“Is Bitcoin flashing bear market continuation, or an early bull market reset?” asked Fidelity Digital Assets on Tuesday. The asset manager noted that BTC has been in a death cross for more than 200 days, with the price briefly breaking below the 200-week moving average over the weekend. “Notably, sustained breaks below this level have historically coincided with forced selling events,” such as in 2022, it added. These are also signs of a final capitulation during the depths of the bear market, which is currently only 8 months old.

Signs of Bear Market Bottom Forming Fidelity also observed that MVRV (market value to realized value) is moving toward historically undervalued territory as the asset approaches the realized price of $53,600, which is the aggregate purchase price.

When this happens, “capitulation is beginning to ease, and trend expansion is possible again,” but until then, “the base case remains fragile,” they added. 10x Research analysts said something similar on Tuesday. “The market is unwinding, but BTC is building a base.” However, Bitcoin dominance is falling, stablecoin reserves are falling, Strategy remains a serious headwind , and the beginning of the football World Cup has been flagged as a potential BTC cycle low, they said. “Data supports BTC carving out a base, with higher prices expected through Q3/Q4 … Regulated derivatives infrastructure is expanding. This matters for the next leg up.” Bitcoin Price Outlook Bitcoin attempted recovery on Monday, tapping $64,000, but there was little momentum above that, with the asset falling to an intraday low of $62,500 during Asian trading on Tuesday morning. It has started to consolidate at current levels over the past five days and could hover around this price zone for the next few months, as it did between March and October 2024.
