June 9: Is SpaceX Draining Liquidity From Crypto?

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.

Craig Cobb Warns: Bitcoin At A Critical Level
Craig Cobb says Bitcoin is approaching a critical moment after last week’s sharp volatility tested one of the most important support zones on the chart. The recent selloff bounced almost perfectly off the old $74,000 breakout level from late 2024, the same area where Bitcoin first launched toward $100,000 after President Trump’s election victory.

Bitcoin Is Running — But the Market Isn’t
Craig’s read right now is pretty straightforward: Bitcoin is still trending higher, printing higher lows and higher highs, but the move doesn’t feel clean or broadly supported. He calls it a “hated rally” — price is moving up, but without strong conviction across the market. The weekly action was messy, volatility spiked, and while Bitcoin has pushed to new highs in this recent leg, he’s watching

Four Weeks Up… But Is This Still a Downtrend?
Craig says Bitcoin is at another critical inflection point after a strong four-week run to the upside, something he hasn’t seen since a true bull phase.

The $74K Line That Decides Everything
Craig lays it out pretty clean: Bitcoin is sitting at a make-or-break level around $74,000, and what happens here likely dictates the next real move. That level used to be major resistance before the last breakout, and now we’re coming back to test it from above. If it holds and we get continuation, you could see a push toward $80K and potentially higher highs. If it fails, we’re likely heading ri

CRAIG COBB: BITCOIN STILL FAILING WHERE IT MATTERS
Craig’s not getting sucked in by a single green candle. Yeah, Bitcoin finally put in a strong week, up over 10%, but to him, that’s just one candle. That’s not a trend. And more importantly, it’s happening right into a level that already matters — old resistance turned support, now acting as resistance again. That same level also lines up with where the monthly trend broke. So this isn’t strength.
