After recording the highest monthly close in May, Bitcoin (BTC) is on the precipice of a major parabolic rally in the near future. The flagship coin successfully rebounded from a previous weekly resistance level of around $104k and is now signaling the onset of a fresh rally.
Moreover, the heavy crypto liquidations in the past few days have cooled down the leveraged market, thus setting the stage for a fresh bull run. Additionally, Bitcoin’s Futures Open Interest (OI) has gradually increased in the past two months from around $47 billion to about $71 billion on June 3, during the late-North American trading session.
Whale Investors on a Shopping Spree for Bitcoin
According to on-chain data analysis from Santiment, around 151,820 Bitcoin wallets holding between 10 and 10k BTCs accumulated 79,244 coins in the past week. Consequently, the cohort now holds a cumulative 13.57 million Bitcoin.
As Coinpedia has reported in the past, Strategy has led more companies to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury management tool in the recent past. For instance, Reitar Logtech plans to raise $1.5 Billion to acquire BTC for its corporate treasury.
What Next for BTC Price
Bitcoin price has favored bullish sentiment in the past few weeks following the positive developments of the tariffs negotiations led by the United States. With gold price signaling a potential rally towards a new all-time high, Bitcoin price is well positioned to follow in tandem ahead.
From a technical analysis standpoint, BTC price is on the cusp of a major parabolic rally in the coming weeks, possibly akin to the 2017 summer. According to crypto analyst Gert van Lagen, Bitcoin price is en route to reaching $320k in the near future, especially after last month’s bullish confirmation.

Presto executive Peter Chung has reaffirmed the bullish stance of his company on Bitcoin price. Chung, in a recent CNBC interview, said that they did not alter their market view.
The price forecast comes as Chung referred to as a “healthy correction” in the crypto market. He suggested that the recent pullback has “paved the way for the further rewriting of Bitcoin as a mainstream asset.” His indication is that the temporary setback could strengthen Bitcoin’s positioning in the financial ecosystem.
Peter Chung maintains his Bitcoin price target
Chung maintained a Bitcoin price target of $210,000 for 2025 despite recent market volatility. “So Bitcoin target price remains $210,000 and driven by institutional adoption and global liquidity expansion,” Chung stated in the interview.
He offered insights into Bitcoin’s market behavior and described it as having “two faces.” These are functioning as both digital gold and a risk-on asset depending on market conditions. Chung clarified that Bitcoin generally acts as a risk-on asset under regular market times. This is because its value is sourced from “user adoption and network effect, very much like an internet company.”
But Chung noted that Bitcoin displays gold-like characteristics under certain crisis situations, especially “when the market has concerns regarding the stability of the US dollar-dominated financial system.” He cited several historical examples where this pattern emerged. This includes the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, the Silicon Valley Bank collapse in early 2023, and most recently, in the aftermath of the “Liberation Day” tariff announcements.
“It was during a crisis that the Bitcoin behaves like gold because it’s designed after the physical gold in terms of digital scarcity and so forth,” Chung stated. This dual nature helps explain Bitcoin’s recent price action during April’s market volatility, according to Chung. “Bitcoin is just doing what it does, which is sometimes it acts like a risk-on asset most of the time. But during the crisis, it acts like gold. And that’s what we saw in the month of April.”
Chung views the market correction as healthy
While acknowledging that macro events haven’t happened as anticipated, Chung mentioned the recent market pullback as ultimately beneficial for Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. “In hindsight, I think it was actually a healthy correction, which have paved the way for the further rewriting of the Bitcoin as a mainstream asset,” he stated during the interview.
This perspective suggests that Presto’s analysis views temporary price declines as opportunities for market participants to reassess Bitcoin’s fundamental value proposition and role within investment portfolios. Chung mentioned that his team has been focused on deciding whether the recent volatility revealed any structural issues in crypto markets.
The comments from Chung come as MicroStrategy has bagged 15,355 Bitcoin for $1.42 billion. These acquisitions from large firms can help drive the price of Bitcoin higher in the long term.
As per the latest data, the Bitcoin price is trading at $93,000 at press time.
Pi Network (PI) is under mounting pressure as technical indicators and community sentiment become increasingly bearish. Despite a 23% gain over the past week, PI has plunged 44% in just four days, falling below the $1 mark following backlash over its $100 million fund launch.
Indicators like the Ichimoku Cloud and BBTrend show fading momentum, with no signs of a reversal. PI may remain vulnerable to further downside if key resistance levels are reclaimed and buying pressure returns.
PI Struggles Below Cloud as Bearish Momentum Persists
The Ichimoku Cloud chart for Pi Network (PI) shows signs of ongoing weakness following a sharp decline. Price action is below the Kijun-sen (red line) and close to the Tenkan-sen (blue line), indicating that short-term momentum remains bearish.
The recent candles also interact with the lower boundary of the Kumo Cloud (green/red shaded area), showing hesitation in regaining upward traction.
The Chikou Span (green lagging line) is now positioned below the price candles, further reinforcing a bearish outlook.
Despite the current consolidation near the cloud’s edge, there’s no strong signal yet of a reversal. The leading span lines that form the Kumo ahead are flat and slightly downward-sloping, suggesting limited bullish support in the near term.
For sentiment to shift, PI must break decisively above both the Kijun-sen and the cloud, confirming a potential trend reversal.
Until then, the chart favors caution, with bears still holding the upper hand.
Pi Network Trend Strength Collapses as BBTrend Falls to 10.63
Pi Network’s BBTrend indicator has sharply declined to 10.63, after peaking near 48 just two days ago and dropping to 32 yesterday.
The BBTrend (Bollinger Band Trend) measures the strength of a price trend by comparing the width of Bollinger Bands to price volatility.
Higher values typically reflect strong trending behavior—either bullish or bearish—while lower values suggest sideways movement or weakening momentum.
At 10.63, Pi’s BBTrend suggests the asset may enter a neutral phase, where volatility contracts and price could range without clear direction unless a new breakout or breakdown develops.
Community Backlash Grows as Pi Network Drops Below $1 After Fund Launch
Following the announcement of its $100 million Pi Network Ventures fund, Pi Network is facing growing pressure from both its community and the market.
Despite launching the initiative to boost ecosystem growth and real-world adoption, critics argue that the project has failed to deliver on key promises—such as launching 100 decentralized apps (DApps), timely KYC processes, and referral rewards.
Many Pioneers see the fund as a distraction from unresolved issues, especially since applications are collected via a simple Google Form. Market sentiment reflected this frustration, with PI’s price dropping below $1 and falling 44% over the last four days.
Technically, PI’s indicators support the bearish outlook. Momentum signals like the DMI and CMF show declining strength and increased distribution, while the EMA lines are tightening and hinting at possible death crosses.
Even though PI has been up 23% over the last seven days, the recent price action suggests a loss of confidence and potential for further downside.
If the token fails to hold the key $0.80 support level, it could decline toward $0.57—but if momentum returns, a breakout above $0.94 could open the path to $1.30 or even $1.67.
