Bitcoin rebounded toward $106,000 on June 3 following a turbulent start to the trading day.
After briefly slipping below its previous all-time highs from late 2024, the cryptocurrency managed to steady itself, resisting a feared test of the $100,000 support level.
Market watchers noted an emerging bullish sentiment, fueled by renewed interest in key liquidity zones.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView highlighted the recovery of BTC/USD, showing the pair reversing its earlier drop after the Wall Street open.
Traders Eye High-Stakes Liquidity Zones
Popular trader Daan Crypto Trades suggested that both bulls and bears had positions clustered around the current price range, hinting at the potential for volatile moves.
“There are still a lot of positions built up on both sides,” he stated on X.
“Major liquidity zones above $110K and below $103K.”
This tension between upward and downward liquidity could trigger sudden price swings, with analysts watching closely for a breakout.
CoinGlass data showed that upside liquidity was already within range, raising the possibility of a short-term rally designed to flush out positions.
Support Builds, but Momentum Still Lacking
Material Indicators, a trading analytics platform, pointed out key areas of support that could come into play if prices dip again.
“FireCharts shows ~$263M in BTC bid liquidity laddered down to $97,750, and an additional block of plunge protection just above the Yearly Open,” the firm stated.
This strong bid interest may serve to buffer Bitcoin against further declines and keep the broader uptrend intact.
Still, Material Indicators remained cautious about expectations for new all-time highs in the near term.
“The trend undoubtedly is still up, but there has been no strong continuation above $100K+ this year just yet,” Daan Crypto Trades remarked the day before.
Profit-Taking Begins but Euphoria Still Absent
According to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, Bitcoin holders have started realizing profits, though not at the scale seen during past bull market peaks.
“The recent Bitcoin ATH breakout has led to a notable uptick in profits locked in, with the average coin capturing a +16% profit,” the firm said in its latest edition of “The Week Onchain.”
Only 8% of all trading days have yielded higher profits for investors, signaling that a wave of profit-taking may be underway.
Glassnode also emphasized that the market hasn’t yet entered a “euphoric” phase typically associated with cycle tops.
Instead, traders appear cautiously optimistic, with many still waiting for a strong catalyst to push Bitcoin decisively past the $110,000 mark.
Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) saw its stock price skyrocket more than 138% in a single trading session after announcing it had purchased Bitcoin and planned to acquire more.
The move reflects a growing trend among Nordic companies to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury strategies.
Initial Purchase and Future Plans
On June 2, NBX confirmed the acquisition of 6 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $633,700.
The firm aims to increase its holdings to 10 BTC before the end of June.
The company is also in talks to raise additional capital to expand its Bitcoin position.
By the close of June 2’s trading day, NBX shares had surged by 138.5%, ending at 0.033 euros ($0.038), according to Google Finance.
Despite this jump, the stock remains far below its all-time high of 0.93 euros ($1.06), which it reached in January 2022.
Bitcoin as Collateral and Operational Tool
NBX plans to use its newly acquired Bitcoin to support the issuance of USDM, a stablecoin on the Cardano blockchain.
The Bitcoin will also generate yield within the Cardano ecosystem.
The platform stated, “Bitcoin is becoming an important part of the global financial infrastructure.”
NBX believes the holdings will enhance “operational efficiency” and attract capital from crypto-curious businesses.
The company also revealed ambitions to explore Bitcoin-backed loans as part of a broader effort to evolve into a digital asset bank.
Growing Bitcoin Adoption in Norway
NBX is not alone in embracing Bitcoin.
Norwegian industrial giant Aker ASA entered the space in 2021 by creating a crypto-focused subsidiary, Seetee, which now holds 1,170 BTC.
According to Bitcointreasuries.net, Aker bought its Bitcoin at an average cost of $50,200, with current holdings valued at approximately $123 million.
Another Norwegian brokerage, K33, has raised 60 million Swedish krona ($6.2 million) to begin purchasing Bitcoin, signaling wider interest among regional firms.
Even Norway’s central wealth fund is indirectly exposed—Norges Bank held 3,821 BTC via equity investments by the end of 2024.
Global Trend of Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries
NBX’s stock rally mirrors other cases where firms gained after announcing Bitcoin investments.
France’s Blockchain Group revealed its Bitcoin buy in November 2023 and saw its stock rise 225% to 0.48 euros.
In Indonesia, DigiAsia Corp announced a $100 million Bitcoin investment plan, prompting a 91% increase in its stock price.
Collectively, corporate Bitcoin treasuries now hold over 3 million BTC, valued at more than $342 billion, according to Bitbo.
Bitcoin attempted to stabilize above $105,000 on June 1 following a strong monthly performance that saw an 11% gain for May.
The cryptocurrency faced ongoing pressure throughout the week, bringing it back to key support levels established earlier in the 2024 bull market.
Among these was the December 17 local high of roughly $104,450, which traders watched closely heading into the new week.
Analyst Matthew Hyland labeled the weekly close as “pivotal” for the short-term trend.
Hyland pointed to a developing bearish divergence between Bitcoin’s price and its relative strength index (RSI) on the weekly chart.
RSI, which gauges momentum, appeared to weaken even as price attempted to climb—raising caution flags for traders.
Bearish Divergence Raises Concerns
Trader Titan of Crypto echoed those concerns, warning his followers that a potential RSI bearish divergence was forming.
“Still unconfirmed but worth watching,” he posted on May 31, alongside a chart referencing Fibonacci-based fair value gaps (FVGs).
These gaps often indicate price areas where trading activity was unbalanced, and two key FVG zones were highlighted at $97,000 and $90,000.
Titan added, “After a +50% run, a cooldown wouldn’t be a bad thing. Healthy market structure matters.”
$100K Level Could Act as Magnet
CrypNuevo, another trader analyzing order book data, suggested that $100,000 could serve as a price magnet if selling pressure continues.
“It’s a strong psychological level and liquidity tends to stack in these levels,” they noted, anticipating a possible retest.
Despite Bitcoin’s 8% decline over the past week, CrypNuevo remained bullish on the broader trend.
“So I think we’ll probably drop to $100k and play around there for some days… even a slight temporary drop below it to shake the market would make sense,” they predicted.
They concluded that overall market structure remains bullish, with the bull market support level near $84,000 closing in from below.
Bitcoin has pulled back sharply, sparking renewed caution from analysts who warn that the digital asset may be headed for a deeper correction before resuming its bullish trajectory.
BTC/USD fell by 8% as of May 31, retreating to levels below its previous all-time high.
This decline leaves the token nearly $9,000 below its recent record peak, putting short-term sentiment to the test.
Demand Metrics Signal a Cooling Trend
A report from CryptoQuant shared with Cointelegraph suggests that Bitcoin’s demand growth may be hitting a temporary ceiling.
The analytics platform estimates that Bitcoin demand has increased by 229,000 BTC in the last 30 days, nearing the 279,000 BTC peak seen in December 2024.
“Some of Bitcoin’s demand metrics may be reaching a short-term top, which could imply a pause in the current rally,” the report stated.
It also noted that whale balances have risen by 2.8% over the past month, a pattern often followed by reduced accumulation from major holders.
Additionally, average unrealized profits hovered around 30% when prices neared $111,000—another sign of an imminent slowdown.
Analysts Eye Key Technical Levels
Prominent trader Mags highlighted the importance of the upcoming weekly candle close.
“On the daily chart, BTC has broken below the previous all-time high and is facing rejection at that same level,” Mags observed.
“This might look like the start of a deeper correction.”
If Bitcoin closes the week below the December 2024 high of $104,450, it may form a bearish pattern before climbing again, he added.
Bull Market Outlook Remains Intact for Now
Despite the current retreat, broader sentiment remains optimistic.
Trader Aksel Kibar said the bull market structure is still intact, provided prices remain above $73,700.
He reiterated his 2025 target of $137,000 for BTC, aligning with a midterm bullish outlook.
CryptoQuant analysts see $120,000 as a key level where many investors might choose to lock in profits.
While the path forward could involve further short-term losses, most analysts agree the bull market has not been derailed.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that incorporate staking for Ethereum and Solana could hit the U.S. market in the coming weeks, following a notable regulatory filing by ETF provider REX Shares.
Analysts suggest the move employs strategic regulatory workarounds to bypass conventional SEC procedures.
Unique Structure Behind the REX ETFs
According to ETF analyst James Seyffart, the REX filings utilize an unusual structural classification.
“These ETFs are structured as c-corps. Which is very rare in the ETF world,” he explained on May 30.
REX confirmed that the fund would be taxed as a C-corporation, meaning both current and deferred tax expenses will be factored into the fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV).
This model deviates from the norm and raises questions about its implications for investors.
Staking as a Missing Puzzle Piece
Staking has been one of the most anticipated features for spot Ethereum ETFs since their debut in July 2024.
Many industry executives believe the absence of staking has made these products incomplete.
ETF Store President Nate Geraci called REX’s approach a “regulatory end-around” and expressed confidence in their imminent launch.
Bypassing the SEC’s Traditional Path
Seyffart noted that the REX funds are 40-act funds and thus avoid the usual 19b-4 regulatory review process.
This is a critical workaround, particularly in light of the SEC’s recent delay on Bitwise’s application to add staking to its own Ether ETF.
“This was one way to get some level of signoff from the SEC,” Seyffart said.
Fund Mechanics and Market Entry
REX’s proposed ETFs will gain spot exposure to Ether and Solana through Cayman-based subsidiaries.
The structure is designed to allow staking of at least 50% of each token, marking a significant shift from earlier offerings.
Seyffart added, “All of this, assuming they launch in the near future, is a bunch of clever legal and regulatory workarounds to get these products to market.”
The launch, though not yet dated, appears imminent based on regulatory patterns and market positioning.
BlackRock Perspective Adds Weight
On March 20, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, described their own Ether ETF as a “tremendous success.”
However, he admitted the lack of staking made the product “less perfect.”
The addition of staking capabilities is seen by many as essential for ETFs aiming to fully capture the benefits of Ethereum and Solana’s proof-of-stake networks.
The developments from REX could potentially open the floodgates for similar fund structures, signaling a new phase of innovation in crypto-linked investment vehicles.
Investors in BlackRock and Fidelity’s spot Ether exchange-traded funds are facing sharp unrealized losses, according to a new analysis by blockchain data firm Glassnode.
The report states that the average holder of these ETFs is currently sitting on a 21% paper loss, reflecting the gap between Ether’s current trading value and the purchase price of the funds.
Ether, which is trading at $2,601, is well below the cost basis for both ETFs — with BlackRock’s average at $3,300 and Fidelity’s even higher at $3,500.
The asset’s decline over recent months has significantly impacted investor sentiment and ETF performance.
Tariffs Triggered the Downturn
The last time Ether traded above $3,000 was in early February.
The downtrend began shortly after then-President Donald Trump issued executive orders imposing tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico.
The crypto market reacted sharply, and Ether’s price plummeted to a yearly low of $1,472 on April 9 — the same day those tariffs took effect.
Glassnode highlighted that ETF outflows accelerated when the spot price of Ether dipped below the average cost basis in August 2024, and again in January and March 2025.
This reflected growing investor concerns and a broader crypto market correction.
Signs of Recovery and Renewed Interest
Despite these losses, Ether has rebounded by over 44% in the past month.
From May 16 onward, spot Ether ETFs have recorded nine consecutive days of inflows totaling $435.6 million.
The inflows are partly attributed to easing concerns around Trump’s tariff policies, especially after a US federal court blocked most of them on May 28.
Market watchers believe this court ruling could fuel a broader crypto recovery, with Ether potentially leading the charge.
Spot ETFs recorded their last net outflow on May 15, marking a shift in investor behavior.
Mixed Reception Since Launch
Since their launch in July 2024, US-based spot Ether ETFs have accumulated $2.94 billion in inflows.
Ether was trading at roughly $3,536 at the time, making current prices a major drawdown for early participants.
Glassnode noted that ETF volume was modest at first, making up just 1.5% of spot market trades.
Although that share rose to 2.5% during November 2024 — coinciding with Trump’s re-election and a market-wide rally that pushed Ether to $4,007 — the figure has since fallen back to earlier levels.
Lack of Staking a Key Limitation
Speaking at the Digital Asset Summit in March, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, acknowledged one weakness in their offering.
He said the spot Ether ETF is “less perfect” without the inclusion of staking, a feature many crypto investors now consider standard.
The sentiment underscores the challenges facing Ether ETFs, even as the broader market shows signs of stabilization.
Investors remain hopeful that recent momentum can be sustained, but for now, many remain underwater.
Solana (SOL) has recently consolidated below a major resistance level at $180, signaling uncertainty in its short-term momentum.
Despite this, the altcoin has shown resilience by closing above its 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) for three consecutive weeks — a historically bullish signal.
Technical Strength Builds Momentum
Maintaining a price above the 50-week EMA has often preceded significant rallies for Solana.
A similar move in late 2023 saw SOL climb above both its 50-week and 100-week EMAs, which led to a sharp 515% gain by March 2024.
Currently, Solana’s relative strength index (RSI) sits at 52.60, suggesting moderate but growing buying interest.
Fibonacci Analysis Supports Bullish Case
Traders are closely watching trend-based Fibonacci (FIB) extensions to gauge SOL’s next big move.
Measured from the January high of $295 down to recent lows near $95, the immediate FIB target sits around $300 — a 70% increase from current levels.
A breakout into price discovery beyond this level could spark a further rally toward the 1.618 extension at $418.
Downside Risk Remains Near Key Support Levels
Despite the bullish setup, Solana faces the risk of a downturn if it fails to hold its position above the 50-week EMA.
In such a case, the price could fall back to its support zone between $152 and $157.
Technical traders warn this level is crucial for sustaining upward momentum.
Futures Market Shows High Speculative Interest
Solana’s futures open interest (OI) is currently at $7.5 billion, according to CoinGlass — just $1 billion below its January 2025 high.
Such elevated OI typically points to strong speculative activity and the potential for heightened volatility.
While funding rates across exchanges have turned negative, indicating bearish sentiment, this also increases the likelihood of a short squeeze.
Analysts See Diverging Scenarios
Crypto futures analyst Byzantine General noted that rising OI, steady volume, and neutral cross-exchange funding suggest Solana may be stabilizing.
This technical posture could lead to a rapid upward move if momentum builds.
He believes the $300 level remains an achievable target should bullish conditions persist.
Bearish Signals Not to Be Ignored
However, not all market watchers are optimistic.
Well-known trader Carl Moon highlighted a potential double top pattern forming on the 4-hour chart.
If confirmed, this bearish signal could pull SOL down toward the $150 range in the near term.
Key Resistance Defines Next Steps
Ultimately, Solana’s path forward hinges on its ability to break and hold above the $180 resistance.
A decisive move beyond this level would likely validate a bullish continuation, while rejection could open the door for a healthy correction.
Large Bitcoin holders have spent the week adding to their stacks even as spot prices hover just below April’s all-time peak.
On-chain dashboards from Material Indicators reveal a steady uptick in buy orders sized over $1 million, a pattern analysts read as “whales locking in exposure before the next leg.”
At the same time, BTC has traded in a narrow $5,000 channel around $105,000, suggesting a bout of consolidation rather than capitulation.
“BTC is consolidating above $100k and whales are accumulating,” noted Material Indicators co-founder Keith Alan, pointing to a heat-map of rising bid liquidity clustered at six-figure levels.
Analysts flag $94K as first major support
Alan’s models place the 21-week moving average—currently near $94,000—as the most likely bounce zone should sellers gain the upper hand.
“If a correction comes, I expect support to hold at the trend line which currently has confluence with the 21-Week Moving Average.”
That view aligns with historical patterns: previous bull-market pauses have typically retraced to the 21-week curve before resuming their advance.
Bull market context tempers correction fears
Despite the possibility of a pullback, market structure remains decisively bullish.
Bitcoin has printed seven consecutive green weekly candles, a streak rarely seen outside primary uptrends.
Funding rates on perpetual futures have cooled, implying less overheated leverage and healthier foundations for another breakout attempt.
High-profile trades stir social-media drama
Hyperliquid trader James Wynn has amplified volatility by live-tweeting every blockbuster position.
“They FORCED the $BTC price DOWN to $108,700,” he wrote after claiming rivals attempted to liquidate a 40x long.
Blockchain monitors show Wynn’s latest leveraged bet sitting on an unrealized $3.4 million loss, a reminder that whale theatrics can swing intraday sentiment.
Macro signals still favor upside
The dollar index slipped this week, and gold’s rally lost steam, pushing some macro funds to rotate back into digital assets.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest three-day inflow since early May, according to BitTrends data.
Meanwhile, Glassnode metrics show dormant supply at a record high, indicating long-term holders remain reluctant to sell into strength.
Risk factors traders are tracking
CME futures now price a 45 % chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, and any hawkish surprise could drain risk-asset appetite.
Regulatory headlines also lurk: the Securities and Exchange Commission has yet to publish final guidance on crypto staking, and a restrictive ruling could sap retail momentum.
Even so, the broader market mood leans optimistic, with several analysts setting year-end targets between $135,000 and $155,000—levels that imply a fresh wave of FOMO if $112,000 resistance breaks.
Outlook
For now, eyes remain on whether whales keep stepping in on minor dips and whether the 21-week average indeed acts as a floor.
A clean bounce near $94,000 would fit the script of a classic mid-cycle correction inside a powerful bull trend.
Conversely, a decisive close below that line could open the door to a deeper retracement toward the $80,000 handle.
As ever in crypto, sentiment can flip quickly, but whale behavior continues to suggest the path of least resistance points higher—after a potential shakeout to test conviction.
The next era of mobile rewards is now beginning in 2025 as the Solana-based utility token RZTO and Rizz Wireless collaborate. Over time, telecom companies have invested a lot of energy into providing connectivity without in-depth consideration of how to promote loyal customer engagements—until today.
Telecom token RZTO, a Solana-based utility token, has partnered with Rizz Wireless, an FCC-licensed MVNO in the USA, to create a crypto-integrated model that revolutionizes telecom rewards. This token with rewards is now live with a full suite of mobile rewards and real staking benefits, plus premium travel packages, set to emerge as a superlative offering for users.
Imagine gathering digital rewards from your day-to-day calls, using them for quicker returns, cashing them in for travel rewards, while enjoying 5G nationwide coverage. This isn’t a futuristic concept; it’s happening now. RZTO and Rizz Wireless are remaking the telecom market with a model that transforms customer loyalty into a valuable benefit and into more money.
How RZTO Powers Rizz Wireless
Notably, RZTO has a foundational role in driving Rizz Wireless. Rizz Wireless has 5G wide coverage in the USA at affordable rates, starting from $25/month, and cutting-edge eSIM service that provides constant internet access for Americans and international guests.
Through the RZTO token system, users earn digital rewards for ordinary activities that are not customarily appreciated: Whether they’re recharging their monthly subscriptions, using their talk minutes wisely or converting extra data into rewards, users constitute part of Rizz’s innovative ‘Call-to-Earn’ ecosystem, which has been beneficial for the first users since its introduction.
Token with rewards earned through RZTO hold tangible value and can be practically applied for purposes such as topping up data during high demand scenarios, accessing inexpensive international roaming options or making purchases at local partner stores – thus creating a financially rewarded ecosystem for telecom users.
Benefits for Users and Investors
In the digital market environment of 2025, both routine clients and strategic investors prefer the telecom token RZTO and Rizz Wireless’ comprehensive services. In Europe, Asia, and Dubai, RZTO streamlines mobile bills for its subscribers with the potential to cancel all charges through rewards in tokens. These instantly usable incentive tokens can be used toward: controlling high-data periods, managing roaming, or redeeming exclusive travel rewards such as great savings on flights through Zoyilli partnerships.
The technological basis of RZTO does not disappoint expectations as it constantly ensures that subscribers remain connected anywhere they may be—whether they are dealing with remote work or venturing into places they do not know. With regards to investments, RZTO is highly regarded for its program that imitates the fixed APY scheme of Bitcoin using a well-structured staking mechanism.
The Solana-based utility token holders get practical rewards in the form of mobile data allocations by joining the network, they contribute to its development. At the same time, RZTO uses a complicated dual-burn approach, whereby circulating supply is slowly reduced laying the groundwork for increased growth of the token value.
Those interested in security will appreciate the continuous Certik audit process and the upcoming listings in popular platforms such as CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, allowing RZTO to find its reliable position in the sphere of cryptocurrencies.
With a global expansion plan and plans to embrace decentralized governance dictated by a DAO system by 2035, RZTO seeks to promote consistent growth, thus becoming a promising investment for crypto enthusiasts interested in projects that offer actual real-world benefits and continuous revenue.
A Vision for Global Connectivity
Although aimed at short-term results, RZTO and Rizz Wireless are deliberately building the core foundation ready to define global connectivity standards several years down the line. While operating in the United States market today, RZTO’s vision is to grow systematically internationally by powering several global networks by 2027, with specific plans to enter Europe and open 100 retail outlets across the USA.
Geographic expansion is accompanied by parallel advances in technological development for RZTO. In 2026, RZTO will introduce its own Layer 1 blockchain and new NFT experiences to support the ecosystem functionality and user interaction alternatives. Artificial intelligence is poised to go into the markets in 2027 and will make possible highly individualized and predictive service delivery, while a comprehensive DAO governance structure is progressively introduced by 2035 and ensures genuine community input in the governance of the network.
With its foundation based on the advanced blockchain of Solana, this token with rewards easily caters to its ambitious activities providing transaction efficiency, low-cost advantages needed for the global development.
For potential users and investors across the world, the partnership of telecom token RZTO with Rizz Wireless increases the credibility of its business model, and an impeccably planned roadmap lays out a future where universal mobile rewards are a real possibility.
The Solana-based utility token RZTO is not just some utility token, but a guiding beacon in the worldwide movement to disrupt global connectivity norms with Web3 and a user-first philosophy. Those who participate in the presale can benefit from greater advantages such as the possibility to receive a 10% bonus on tokens if they use valid promotional codes.
By availing of this limited-time opportunity, the participants get a special advantage to benefit from the expected demand and appreciation.
