Bitcoin slid to $76,711 Monday morning on Bitstamp — perpetuals $76,785 (−1.59% 24h). Crypto longs lost $563M over the weekend per CoinDesk, ETH and BTC leading the cascade. CoinDesk framed it: “Bitcoin slides under $77,000 as oil shock and Treasury yields hit risk.” HYPE bucked +6.12% on SpaceX pre-IPO perpetuals on Hyperliquid via Trade.xyz at $1.78T.
The Big Three
$563M in liquidations hit crypto longs over the weekend per CoinDesk. ETH −3.06% to $2,114, BTC printed $76,711 Monday. Long-term holders sit tight per Binance Research with exchange balances near six-year lows, but underwater short-term holders left BTC vulnerable. 50-DMA $75,733 is active; lower BB $75,637 below.
Oil shock is the new driver. WTI +1.58% to $103.13, Brent +1.58% to $106.59. CoinTelegraph reports Iran is mulling a Hormuz “insurance” scheme paid in Bitcoin — bizarre framing but cited as tail-risk catalyst. Tom Lee said surging oil drove ETH selling. The overlay that broke Brazil’s Real above R$5.00 Friday is compounded by energy inflation.
HYPE bucked at +6.12% to $45.20. Trade.xyz launched the first pre-IPO perpetual on Hyperliquid for synthetic SpaceX exposure at $1.78T — SpaceX targets June 11–12 Nasdaq IPO. The Verus Ethereum bridge was exploited for $11.6M — another cross-chain hack after Thorchain and Kelp. NYDIG warned the Senate Clarity Act is at risk beyond midterms if not passed by August.

§04 · Market Commentary
The weekend extended Friday’s Warsh crash into an oil-shock leg. $563M in long liquidations hit crypto per CoinDesk as analysts began debating a “sell in May” bear setup. The new driver is energy: WTI $103.13, Brent $106.59, with CoinTelegraph reporting Iran is mulling a Hormuz “insurance” scheme paid in Bitcoin. Tom Lee called out oil driving ETH selling. Treasury yields at highest since mid-2025; Bank of America still calls the first Fed cut H2 2027.
The pipeline keeps building. SpaceX targets June 11–12 Nasdaq IPO; Trade.xyz launched SpaceX pre-IPO perpetuals on Hyperliquid at $1.78T, driving HYPE +6%. Grayscale and VanEck amended spot BNB ETF filings. SBI, Rakuten, Nomura racing for Japanese crypto trusts. Intesa Sanpaolo doubled crypto holdings to $235M Q1. Saylor signaled another BTC buy. But NYDIG warned the Senate Clarity Act is at risk beyond midterms if not passed by August.

07 Questions & Answers
Verdict
The breakdown is now a three-leg sequence: Friday’s Warsh crash, Saturday’s $1B ETF outflow, weekend’s $563M long liquidations with oil-shock follow-through. The 50-DMA at $75,733 and lower BB at $75,637 form clustered support 1.4% below — the test deciding consolidation vs capitulation. SpaceX pre-IPO and institutional flows provide structural backdrop, but oil and yields dominate the tape. Long-term holders anchored per Binance Research.
