As Bitcoin (BTC) takes a breather before breaking past $82,200, optimistic forecasts are gaining traction, suggesting that new capital flowing into the market and a robust price structure will drive further gains.

According to investment media FXStreet on May 11 (local time), renowned crypto expert Michael van de Poppe analyzed that despite recent corrections, Bitcoin's upward trajectory remains valid. He particularly highlighted that BTC is trading above its 21-day Moving Average (MA) and maintaining a rising structure of higher lows and higher highs as strong bullish indicators. The next major resistance zone identified by the expert is between $86,549 and $90,364.

A key driver of this uptrend is the large amount of capital that has begun to flow back into the network. According to CryptoQuant data, the 'Bitcoin Realized Cap Net Position Change' indicator, which tracks the aggregate cost basis of all circulating Bitcoins, turned positive at the beginning of May 2026. This is the first time since January that new funds have shown a net inflow into the market, interpreted as a strong signal of a trend reversal.

From a technical perspective, some recent price adjustments are interpreted as a process to fill the $80,515 gap that occurred on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in the US. Experts believe that if new liquidity continues to flow in after these technical gaps are filled, the uptrend will accelerate. However, caution is also advised, as the bullish scenario could lose momentum if capital inflows turn negative again.

Conversely, vigilance against downside risks cannot be relaxed. Experts warned that if the liquidity zone between $71,438 and $73,408 collapses, the short-term bullish outlook could be invalidated. If this support level breaks, $65,117 would become the primary defense line, and in the worst-case scenario, a drop to the bear market bottom between $59,600 and $60,749 cannot be ruled out.

Meanwhile, XRP (Ripple) has once again become a hot topic in the market as its role as a payment infrastructure was emphasized in internal announcements from the International Financial Bank (IFB). With the combination of new capital inflows and adoption by the financial sector, the crypto market in 2026 is expected to enter a new phase beyond mere profitability.
