Analyst: Crypto Market Weekend Price Action Sees 'Deleveraging' Rally, Not Reversal
June 8. Cryptocurrency market analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that last Friday (June 5), the crypto market saw its sharpest sell-off of the month, with a net outflow of $236 million. Bitcoin’s price briefly dropped to $60,500.
But buying pressure began to return on June 7. During an 8-hour stretch between 00:00 and 08:00 UTC that day, a pulse candle registered a net inflow of roughly $620 million. Buying momentum carried over into June 8, with an additional $320 million in inflows, pushing Bitcoin’s price up around 3.7% from its recent low to roughly $62,700.

South Korean tech stocks have been among the world’s best-performing equities for some time. Given their highly concentrated market positioning, these stocks were a natural source of liquidity as interest rate expectations shifted following last week’s non-farm payrolls report. The big question right now is whether mega-cap firms will pull back on AI spending. So far, there’s no evidence of that.”
