Bitcoin is down about 5% over the past 24 hours after sellers became more active than buyers around the $65,000 resistance level.

The cryptocurrency is stabilizing around $60,000 support and appears to be oversold on intraday charts.

For now, short-term indicators suggest limited downside into Asian trading hours. For example, the relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is the most oversold since Oct. 27, which preceded a near 10% price bounce.

Still, the RSI on the daily chart is neutral as upside momentum continues to wane. This suggests intraday buyers will be quick to take profits around the $63,000-$65,000 resistance zone.

A period of consolidation could persist over the next few days before BTC establishes a stronger footing around the $60,000 support zone.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

The bitcoin treasury firm is using perpetual preferreds to retire convertibles, offering a potential framework for managing long-dated leverage.

What to know:

  • Strive upsized its SATA follow on offering beyond $150 million, pricing the perpetual preferred at $90.
  • The structure offers a blueprint for replacing fixed maturity convertibles with perpetual equity capital that removes refinancing risk.
  • Strategy has a $3 billion convertible tranche due in June 2028 with a $672.40 conversion price, which could be addressed using a similar preferred equity approach.
