful and not enough people know about it.

What the tool actually does

The basic idea is simple. You type in a coin name, hit enter, and it gives you a Buy, Sell, or Neutral signal with a confidence score out of 100.

But what makes it different from the hundred other signal tools out there is how it arrives at that signal. It is not just one indicator. It runs four separate analysis layers and combines them.

The first layer is FinBERT AI. This is a version of the BERT language model that has been trained on financial news text. It reads current news about the coin and tells you whether the sentiment is bullish or bearish. This is actually useful because crypto markets react to news and narrative before they react to price action. Having an AI read that for you in real time is something I could not do manually.

The second layer is RSI which most of you probably know. Below 30 means oversold, above 70 means overbought, in between is neutral territory.

The third layer is MACD which tracks whether momentum is building or fading.

The fourth layer is volume. This one is underrated. A buy signal that is not backed by real volume is a weak signal. The tool specifically flags low volume situations with a warning so you do not get overconfident.

All four layers feed into one score. The higher the score, the stronger the signal.

What I actually saw when I analyzed Bitcoin

When I ran the analysis on Bitcoin at around 76,000 dollars, here is what came back.

The overall signal was Buy with a score of 75 out of 100. FinBERT AI returned positive sentiment. MACD was showing a bullish crossover. RSI was sitting at 56.9 which is neutral, meaning there is still room to move up before hitting overbought territory.

The one flag was volume. The tool showed volume at 5.31 percent of market cap and labeled it low. This was shown as a warning right in the analysis breakdown. I appreciated that. A tool that only shows you the green lights and hides the yellow ones is not a tool you can trust.

So the picture was three out of four indicators pointing bullish with one active caution flag. That is useful information. It does not tell you what to do but it tells you where things stand.

The price levels feature

Beyond the signal itself, what I find most useful is the price levels section.

Based on the entry price it gives you three upside targets, a resistance level, a support level, and a stop loss level.

For Bitcoin at 76,149 dollars the targets were 85,286 at plus 12 percent, then 97,470 at plus 28 percent, and 114,223 at plus 50 percent. The stop loss was set at 67,011 which is minus 12 percent from entry.

Having a pre-calculated stop loss removes one of the biggest problems most retail traders have which is not knowing when to exit a losing trade. When you enter a position already knowing at what price you are wrong, the emotional decision-making mostly disappears.

The market data section

The tool also shows broader context that I check every time. At the time of my analysis Bitcoin had a market cap of 1.53 trillion dollars, a 24 hour volume of about 81 billion, and was sitting around 39 percent below its all time high of 126,080 dollars.

That last number is something I think about a lot. Being nearly 40 percent off the all time high while multiple technical indicators are turning bullish is a meaningful setup, at least in terms of historical context.

Which coins are supported

Right now CryptoNewsTrend supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Chainlink, and TON. For most people analyzing the major coins this covers everything you need.

My honest take

I do not use this as the only thing I look at before a trade. I still check the broader market, Bitcoin dominance, and what is happening with interest rates and macro. But CryptoNewsTrend has become a consistent part of my process because it saves time and removes some of the guesswork.

If you are someone who understands the basics of crypto but wants a structured way to read signals without spending years learning technical analysis, this tool is worth trying.

It is free, it requires no signup, and it takes about 30 seconds to run an analysis.
