Bitcoin's rally is losing its upward momentum, according to an analysis by on-chain analyst XWIN Japan Research. In a contribution to CryptoQuant, the firm argued that while BTC rebounded sharply from its April low to briefly recover to $82,000, the rise was driven more by speculative demand in the futures market than by actual spot buying. "One of the most important signals is that BTC faced resistance near its 200-day moving average of around $82,400," the analysis stated. "This is similar to the pattern in March 2022, when BTC also saw a strong rebound, met resistance in the same range, and then reversed into a downtrend." The firm added that BTC demand has shrunk as buying pressure from futures weakened sharply following the liquidation of long positions above the $80,000 level. Simultaneously, growth in spot demand has slowed, with spot BTC ETFs recording consecutive net outflows after seeing large net inflows earlier this month. "If a correction continues, the $70,000 area is the key support line," XWIN Japan Research concluded.

The recent net outflow of over $1 billion from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs could represent a buying opportunity, according to an analysis by Santiment reported by Cointelegraph. The firm suggests that ETF fund flows can act as a contrarian indicator, as they tend to reflect retail investor sentiment more strongly than institutional sentiment. While the market generally interprets consecutive net outflows from BTC ETFs as a bearish signal, Santiment argues the current trend is closer to a market reset than a sign of excessive fear. The report also noted that such periods of sustained outflows have often created favorable conditions for long-term investors to accumulate positions incrementally.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national who was recently arrested, reportedly vowed to kill Ivanka and planned to take over her home in Florida.

According to Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi Embassy in the U.S., Al-Saadi told people after Soleimani's death that since Trump had 'burned our house,' they should kill Ivanka and burn Trump's house in retaliation.
