Bitcoin could be nearing a major turning point in the current market cycle, according to CryptoQuant. However, despite encouraging on-chain indicators, the broader demand picture suggests that a definitive bottom has yet to be established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-Chain Metrics Hint at a Potential Floor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dropping to a fresh bear market low of $59,000<\/strong> last week, Bitcoin has managed to recover modestly and is now trading roughly 9% above its realized price of $53,600<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CryptoQuant analysts noted that the realized price\u2014representing the average on-chain acquisition cost of all Bitcoin holders\u2014has historically served as a key valuation benchmark during market downturns. In previous cycles, Bitcoin often found its bottom near, or slightly below, this level before beginning a sustained recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent exception occurred during the collapse of FTX in November 2022, when Bitcoin briefly traded below its realized price before staging a rebound. Based on this historical pattern, analysts believe the cryptocurrency may be approaching a valuation zone that has traditionally marked the beginning of accumulation phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand Remains the Missing Piece<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While valuation metrics offer reasons for optimism, CryptoQuant emphasized that a lasting recovery cannot occur without a meaningful improvement in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm pointed out that both speculative futures activity and spot market demand continue to weaken, raising concerns that Bitcoin may not yet be ready for a bullish reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combined demand from futures traders and apparent spot buyers declined to negative 652,000 BTC last week<\/strong>, marking the sharpest contraction since January 2022<\/strong>. The data also showed that long-term spot demand\u2014measured by annual growth in apparent demand\u2014has turned negative and fallen to its weakest level since February 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a sustained return of buyers, analysts warned that Bitcoin could either remain trapped in a prolonged consolidation phase or revisit lower price levels before establishing a confirmed bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETF Flows Signal Institutional Caution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another area of concern is the spot Bitcoin ETF market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CryptoQuant reported that demand growth among spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds is shrinking at its fastest pace since these products launched in January 2024<\/strong>. The 30-day ETF demand growth metric has fallen into deeply negative territory, suggesting that institutional investors in the United States have slowed their participation and, in some cases, shifted toward net selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This decline in ETF demand has contributed to a broader expansion in market supply, further complicating the outlook for a near-term recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capitulation Has Yet to Occur<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts also observed that realized losses among Bitcoin holders have not reached the levels typically associated with market capitulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, major market bottoms are often accompanied by a sharp spike in realized losses as exhausted investors exit their positions. The absence of such a capitulation event suggests that selling pressure may not have fully run its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Floor Candidate, Not a Confirmed Bottom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bitcoin\u2019s proximity to its realized price indicates that the asset may be trading near an important valuation floor, CryptoQuant stopped short of declaring that the bear market has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the firm, several conditions still need to improve before a cycle bottom can be confirmed. Total demand must stabilize, spot ETF inflows need to recover, and realized losses should reach levels consistent with investor capitulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until those signals emerge, the current price range should be viewed as a potential bottoming zone rather than definitive proof that Bitcoin has entered its next bullish phase<\/strong>.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
