“The news about my death is greatly exaggerated.” Guess what, bitcoin is dead – again. At least according to people who search for that on Google and, of course, those who proclaim its demise.

Such instances in the past, though, have been followed by intense rallies as BTC typically tends to move in the opposite direction of what the crowd expects from it.

Bitcoin Is Dead Searches on the Rise

It’s worth noting that when we tried to recreate the same search for “Bitcoin Is Dead” on Google Trends, the results were somewhat different from what Rekt Fencer reported. The analyst said these queries on the world’s largest search engine had just hit ATHs, but our graph showed that the peak was in December 2025.

The levels are still quite high now, and have risen in the past few weeks, especially since BTC’s price tumbled from $90,000 to $60,000 by February 6. The retail crowd, which is usually Google Trends’ user base, has increased the searches for bitcoin’s untimely death.

Interestingly, the number of queries now is a lot higher than what happened after the FTX crash in late 2022. At the time, the uncertainty levels were through the roof, with many questioning the overall state of the market since one of its giants had just collapsed in days. Shortly after, bitcoin crumbled to $16,000 in what was a full-on bear market.

BTC’s crash at the time was for more than 75%, while this time, it retraced by a more modest 52% from top to bottom. Yet the crowd’s sentiment seems much more fragile now. However, most comments below Rekt Fencer’s post agreed that such negative feelings typically lead to immediate and impressive price reversals.

Dead 477 Times

Bitcoin used to be proclaimed dead so many times in the past, especially in its early and more volatile days, that websites had to be created to track all those obituaries. Two of the most popular ones – the obituaries page at 99bitcoins and bitcoindeaths – show close numbers. According to the former, BTC has been called dead 467 times, while the latter shows 477 such occasions.

The last such examples were from February when one Deutsche Bank strategist said BTC must no longer be considered ‘digital gold,’ or a Financial Times columnist argued that even at $69,000, BTC’s price is still too high.

Well, bitcoin didn’t die after each of those 467/477 death proclamations. Just the opposite; it returned stronger than ever, attracting new sorts of investors, reaching new price peaks, growing its network usage, and so on. Why should we believe things should be any different now?

China Launches Cross-Border QR Code Payment Trial

This pilot addresses cross-border fund risks, aiming to enhance financial security amid rising money laundering through digital channels, despite muted crypto market reactions. China’s Cross-Border Payment Gateway Trial with Alipay The trial operation of a unified cross-border QR code payment gateway marks a milestone in China’s financial landscape. Prominent entities such as Alipay and Ant International are at the forefront, participating as the initial institutions in this venture. Lu Lei, Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China, highlighted the systemic risks posed by increased cross-border fund flows. Changes are expected in the dynamics of digital transactions, potentially enhancing transaction efficiency while tightening regulations around illicit finance. The initiative underscores China’s commitment to bolstering financial security amidst growing global fund movements. “The scale of cross-border fund flows is expanding, and the frequency is accelerating, providing opportunities for risks such as cross-border money laundering and terrorist financing. Some overseas illegal platforms transfer funds through channels such as virtual currencies and underground banks, creating a ‘resonance’ of risks at home and abroad, posing a challenge to China’s foreign exchange management and financial security.” — Lu Lei, Deputy Governor, People’s Bank of China Bitcoin and Impact of China’s Financial Initiatives Did you know?

GBP/USD has moved into a range-trading phase – UOB Group

GBP/USD has moved into a range-trading phase – UOB Group

The post GBP/USD has moved into a range-trading phase – UOB Group appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pound Sterling (GBP) has moved into a range-trading phase; softening underlying tone suggests it is likely to test the lower end of the 1.3470/1.3650 range first, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note. GBP/USD is likely to test the lower end of the 1.3470/1.3650 range 24-HOUR VIEW: “After GBP briefly rose to 1.3726 two days ago and then plummeted, we indicated yesterday that ‘the brief rise did not result in any increase in upward momentum.’ We were of the view that GBP ‘is likely to range-trade between 1.3600 and 1.3665.’ GBP subsequently edged up to 1.3661 and then plummeted to a low of 1.3534. While the sharp drop has scope to extend, the decline is quickly approaching oversold level, and any further downside is likely limited to a test of 1.3520. The next support at 1.3470 is unlikely to come into view. To keep the momentum, GBP must hold below 1.3600, with minor resistance at 1.3575.” 1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Two days ago (17 Sep, spot at 1.3655), we highlighted that ‘there is room for further GBP gains toward 1.3700.’ We also highlighted that ‘the odds of an extended rise to 1.3765 are currently lower.’ After GBP rose to 1.3726 and then pulled back sharply, we highlighted yesterday (18 Sep, spot at 1.3635) that ‘there has been no further increase in upward momentum, and the odds of GBP rising to 1.3765 have diminished noticeably.’ We pointed out that ‘only a breach of 1.3575 (‘strong support’ level) would indicate that GBP has moved into a range-trading phase.’ GBP then breached 1.3575, dropping to a low of 1.3534. GBP appears to have moved into a range-trading phase, but the softening underlying tone suggests it is likely to test the lower end of the 1.3470/1.3650 range first.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/gbp-usd-has-moved-into-a-range-trading-phase-uob-group-202509191115
