What Happened
Sui Foundation said three mainnet halts across Thursday and Friday came from two separate bugs in its v1.72 upgrade, confirming the issues are fixed with no user funds at risk.
Market Context
The crypto market opened June on a marginally higher note. It rose 0.16% to add roughly $4 billion as Binance’s mystery product teaser and Michael Saylor’s fresh buy signal helped cool the sell-off fears that defined late May.
Crypto Market Cap Edges Higher After Rebounding From May Low
The total crypto market cap sits near $2.47 trillion. It is up 0.16%, after rebounding from a $2.41 trillion low on May 28. The bounce comes as Binance’s June 1 product reveal, teased on May 29. It was a haystack image that traders read as a possible spot stock trading rollout, handing the market a rare catalyst after a quiet weekend.
That speculative bid, paired with Saylor cooling sell-off fears, gave dip buyers reason to step back in. However, the recovery remains capped. TOTAL must reclaim $2.52 trillion, lost on May 26, to confirm strength toward $2.65 trillion and even $2.71 trillion.
If $2.52 trillion holds as resistance and the market slips under $2.41 trillion, weakness reopens the path toward $2.23 trillion.
Bitcoin Price Holds Range as BTC Dodges Bearish Crossover
Bitcoin trades near $73,732, up 0.21%, after the same risk-on flicker that lifted the broader market helped it negate a bearish setup. The 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), a trend line that weights recent prices more heavily, crossed under the 50-day EMA on May 30, yet a flat weekend close neutralized the signal.
Worldcoin (WLD) Price Surges 13% but Buying Strength Fades
Worldcoin trades near $0.39, up around 13% on the day. It is up over 67% in 30 days, as the broader market rebound gave high-beta tokens room to extend.
Price bottomed near $0.22 on May 17. WLD has climbed inside a rising channel since, clearing key EMAs after a bullish crossover on May 26, 20-EMA crossing above 50-EMA. However, an alarming sign is building now.
The buying strength has dipped since May 30 even as price pushed higher, a divergence that often precedes a pullback.

In the news today:-
A dormant 2010 Bitcoin wallet moved 20 BTC worth roughly $1.47 million after 15.8 years, a transfer Galaxy Research confirmed is not linked to Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Binance catalyst and Saylor’s buy hint kept sellers from pressing the range lower. As a result, the decision zone narrows to a roughly 2% move either way.

BTC must reclaim $74,827 to open the way toward $77,600 and $78,839. A daily close below $72,348 instead exposes broader weakness toward $70,550.
The immediate upside target sits at the channel’s upper trendline near $0.42. It is a 7% move, with a confirmed breakout only above $0.46 as that also clears the 200-day EMA.
On any pullback, the 0.618 Fibonacci level near $0.39 is the first floor. The $0.36 level separates a healthy pullback from a deeper slide toward $0.34 and $0.31.
