Altcoin Daily
Bitcoin dropped below $59,000 over the weekend, breaking under its 200-week moving average for only the second time in the asset's history, the first being the FTX collapse in November 2022. Total crypto market cap has fallen from a record $4.3 trillion on October 6, 2025 to roughly $2 trillion today, a 54% drawdown that has erased an average of $8.8 billion per day for 261 consecutive days.
Why it matters
The 200-week moving average is the technical line institutional and long-term holders watch for cycle bottoms. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $6.4 billion in net outflows over the last 30 days, the largest 30-day outflow on record, with BlackRock and Fidelity clients leading the selling. Strategy's common stock (MSTR) fell below $100 for the first time since 2024 on relentless ATM dilution, fueling speculation that Michael Saylor may eventually have to sell a clip of his Bitcoin to defend the equity. Senator Cynthia Lummis told Fox Business that the Clarity Act text will drop over the July 4th recess, with bank-driven revisions to the GENIUS Act and unresolved DeFi language still in play.
Market impact
In parallel, roughly 16 million ADA (around $2.4 million) were drained from approximately 178 self-custody wallets via a critical flaw in SecondFi, the rebranded Yoroi wallet, which exposed private keys during web wallet creation. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed the protocol itself is unaffected and said the platform is in maintenance mode with a balance snapshot taken. A normal Bitcoin bear cycle historically corrects 70-75% from the all-time high, which would put a worst-case floor near $32,000, but the current 50-55% drawdown and the 200WMA test mark the bottoming window the market has been waiting for. A weekly close above roughly $62,000 would reclaim the moving average and signal structural support; a close below keeps the FTX-style drawdown scenario live.
