Bitcoin Dominance Soars, But Key Indicators Flash Bearish Signals
The report highlights a concerning unraveling in Ethereum (ETH). While ETH had previously ridden a wave of optimism fueled by ETF developments, it is now reportedly buckling under the weight of overleveraged futures positions. This current weakness contrasts sharply with earlier sentiment, as detailed in 10x Research’s June 5 report, which questioned the true nature of ETH ETF inflows.
Beyond Ethereum’s specific vulnerabilities, the report points to broader systemic concerns:
- Drying Liquidity: “Market-based liquidity,” often a silent engine for market rallies, has quietly begun to dissipate. This reduction in available capital could impede future upward price movements.
- Stablecoin Flows: Even the often-overlooked stablecoin flows are painting a telling picture, indicating that some of the market’s largest buyers are pulling back as the summer approaches.
As these fundamental shifts occur, key technical support levels across the market are being tested. The central argument of the 10x Research report is that both BTC and Ethereum are undergoing significant corrections, signaling a clear shift from previously bullish trends to bearish ones.
The report specifically highlighted Ethereum‘s vulnerability to breaking below the $2,420 level, a scenario that is now playing out. More critically, 10x Research warns that two significant indicators are on the verge of flipping bearish for Bitcoin. This potential inflection point for the leading cryptocurrency could have widespread and profound implications across the entire crypto market, including further impacting Ethereum.
The question remains: what’s driving this stall, and what could happen if these crucial support levels fail to hold? The report suggests a period of heightened caution for investors as these bearish signals emerge.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
