Friday, May 29, 2026 · Covering Thursday May 28 session
Summary
Bitcoin price today report: BTC closed essentially flat at 73,567 on Thursday May 28, up 0.07%, refusing to bounce even as US stocks hit records, oil fell and a tentative US-Iran cease-fire extension calmed the tape that broke it below 73,000 a day earlier. Ether reclaimed 2,000, gold and silver caught fresh bids, several altcoins ran hard. But bitcoin stayed pinned, and the story shifted to flows: CryptoQuant flagged a record long-term holder supply hiding a buyer drought, ETF demand has weakened, and the next catalyst is regulatory, not geopolitical.
The Big Three
Bitcoin closed at 73,567, up just 0.07% after Wednesday’s 1.98% break below 73,000. The perpetual tape was firmer at 73,776 (+0.8%), but the spot close still sits below the 200-day line near 75,681 and the moving-average cluster that now caps the chart.
