XRP fell more than 3% in a day to $1.29, breaking below the $1.30 area that had acted as support during the current corrective phase. Levi Rietveld said on May 26, 2026 that "the SEC is doing it", while arguing the Federal Reserve is preparing an initial $7 billion injection next week to start a quantitative easing cycle. Technically, the drop below $1.30 is framed as a breakdown that could expose $1.20 and potentially $1.10 if selling pressure persists.

Hyperliquid's HYPE retraced 8.5% from its $64.72 all-time high and was trading near $56.49 on 28 May 2026. Daily RSI eased from 78 to 62, staying above 50, while a price-vs-RSI divergence appeared at the top. Key Fibonacci areas highlighted include 0.236 as the first support, with a stronger confluence zone around $45–$48 where the 0.382 level aligns with the 50-day SMA.

In Q1 2026, publicly traded Bitcoin miners including Core Scientific, Cipher, and IREN reduced parts of their mining operations and redirected power and infrastructure toward AI and high-performance computing. The shift comes as mining revenues face historically low hashprice levels and tougher network competition, making AI/HPC colocation and cloud deals a growing earnings driver. The article argues miners are increasingly valued for power access, cooling, and infrastructure control rather than Bitcoin output alone.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to about $73,235 after dipping to $72,604, as renewed US strikes on Iran and sustained spot Bitcoin ETF redemptions weighed on risk sentiment. More than $900 million in crypto liquidations and over $2 billion in ETF outflows since mid-May added to the selling, with traders watching $72,650 support and a 14-day RSI of 34.82.

Bitcoin fell below $75,000 for a second time in May, sliding to about $73,600 at publication and printing a session low near $72,600 after an earlier intraday dip around $74,200. May 23 marked the first break under $75,000, which coincided with spot ETF outflows and forced liquidations. Glassnode argues the $75,000–$78,000 zone is acting as a ceiling, with more than $8 billion of negative gamma near $75,000 and roughly $2.26 billion in US spot Bitcoin ETF outflows over two weeks through late May.

ETH slipped below $2,000 over the past 24 hours for the first time since early 2025, trading at $1,972.82 after a 13.4% decline over the past month. The move coincided with $241M in long liquidations and rising derivatives activity, with open interest cited at $12.5B and $32.69B from separate datasets. DeFi metrics also weakened, including Aave loans at $8B (down 14% in a month) and Ethereum-based DeFi holdings at $41.78B versus over $91B in August 2025.

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social backing digital assets, shortly before the U.S. Department of Defense exchanged fire with Iran that coincided with renewed pressure on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. From Jan. 20, 2025 to May 28, 2026, total crypto market cap slid from $3.45 trillion to $2.44 trillion, while BTC fell 28.53% from $102,573 to $73,307.

Bitcoin's 30-day exchange net flow shifted into inflow territory and reached +103K BTC on May 26, after first turning positive on May 18. Over the same window, stablecoin net flow to centralized exchanges flipped negative and fell as low as -$153M per day on May 27, signaling reduced on-exchange buying liquidity. The combination points to rising sell-side supply alongside weakening demand, while key inflection levels are whether BTC inflows stay above +100K BTC and whether stablecoin flows recover back toward zero.
