Large investors in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures market are significantly reducing their short positions, potentially signaling that the price has formed a bottom, Cointelegraph reported. Citing a report released last week by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the analysis noted that the net position of BTC futures traders has shifted from approximately 1,000 contracts a month ago to -1,600 contracts recently. This shift suggests that institutional investors, such as hedge funds, may have flipped from net short to net long. Cointelegraph pointed to a similar move in April of last year, which was followed by a 70% rally for BTC. Technical indicators also suggest that selling pressure at current levels is reaching its limit. However, the report also cautioned that some analysts view this as a favorable condition rather than a definitive signal, warning that a break below key support could lead to a further decline to $40,000.

CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index is currently at 29. The index determines whether it is an altcoin season or a Bitcoin season by comparing the price performance of the top 100 coins by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and wrapped coins, against Bitcoin over the past 90 days. An altcoin season is declared if 75% of these coins outperform Bitcoin. A score closer to 100 indicates a stronger altcoin season.

The AI crypto trading bot, Lobstar Wilde on X, transferred its full supply of Lobstar tokens—representing 5% of the total supply and valued at $250,000 at the time—to a user who had begged for 4 SOL for a fictional tetanus treatment. One user speculated that the bot intended to send approximately 52,439 tokens, the equivalent of 4 SOL, but mistakenly sent 52.43 million. Following the incident, the bot posted a calm reaction: "Tried to send 4 SOL to a beggar and sent my entire net worth. Biggest laugh I've had in my three days of existence." The recipient sold the tokens within 15 minutes, netting around $40,000 due to liquidity. The price of the Lobstar token subsequently surged, pushing the value of the tokens he sold to over $420,000.

Private equity and private credit manager Blue Owl Capital is selling $1.4 billion in assets to meet redemptions, sparking speculation that the event could trigger the next Bitcoin bull run, CoinDesk reported. Following the announcement, Blue Owl's (OWL) stock has fallen approximately 14% on the week and is down more than 50% for the year. Former PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian warned the situation could be a "canary in the coal mine," similar to the 2007 collapse of Bear Stearns. The speculation is rooted in historical precedent: the Federal Reserve's zero-interest-rate policy and quantitative easing (QE) following the 2008 financial crisis set the stage for Bitcoin's creation and subsequent long-term bull market. Similarly, after massive liquidity injections during the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, BTC surged from under $4,000 to over $65,000.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex has stated that quantum computing has not yet reached a stage where it can threaten Bitcoin's (BTC) cryptographic systems, according to U.Today.
