June 4: BITCOIN HITS EXTREME FEAR AS THE CRYPTO WINTER DEEPENS
Matt opened the show with a simple message: if you're a long-term holder, this is probably the time to close CoinMarketCap, shut down the computer, and go enjoy your life. Bitcoin briefly touched roughly $61,500 after trading near $85,000 just two weeks earlier, while Ethereum fell below $1,800. The market was hit with approximately $1.76 billion in liquidations over a 24-hour period, and ETF outflows have now stretched to thirteen consecutive sessions, totaling roughly $4.4 billion since mid-May. Matt described the recent price action as a classic "dead cat bounce," where a market crashes so hard that it temporarily rebounds before settling lower. While some analysts, including Standard Chartered, have suggested the bottom may be close, Matt remains skeptical. His view is that a 50% drawdown from all-time highs does not automatically mean the pain is over. Historically, Bitcoin has experienced even deeper corrections, and he cautioned that another significant leg lower remains possible. A major point of discussion was Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and the growing speculation surrounding its massive Bitcoin holdings. Prediction markets are increasingly focused on questions surrounding Strategy's future purchases, index inclusion, and financial stability. While Matt does not believe the company is facing an imminent crisis, he noted that any meaningful Bitcoin sales by Strategy would inject significant liquidity into an already fragile market and could intensify downward pressure on price. Matt also reflected on the emotional reality of crypto bear markets. No matter how committed someone is to Bitcoin, prolonged drawdowns eventually test everyone's conviction. Even the most bullish investors experience moments of doubt. His advice remains the same as it has been throughout previous cycles: if you're a believer in the long-term thesis, continue dollar-cost averaging if it fits your plan, avoid emotional decisions, and remember that bear markets are designed to make people question everything. By the end of the episode, Bitcoin was trading around $63,460, Ethereum near $1,772, XRP at $1.17, and Solana below $70. The overall crypto market capitalization had fallen to roughly $2.2 trillion, while the Fear & Greed Index registered an "Extreme Fear" reading of 19. Matt argued that true capitulation may not have arrived yet. In his view, the real bottom typically comes when investors become completely despondent and the broader market once again declares that Bitcoin is dead. Until then, his message was simple: enjoy the weekend, spend time with family, and don't let the charts control your life. Summary: Bitcoin's sharp decline, record ETF outflows, and extreme fear readings have pushed the market deeper into bear-market territory. While some analysts believe a bottom may be forming, Matt remains cautious, warning that further downside is still possible and encouraging investors to focus on long-term discipline rather than short-term panic.

CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN’S BEARISH TREND IS STILL INTACT
Craig Cobb says the market continues to look overwhelmingly bearish, and from his perspective, the recent price action has only reinforced that view. While many investors disappear when prices fall, Craig says these are the periods that get him most excited because they create opportunities for long-term accumulation. Having remained largely in cash throughout the downturn, he is now watching closely for signs that Bitcoin could offer a more attractive reentry point.The key level Craig continues to focus on is the $74,000 area. This zone previously acted as major resistance before becoming support following President Trump's election victory rally. Last week, Bitcoin broke below that level and has since struggled to reclaim it. On both the daily and weekly charts, Craig sees a clear pattern of lower highs and lower lows, with the two-week timeframe also showing what he considers a textbook downtrend. To him, the trend remains firmly bearish until proven otherwise.Craig is also paying close attention to the monthly chart. May closed as a bearish month after Bitcoin failed to hold above $80,000, and he believes a break below the May low near $72,460 could open the door for significantly more downside. While he is not predicting that Bitcoin will revisit previous cycle lows, he does believe momentum could accelerate if key support levels fail. Rather than rushing back into the market, he remains comfortable holding cash and waiting for better opportunities.Ethereum continues to be one of Craig’s biggest concerns. He notes that Ethereum showed weakness long before Bitcoin rolled over and has now fallen below the psychologically important $2,000 level. Because Ethereum often serves as a barometer for the broader altcoin market, its continued weakness suggests that altcoins may struggle to gain meaningful traction. Projects like Cardano, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash all continue to show bearish structures, with Bitcoin Cash suffering some of the most severe losses in recent weeks.One notable exception is Hyperliquid. Craig highlighted Hyperliquid as one of the strongest performers in the entire crypto market, pointing to its revenue generation model and token buyback mechanism as key drivers behind its continued strength. While most of the market remains under pressure, Hyperliquid has continued making new highs and attracting significant capital.Looking at broader market indicators, Craig notes that Bitcoin dominance has fallen sharply, but not because altcoins are thriving. Instead, Bitcoin itself has weakened relative to the broader market. Total crypto market capitalization continues to look fragile, and Craig believes many altcoin holders have simply reached a point of exhaustion, holding positions despite large losses rather than actively selling.For now, Craig’s outlook remains straightforward. The trends across nearly every major timeframe continue pointing lower. He is watching closely to see whether Bitcoin breaks the May monthly low, which could trigger another significant leg down. Until the charts show otherwise, he believes patience remains the best strategy.For deeper market analysis and Craig’s weekly outlook, visit The Grow Me Co.For Craig’s trend scanner and trading tools, check out Market Intern.
