In April, the CPI in the United States increased by 3.8% year-on-year, reaching a new high since May 2023, exceeding the market expectation of 3.7%. Previously, on May 8, Bank of America economists stated in a report to clients that due to inflationary pressures remaining above expectations and robust job growth, they have abandoned their earlier predictions of rate cuts in September and October this year, postponing the first rate cut to the second half of 2027.The previous view was based on the expectation that Trump would nominate Kevin Warsh to replace Powell as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, leading to a more accommodative policy. However, with changes in the economic situation, this view has shifted. The report mentioned, "We no longer expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates this year." They also pointed out that multiple shock factors affecting the economy, including the war in Iran, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence, have made predicting interest rate changes more difficult.

The Bitcoin bull-bear cycle indicator from CryptoQuant has recently turned green for the first time since 2023. On-chain analyst Julio Moreno stated that this usually indicates the market is switching from a bear market structure to a recovery phase. Moreno pointed out that historically, when this indicator exits the bear market zone and enters the "Early Bull" range, it often means that the worst adjustment phase has ended and the market structure begins to repair. However, several analysts emphasize that this indicator is more suitable for judging market phase transitions rather than precise trading signals. Mati Greenspan, founder of Quantum Economics, stated that the greatest significance of such indicators lies in determining "whether Bitcoin has stopped behaving like a bear market asset," and real confirmation still requires sustained demand, improved liquidity, and prices stabilizing at key levels. Currently, Bitcoin has not effectively broken through the $82,000 resistance level. Although it has rebounded about 35% from a low of around $60,000 in February this year, the market remains in a tug-of-war state. Moreno believes that to truly confirm a bull market signal, Bitcoin needs to digest some current "weakness" indicators while facing pressure from a neutral greed-fear index and a complex macro environment. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and CIO of Maelstrom, believes that Bitcoin has completed a phase of bottoming around $60,000 this year. He stated that once it breaks through $90,000, the market may enter an "explosive phase," targeting the previous high of $126,000. Meanwhile, some analysts also remind that on-chain indicators like MVRV and NUPL are essentially more aligned with a "behavioral cycle framework" and should not be seen as absolute predictive tools.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Bond Company CEO Pierre Rochard stated that the current fourth bear market of Bitcoin has significantly decoupled from past cycles and is performing stronger. In the previous cycles, the maximum drawdown was about 85% from 2013-2015, nearly 77% from 2017-2018 and 2021-2022, while this round has dropped from a historical high of about $126,000 to around $60,000, with a maximum drawdown of only about 52%.Rochard believes that this resilience mainly comes from two new demands: the cumulative net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs exceeding $59 billion, and continuous purchases by corporate treasuries (such as Strategy holding over 818,000 BTC). These institutional demands did not exist during the bear markets of 2018 and 2022.Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, also stated that the current market is no longer the same environment as in 2022, and the view that "Bitcoin will break out of the bear flag pattern and bottom in October 2026" may be the most crowded trading expectation.

According to CoinDesk, Denis Beau, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, has publicly called for a joint effort from the European public and private sectors to promote the development of euro tokenized currency in response to the dominance of the US dollar stablecoin. This move stands in stark contrast to the position of European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who is cautious about private stablecoins, believing that USDT, USDC, and others pose financial stability risks, and favors a central bank-led digital euro plan expected to be implemented by 2029.Beau proposed a "triple objective" for Europe: to adapt central bank currency services, to promote the issuance of pan-European tokenized private currency by regulated institutions, and to strengthen the MiCA regulatory framework. His stance is highly aligned with the Qivalis consortium, which consists of 12 major European banks including ING, BBVA, and BNP Paribas, and plans to launch a private digital euro within this year. Beau also revealed that the euro system will launch its first tokenized wholesale central bank currency service by the end of the year.

Bernstein reiterated its "Outperform" rating on Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR) and maintained a target price of $67, implying about a 72% upside from the current stock price of $38.97. Figure's Q1 2026 performance was strong: loan issuance reached $2.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 113%; adjusted revenue was $167 million, a year-on-year increase of 92%, exceeding market expectations by 6%; adjusted EBITDA was $82.7 million, with a profit margin of about 50%, slightly above market expectations. However, the GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18, about 9% below expectations, primarily impacted by $26 million in equity incentive expenses.Bernstein's analysis suggests that this performance should reshape the market's perception of Figure, as it is not a traditional credit company, but rather a "tokenization-driven capital market platform," with core profits coming from network fees and operational leverage, and it maintains a pricing model based on a 25x EBITDA valuation for 2027. Additionally, the tokenization ecosystem continues to expand: the yield-bearing security token YLDS reached $598 million (up 80% quarter-on-quarter); the balance of stock lending products was $368 million (up 79%); and the small business loan segment contributed $6 million in revenue. Figure's current stock price is still not far from the 2025 IPO issue price of $36, but there remains a significant gap from the historical high of $78.
