☹️ Bitcoin Stalls At A Critical Level

But Bitcoin miners may be the better bet here...

Happy Tuesday!

Bitcoin is getting rejected at $77,000 and that’s a critical signal for the bear market rally: the same happened back in 2022 — and here’s what came next.

Bitcoin miners may be a better bet, according to Bernstein. Here’s why the asset manager says AI deals are bullish for them.

TOP STORY

Bitcoin $BTC is below $77,000 after getting rejected at the 200-day moving average — the same ceiling that ended bear market rallies in May 2018, March 2022, and now May 2026.

Analyst Benjamin Cowen sees two paths from here, both ending in a Q4 low: the bearish route sweeps February lows into June before a dead-cat bounce in July-August then another drop into October; the bullish route holds into June then rallies to the 0.382 Fibonacci level near $85,000 before selling off into Q4 — a level Bitcoin has tagged after every major drop in 2014, 2018, and 2022 without exception.

The 20-week moving average at $75,000 is the immediate support after 200-day MA rejections in prior bear cycles.

FINTECH FOCUS

Bernstein just handed four Bitcoin miners Outperform ratings — and the price targets are aggressive.

IREN gets a $100 target implying 98% upside, CleanSpark gets $24 for 78.5% upside, Riot Platforms gets $25 for 7.8% upside, and Core Scientific gets $24 for 1.8% upside — all anchored to the same thesis:

Bitcoin miners now control more than 27 gigawatts of planned power capacity and have become embedded in AI infrastructure at a moment when securing a single gigawatt takes nearly 50 months across U.S. markets.

More than $90 billion in AI deals covering 3.7 gigawatts have already been signed across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and chip providers.
