Bitcoin's near-term direction is framed by two closely timed U.S. macro releases: the May CPI report on June 10 and the FOMC dot plot update on June 17. The analysis argues these events could drive a roughly ±10% BTC move by shifting rate-cut expectations, real yields, the U.S. dollar (DXY), and risk appetite. Key chart levels highlighted include $68,000 resistance and support around $63,500, with a daily close below $62,500 pointing to $60,000.

Ethereum (ETH) slid to nearly $1,600 as selling pressure pushed the daily RSI down to 13.96, a capitulation-level reading. Large holders stepped in, including a $55.8 million buy for 35,723 ETH near $1,563, while another investor used $142 million in USDT borrowed from Aave to accumulate 87,680 ETH at an average $1,620. With ETF redemptions still pressuring the market, leveraged demand adds downside risk, including a liquidation area near $1,354.

On 7 June 2026, Vietnam’s State Securities Commission (SSC) vice chairman described crypto assets as a new pillar of the country’s digital economy, as the SSC and Ministry of Finance move forward with a five-year pilot aimed at launching a domestic trading platform in Q3 2026.

Bitcoin dropped below its 200-week moving average and traded at $62,495 on Friday morning, while Ethereum and broader altcoins also sold off.

XRP Ledger's daily active users moved back above 200,000 for the first time since March, with activity hitting about 215,399 on June 5.

On June 7, 2026, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said Zcash users would remain safe if the recently disclosed Orchard vulnerability was never exploited, even if they do not move funds to a new pool. He argued that "forgotten" coins would simply sit in a deprecated, more isolated pool while staying accessible to their owners. Developers are pursuing the Ironwood plan as ZEC has fallen by more than 40% amid the uncertainty.
