Bitcoin&#8217;s market cap has dropped to roughly $1.46 trillion, pushing it below 
several major technology companies and commodities in global asset rankings.

Burn Gold Holds Top Spot As BTC Slides Gold remains the world&#8217;s most valuable 
asset at nearly $31 trillion, with Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, 
TSMC, Broadcom, Saudi Aramco, Tesla, and Meta Platforms all ranked above 
Bitcoin. The drop reflects mounting pressure on the cryptocurrency from 
multiple fronts — including rising inflation, geopolitical conflict, and 
weakening investor sentiment. Ki Young Ju, chief executive of crypto analytics 
firm CryptoQuant, now says the bear market could stretch into early 2027. His 
assessment is based on an on-chain profitability model that tracks how long 
investor losses typically drag on once profit-taking begins to unwind. Once 
profit-taking cascades, Bitcoin investors&#8217; PnL typically falls for about 18 
months. Since the trend turned in Oct 2025, the bear market could last until 
early 2027. The trend only changes when unrealized profits rise and realized 
profits fall. We&#8217;re not there yet. pic.twitter.com/fQyIRLu8vv — Ki Young Ju 
(@ki_young_ju) May 29, 2026 According to Ju, the decline in investor profits 
started in October 2025. He argues the trend has followed a roughly 18-month 
pattern seen in previous downturns, pointing to similar cycles in 2014, 2018, 
and 2022. Bear Market Clock Started In October 2025 The CryptoQuant PnL Index 
Signal — a chart that measures investor profitability using 365-day moving 
averages — shows the indicator rolling over after hitting a peak last year. Ju 
posted the chart on X, noting that a recovery will only be confirmed when 
unrealized profits rise while realized profits fall. That shift has not 
happened yet, he said. Bitcoin was trading near $73,289 at the time of the 
report, down slightly over a 24-hour period. Data from CoinGlass shows total 
open interest in the derivatives market fell to around $55 billion, while 
liquidations over the same period hit close to $224 million. Long Traders Take 
The Brunt Of The Damage Long positions bore the bulk of those losses. Over $30 
million in bullish bets were wiped out in 24 hours, compared to around $17 
million in short liquidations. Despite those figures, the long-short ratio on 
major exchanges including Binance and OKX still leans bullish. Related

macroeconomic conditions are adding to the pressure. US PCE inflation climbed 
to 3.8% year-over-year in April, and Fed rate hike odds have risen sharply in 
response. Reports indicate that tensions between the US and Iran have also 
rattled global markets, with risk sentiment across crypto continuing to 
weaken. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
