Market Still Not Bottomed: Deep Bitcoin Bear Market Analysis

Recent market movements suggest Bitcoin remains in a bear market phase rather than entering extreme capitulation territory. This indicates the asset may not have formed its ultimate bottom yet.

  • Historical data shows Bitcoin's definitive bear market bottom typically forms around the realized price level, currently sitting at approximately $55,000.
  • Compared to current prices, this represents a potential downside of over 25%. Previous bear markets saw prices drop 24-30% below realized price.
  • While February 5th saw $54 billion in realized losses - the highest since March 2023 - monthly cumulative losses remain far below historical bottom levels.

Critical Metric Analysis

Analysis of MVRV ratios, NUPL indicators, and long-term holder behavior reveals these metrics haven't entered extreme undervaluation territory yet. Historically, after finding the bottom, prices consolidate at these levels for 4-6 months before resuming bullish cycles.
