AI data center spending is eclipsing crypto’s hoped-for supercycle as Bitcoin miners shift capital toward high-performance computing infrastructure.

Bitcoin's price has recently declined significantly, sparking debate about whether it's a correction or a more serious crash. Analysis from CryptoQuant reveals a 46% drop from its peak, currently trading around $67,900 after months of losses. The Fear & Greed Index is in extreme fear territory, and net realized losses have reached levels seen in the 2022 slump. Despite substantial inflows of capital in recent years, the market value has shrunk, suggesting significant selling pressure. This situation raises questions about who is selling into the demand. On-chain data indicates shrinking realized gains even with high prices, weakening the market's internal strength. Sentiment readings at extreme fear levels often precede market capitulation points. Historical patterns show that similar losing streaks have led to prolonged downturns in the past. CryptoQuant emphasizes that price alone doesn't define the cycle; the balance between buying and selling is crucial. They suggest caution until inflows translate into sustained market cap growth and realized losses decrease.

Cryptocurrency analyst Cryptollica suggests a "maximum opportunity / minimum risk" setup for Dogecoin based on long-term indicators. The analysis uses a 10-day Dogecoin chart against the US Dollar Index (DXY) to filter out short-term market noise. A key level is the "Launchpad," a historical resistance that's now acting as support. The analyst sees the price returning to its origin and the 10-day RSI at a level that historically indicated cyclical bottoms. These factors suggest a possible shift in market sentiment towards Dogecoin's potential growth. Cryptollica also points to similar RSI readings in previous market downturns that preceded rallies. They believe Dogecoin is mathematically within the optimal risk-reward zone for investment. A separate chart shows Dogecoin's price nearing the lower boundary of a wide channel on a 3-day timeframe. The analyst implies that Dogecoin might be nearing its bottom based on historical price points. The overall analysis relies on historical patterns to explain the current market setup. The potential for a rise depends on support levels holding and Dogecoin's ability to recover. Dogecoin is currently trading around $0.09.

Tom Lee, Fundstrat's head of research, predicts a quick rebound for Ethereum based on its historical performance. He emphasizes Ethereum's eight past V-shaped recoveries after significant price drops since 2018. Analysts are looking at the $1,890 level as a potential bottom for the cryptocurrency. Strong staking demand is locking up a significant portion of Ethereum's supply, reducing tradable volume. The validator entry queue has grown, indicating continuous staking interest despite price declines. Ethereum's price recently fell to around $1,900, with a 36% drop over the last month. Market volatility has led to over $1 billion in liquidations, creating trader uncertainty. Economic data, geopolitical events, and inflation anticipation contribute to market nervousness. Several market analyses suggest the current market dip is not a structural break. Lee's view is that past patterns will repeat, leading to a strong recovery. He sees the recent price drop as part of a familiar cycle.

The current market downswing could be driven by institutional investors exiting positions, as crypto still presents too much risk for them.
