Crypto Market Update - June 2026

Key Topics

Equities keep making new highs. Bitcoin has barely followed, still down roughly 50% from its October peak. Today, Kevin Warsh hands down his first decision as Fed Chair, and oil has unwound most of its war premium.

In this Crypto Market Update, Sean Farrell and Mark Newton walked through a backdrop where macro and liquidity have quietly improved while crypto has stayed stuck, with Sean returning to the question that keeps coming up:

Has crypto bottomed, or is this just another bounce to fade?

Watch the replay to hear Sean and Mark discuss:

-The one shift Sean keeps coming back to, and why crypto has quietly fallen out of favor again
-The dollar-to-Bitcoin signal Sean has tracked for over a year, and the near-term move it could be signaling
-How Hyperliquid has bucked the trend and outperformed this cycle, and the indicator Sean’s watching that could point to more upside
-What the divergence between crypto and other risk assets is telling Sean
-What today’s Fed decision could set up for crypto in the weeks ahead
-The exact Bitcoin and Ethereum levels Mark Newton is watching to assess whether this bounce has more to give
