Week 7 Year 2026 Highlights – Catch Up on Everything You Missed!


Extreme fear often marks transition, not collapse. This week, whale behavior, sentiment data, and liquidity trends all pointed toward the same question:

Is the market closer to a bottom than a breakdown?

Here is everything you may have missed across the House of Crypto ecosystem.



Key Highlights:

  • YouTube Channel | Seller Exhaustion and Early Bottom Signals

  • The Moon House | Apathy as a Setup for Recovery

  • The Inner Circle | Relief Rally or Lower High?

  • Bitunix | Trade to Unlock Up to 40,000 USDT Prize Pool

House of Crypto YouTube Channel:


Peter highlights nearly 70,000 BTC in single-day whale accumulation and $1B deployed near 66.7K as clear smart-money positioning during panic. Mass realized losses, heavy deleveraging, and washed-out sentiment suggest sellers are largely exhausted. Improving liquidity further supports the case for a forming structural bottom in Bitcoin and select altcoins.

Here’s what our experts have been sharing over the past week:


Apathy as a Setup for Recovery

Market sentiment has shifted from fear to depression and fatigue, historically a late-cycle condition. Post-liquidation environments often stabilize rather than extend downward. With Bitcoin holding near 70K and altcoins reacting positively, conditions appear closer to recovery than renewed collapse. Global participation and business activity continue to signal underlying demand ahead of the next expansion phase.



Bitcoin Seasonality and the Barbell Pattern

Long-term data shows Bitcoin strength clustering in Q1 and Q4, with quieter mid-year periods. Despite sharp drawdowns and occasional negative years, average annual returns remain strong. Volatility is not failure, it is the cost of admission before outsized moves emerge, often when sentiment is weakest.

Here’s what our community’s hive mind has been discussing over the past week:


Relief Rally or Lower High?

Our member's take centered on a possible relief rally designed to pull liquidity before another move lower. His takeaway: Accumulate during fear, avoid chasing momentum, and stay alert to the risk of a lower-high structure forming before true recovery.
