Crypto Quant: BTC Cycle Peak May Not Have Arrived Yet, Price Down About 50% from All-Time High

Cryptoquant indicates its 365-day PnL Index signal continues to decline, suggesting the current BTC cycle may not have reached its peak. BTC is currently trading at approximately $62,656, down about 50% from its all-time high of around $126,000 in October 2025. Cryptoquant’s bull-bear cycle indicator turned green on May 12, 2026, marking the first bullish signal since March 2023.Cryptoquant stated that the indicator produced a false positive in 2022, and the green signal itself does not guarantee a sustained upward trend. A whale purchased BTC worth $98.9 million at the June 5 low of $59,734, securing a profit of $3.5 million within two days as the market rebounded. BTC has since remained above $60,000 and was trading at approximately $62,550 at the time of writing. (Bitcoin.com News).

Analysts lower SK Hynix Q2 earnings expectations but anticipate sustained long-term profit growth

Odaily Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform that KIS Semicon analyst Minsook Chae expects SK Hynix's operating profit for the second quarter of 2026 to be 60.4 trillion Korean won, up 61% quarter-on-quarter and 556% year-on-year, which is 8% lower than the market consensus of 65 trillion Korean won.The analyst stated that the lowered expectations are mainly due to SK Hynix's higher proportion of HBM sales compared to peers, lower-than-expected price increases for general DRAM, and the stabilization of ASP (Average Selling Price) driven by Long-Term Supply Agreements (LTAs). The forecast for the quarter-on-quarter growth rate of the comprehensive DRAM ASP in Q2 2026 has been lowered to 28.9%, down from the previous 50.0%; the growth rate for commodity DRAM ASP has been reduced to 34.2%, down from the previous 60.6%. With the mass production of HBM4 officially commencing in the third quarter of 2026, the comprehensive ASP growth rate is expected to return to an average market level of approximately 10% quarter-on-quarter.However, the analyst believes this adjustment does not signal a downturn for the industry. The recent revision is a more realistic reflection of the 3 to 5-year LTA structure and is expected to lead to more stable long-term profit growth. The year-on-year operating profit growth rates for the fiscal years 2026 through 2028 are projected to be 419%, 53%, and 19%, respectively.

Standard Chartered: Maintains Bitcoin Price Forecast of $100,000 by End of 2026

Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reported that Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that the market has misinterpreted Michael Saylor's adjustments to Strategy Inc.'s bitcoin strategy, and the recent selling pressure stems from confusion over this strategy rather than a change in bitcoin's long-term outlook. Strategy Inc. is shifting bitcoin from being a reserve accumulation asset to serving as collateral to support its STRC preferred stock. Kendrick maintains the bitcoin price forecast of $100,000 by the end of 2026. As of press time, BTC was trading at $64,322.89, and Strategy's stock MSTR closed at $94.64 on Friday. The outstanding notional value of STRC is approximately $10 billion, which Kendrick believes makes the preferred stock heavily overcollateralized due to its bitcoin backing. (Bitcoin.com News).

TD Cowen Lowers Strategy Price Target to $260, Maintains Buy Rating

Odaily Wall Street investment bank TD Cowen has lowered its price target for Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (STRC) from $400 to $260, a reduction of approximately 35%, while maintaining a "Buy" rating. The firm noted that the company's newly launched digital credit capital framework is constructive, with continuous improvements in credit transparency and capital flexibility.Analysts explained that this valuation adjustment is unrelated to the new capital framework, but is primarily driven by lowered Bitcoin price expectations: the BTC price forecast for end-2026 has been reduced from $140,000 to $100,000, and the end-2027 forecast from $190,000 to $135,000. Even after the adjustment, the $260 price target still implies over 200% upside from the closing price of $92.68. The investment bank also acknowledged that this valuation differential appears relatively high.On the capital front, Strategy has rebuilt $2.55 billion in USD reserves. Last week's issuance of 12 million common shares was not used to increase Bitcoin holdings. Existing cash can cover more than 17 months of interest and preferred stock dividends, and combined with BTC monetization capacity, can cover 26 months of expenses. The company has received approval for $1 billion in common stock buybacks and $1 billion in preferred stock buybacks, marking a shift from one-way equity issuance to proactive capital structure optimization. The $1.25 billion in Bitcoin monetization proceeds will replenish cash reserves, while the preferred stock dividend rate has been raised from 11.5% to 12%, alleviating the previously significant 26% discount issue.

Analysis: On-chain data points to a potential bear market bottom range of $50,000–$54,000

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently testing its 200-week moving average (200WMA) near $62,400. If this support level breaks down, market focus may shift to the Realized Price—approximately $53,457. The Realized Price represents the network-wide average on-chain cost basis of all Bitcoin holdings. Historically, Bitcoin briefly dipped below this level before establishing cyclical bottoms during the 2011, 2015, 2018–2019, March 2020 crash, and the 2022 bear market. When market prices fall below investors’ average cost basis, it often triggers panic selling and extreme pessimism. From a holdings-structure perspective, “whales” holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC have an average cost basis of roughly $54,300, while “super whales” holding over 100,000 BTC have an average cost basis below $49,000. If large holders tend to defend prices near their cost bases, the bear-market bottom could form within the $50,000–$54,000 range. In contrast, retail investors holding less than 1 BTC have an average cost basis below $48,000—meaning they would remain profitable even if prices decline further.
