In 2026, choosing where to deposit in DeFi starts with a question that audits 
and total value locked (TVL) leave unresolved: what breaks under stress? That 
is the shift behind any serious trust check this year. A Q1 2026 security 
report counted $482 million stolen across 44 incidents and said six audited

How to choose a safe DeFi platform before you deposit in 2026

Bitcoin’s recovery attempt has carried it back above $80,000 for the first 
time since late January 2026, giving bulls a reason to argue that the worst of 
the recent correction has passed. However, one crypto analyst believes the 
move is running directly into the level that could decide how May ends for 
BTC. In a technical outlook shared on X, crypto analyst Leshka warned that 
Bitcoin is likely to close May in the red, pointing to a bear flag structure 
playing out on the daily chart. Why Bitcoin Will Close May In Red Leshka’s 
outlook on Bitcoin is based on its price action since the February dump. The 
daily candlestick timeframe chart shows BTC recovering inside an ascending 
channel, with price grinding higher from the $60,000 region into the $80,000 
range at the time of writing. This recovery looks constructive because the 
movement has caused Bitcoin to print higher lows and higher highs since the 
February low. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash Is Coming: Pundit Says It’s Time 
To Sell All Your BTC However, Leshka interprets the same structure 
differently. According to the analyst, the rising channel is a bear flag 
currently in formation. A bear flag usually appears when price bounces upward 
in a controlled channel after a major drop, only to later break below the 
structure and continue lower. As shown in the chart below, Bitcoin’s recent 
advance is shown pressing on the upper boundary of the ascending channel, and 
this is around the same area where the 200-day moving average is located. 
Interestingly, Bitcoin has gone seven months without a daily close above this 
moving average, and this makes it a major line between a recovery rally and a 
confirmed trend reversal. At the time of writing, the 200 MA is around 
$82,000. The outlook here depends on how the Bitcoin price reacts to this 
level. The projected bearish path proposed by the analyst shows Bitcoin making 
one final push into the resistance/200 MA confluence before reversing lower, 
losing the channel, and falling back to the $58,000 to $56,000 range by June. 
BTC’s May Record Faces A Major Test Bitcoin is already up 7.11% so far in May 
2026. Bitcoin&#8217;s monthly return table shows that May has often been one of its 
stronger months, with an average gain of 18.7% and a median return of 8.32% 
across previous years. Bitcoin&#8217;s price action for May in the last two years 
was positive, with the cryptocurrency gaining 11.1% in both May 2024 and May 
2025. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Big Picture, Predicts 50% Crash 
By EOY That historical strength is what makes this prediction more 
interesting. The problem is that the rally is now pressing into the exact 
resistance zone where the 200-day moving average is situated. Previous red May 
closes have also appeared during difficult market phases, including a 35.4% 
decline in May 2021, a 15.9% decline in May 2022, and a 7.10% decline in May 
2023. Leshka’s view is that 2026 could join that group if the current move 
fails at the top of the ascending channel. Featured image from Getty Images,
