The cryptocurrency market enters a cautious yet potentially decisive phase following last week’s sharp deleveraging. While the recent liquidation flushed out excessive leverage, paving the way for a healthier market structure, it also signalled the fragility of sentiment amid macroeconomic uncertainty. In addition, the continued expansion of Stablecoin highlights crypto’s evolution from speculative trading to real-world financial infrastructure, even as liquidity remains thin and volatility elevated.
We expect BTC to maintain below the $100,000 mark before the much-anticipated mega rally, as traders digest recent corrections and macro cues. The next major pullback will test whether the market is merely correcting or entering a deeper consolidation phase. Stablecoin’s supply could continue, especially where adoption expands into payments, cards, and cross-border transactions. The upcoming Fed’s decision will likely steer short-term flows, either reviving crypto appetite as yields drop or dampening sentiment should risk aversion rise. In this evolving environment, decentralized infrastructure, DeFi, stablecoins, and chain interoperability will be monitored closely for resilience or cracks as the market transitions from speculation to substance.

The crypto market moves like a quick sand dream…
What looked solid yesterday now slips beneath our feet.
Last week’s fall pulled down the weight of greed,
Sinking the borrowed hopes of those who leaned too far.
Yet from that slow descent, a strange calm rises…
The ground resets, softer, cleaner, and bare.
Stablecoins glimmer like small islands of safety,
Steady shapes in a shifting land.
Still, every step is cautious,
For in this field of sand and promise,
One wrong move…
And even confidence can disappear beneath the surface.
