As selling pressure deepens in the cryptocurrency market, 10X Research stated that hedging transactions in the options market are behind the decline in Bitcoin.

According to the company’s assessment, transactions carried out by institutional investors, particularly those aimed at protecting their portfolios, created downward pressure on the price.

According to the research firm, Bitcoin may see a limited recovery or sideways movement in the short term. However, this movement may not indicate a permanent trend reversal. Markus Thielen, Head of Research at 10X Research, predicts that Bitcoin could bottom out again during the summer months, potentially falling to $50,000 or even the $40,000-$50,000 range. Thielen stated that a “counter-trend rally” is possible in the short term, but a new low is likely to be tested during the summer.

The sell-off in Bitcoin is mirroring the decline in US technology stocks. Bitcoin, which has a high correlation with risky assets, is losing value, particularly in light of weakness in Nasdaq and technology-focused stocks. On the other hand, sharp fluctuations in traditional assets like gold and silver are also increasing uncertainty in global markets, putting pressure on the crypto market.

Forced liquidations are also among the significant factors accelerating the decline. According to Coinglass data, over $2 billion in long and short positions were liquidated in the crypto market on Thursday. On Friday, this figure was around $800 million. The unwinding of leveraged trades further increased selling pressure.

Weakening is also noticeable on the institutional side. According to CryptoQuant data, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, which made net purchases of approximately 46,000 BTC in the same period last year, have become net sellers in 2026. Thielen stated, “Institutional investors are really starting to unwind their crypto positions.”

Bitcoin is currently trading more than 40% below its all-time high. Losses are even deeper in other major crypto assets. Ethereum and XRP have lost more than 60% of their record highs, while Solana’s decline has exceeded 70%.

Market analysts note that Bitcoin’s drop below $70,000 raises additional downside risks from a technical perspective. 10X Research warns that after a possible short-term recovery, even lower levels could be seen during the summer months.

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

The post New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stephen Miran, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and US Federal Reserve governor nominee for US President Donald Trump, arrives for a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. The Senate Banking Committee’s examination of Stephen Miran’s appointment will provide the first extended look at how prominent Republican senators balance their long-standing support of an independent central bank against loyalty to their party leader. Photographer: Daniel Heuer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Daniel Heuer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Newly-confirmed Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran dissented from the central bank’s decision to lower the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, choosing instead to call for a half-point cut. Miran, who was confirmed by the Senate to the Fed Board of Governors on Monday, was the sole dissenter in the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who had dissented at the Fed’s prior meeting in favor of a quarter-point move, were aligned with Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the others besides Miran this time. Miran was selected by Trump back in August to fill the seat that was vacated by former Governor Adriana Kugler after she suddenly announced her resignation without stating a reason for doing so. He has said that he will take an unpaid leave of absence as chair of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors rather than fully resign from the position. Miran’s place on the board, which will last until Jan. 31, 2026 when Kugler’s term was due to end, has been viewed by critics as a threat from Trump to the Fed’s independence, as the president has nominated three of the seven members. Trump also said in August that he had fired Federal Reserve Board Governor…
