Analysis: Bitcoin's dip buying is absorbing some selling pressure, but it is still insufficient to reverse the downward trend

2026.05.31 18:48:33

### FLASH: May 31 Bitcoin Market Update Selling pressure on Bitcoin spot ETFs continues to mount. Following a $12.6 billion net outflow last week, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw another $14.2 billion in net outflows this week, briefly pulling BTC down to $72,500. However, on-chain and market data show some funds are starting to buy the dip around $70,000. Spot market buying has absorbed a portion of the selling pressure and provided price support, though buying volume remains insufficient to reverse the current downtrend. Derivatives market data adds that traders added roughly $300 million in long leveraged positions in the $73,000 to $74,000 range, signaling some investors are betting on a price rebound. Additionally, the order book depth ratio has turned positive, meaning the market views BTC as attractive below $75,000. To push Bitcoin back into an uptrend, the market still needs new catalysts, including progress in the U.S.-Iran peace agreement, a reversal of spot ETF net outflows (i.e., net inflows), falling oil prices, and bullish news related to the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. This rewrite follows U.S. financial news tone—concise, direct, and industry-standard terminology (e.g., "buy the dip," "net outflows," "long leveraged positions") that aligns with how English-speaking crypto/finance audiences read market updates.

Midnight announces its mainnet will soon enable smart contract deployment, supporting the issuance of privacy tokens.

Privacy public blockchain Midnight’s Chief Technology Officer Sebastien Guillemot stated in a post that Midnight’s mainnet is soon to open smart contract deployment, enabling users to deploy privacy smart contracts and create custom privacy tokens. Development work will continue advancing after the mainnet rolls out smart contract deployment. Currently, the testnet is running the next version of smart contracts, with added features including events and composability; the team is working to deploy these features to the mainnet in subsequent upgrades. Guillemot added that users can create their own tokens and trade them between privacy ledgers and public ledgers. Once live, these tokens can integrate with select DeFi functions via Offer Files, and will unlock more use cases as composable smart contract upgrades roll out.

Universal announced it will gradually shut down its protocol, with plans to cease operations on November 17.

Universal officially announced that due to user adoption failing to reach the level required for long-term protocol sustainability over the past two years, the team has decided to gradually wind down the Universal protocol. The protocol will remain fully operational for the next 60 days, with existing infrastructure and underlying asset support for uAssets unaffected. The wind-down period will last until November 17, 2026. During this period, users can sell uAssets via the Universal app or directly redeem underlying assets through the minting and redemption interface; large redemptions can be processed by contacting the team. After November 17, the protocol will officially shut down, and remaining uAssets will be redeemed via smart contracts. Per current plans, uSOL, uXRP, uDOGE, uADA, uBTC, and uLTC on Base will each be converted to their corresponding bridged assets, while other uAssets will be converted to USDC. Final redemption assets and smart contract details will be announced before the shutdown. Universal noted that over the past two years, the protocol has supported more than 80 assets, facilitated their entry into various blockchain ecosystems, and promoted cross-ecosystem transactions, but ultimately failed to meet expected adoption levels, leading to the decision to cease operations.
