How is the 'Bottom Structure' of a Bear Market Formed, and Where Are We Now?

This article analyzes the formation of Bitcoin's bear market "bottom structure" by examining the relationship between cost basis and price action, particularly the behavior of short-term holders (STH). Historically, the cost basis of coins held for 1-3 months (1-3m_RP) has acted as a key resistance level during bear market rallies. This group's supply is often less committed; many entered the market expecting quick gains but were trapped. When the price rebounds to their break-even point, they tend to sell, creating resistance. Data shows that as of mid-April, the 1-3m_RP is approximately $75,400, a level Bitcoin is currently testing for the second time this cycle. The first test in mid-January failed, leading to a pullback. The author suggests a high probability of a similar outcome this time, as historical cycles show the second test rarely results in an immediate reversal. An alternative, less likely scenario is a break above this level, only to face stronger resistance at the broader STH-RP (average cost basis for all short-term holders) near $81,000, where a much larger supply of 2.31 million BTC resides. This could lead to price consolidation around the 1-3m_RP. A definitive bottom structure is confirmed only when the 1-3m_RP trend reverses from down to up, signaling a transition from a bear to a bull market. This process takes time, requiring patience to observe whether breakouts are genuine.

DEXE dumps 15% as seller dominance surges – Warning sign?

DEXE experienced a sharp decline of 15.27%, dropping to $7.6, despite a broader crypto market rebound. The altcoin lost the $8 support level, falling as low as $7.3, and moved below the Parabolic SAR, indicating strong bearish pressure. The drop was driven by increased profit-taking, a surge in seller dominance, and a significant rise in trading volume dominated by selling activity. Open Interest declined slightly while Derivatives Volume spiked, suggesting aggressive position closures. Futures net flow turned negative, reflecting strong bearish sentiment. A recovery above $7.9 could lead to a rebound toward $9.2, but failure may result in a further decline toward $7 or even $5.1.

Bitcoin Under Pressure As Selling Pressure Refuses To Ease In Sideways Market Conditions

Bitcoin's price has been trading sideways between $64,000 and $70,000, but significant selling pressure persists beneath the surface. According to CryptoQuant, this selling is driven primarily by large holders (whales) rather than retail investors. Whale holdings have turned net negative, marking one of the most aggressive distribution cycles on record. Mid-tier and dolphin investors are also accumulating at a declining pace. U.S. demand remains weak, with Coinbase Premium in negative territory. Despite the bearish pressure, a bounce toward $71,500–$81,200 is possible if macroeconomic risks, such as the U.S.-Iran dispute, ease.

Bitcoin down 25% in Q1 – Is crypto’s correction turning bearish?

Bitcoin fell 25% in Q1 2025, raising concerns that the market correction may be turning bearish. The broader financial landscape has shifted significantly due to the ongoing Iran conflict, with oil surging over 50% and Treasury yields rising 13%. In contrast, crypto’s 0.5% drop appeared muted initially, but underlying pressures are mounting. The Federal Reserve is no longer pricing in cuts until late 2027, with a 51% chance of a hike by March 2027, as rising energy prices could push CPI inflation toward 3.5%. This challenges crypto’s role as an inflation hedge. On-chain data shows panic selling, with 21,700 BTC sold at a loss in 24 hours, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is nearing "extreme fear." Weak institutional demand and defensive capital rotation suggest this is more than a routine pullback and could signal the beginning of a broader bear market.

Lighter buybacks hit 3% of supply – But LIT holds above $1 IF…

LIT faces persistent bearish pressure, trading near $1.10 with weekly losses of 23%. Despite a buyback program that repurchased 7.48M tokens (3% of supply) using protocol revenue, market sentiment remains negative. Sell volume dominates, and declining revenue and trading activity suggest continued downside risk. Key support at $1 is at risk of breaking, with further decline possible toward $0.96 unless momentum shifts above $1.30.

XRP nears $1.40 as SOPR signals capitulation: Is recovery ahead?

Ripple (XRP) is approaching $1.40 amid increasing selling pressure, as indicated by the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) falling to 0.96, signaling that investors are realizing losses. This suggests a phase of capitulation, where weaker holders are exiting at a loss. Despite the negative market conditions, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) maintains strong underlying activity, with 1.8–2.5 million daily payments and stable transaction throughput. Active addresses remain steady between 35,000–40,000, indicating consistent user engagement. The current market structure resembles the 2021–2022 cycle, where capitulation and sustained network usage eventually preceded a significant price recovery. A reclaim of SOPR above 1.0 could signal the beginning of market stabilization and a gradual rebound.

Dogecoin active addresses fall 78% – Will DOGE stay below $0.09?

Dogecoin (DOGE) has extended its bearish trend, dropping 10.48% to trade at $0.089 and breaching the key $0.09 support level. The decline is attributed to escalating geopolitical tensions and a broader crypto market sell-off. On-chain activity has plummeted, with active addresses falling 78% since February and the Price DAA Divergence hitting a two-month low of -46%, indicating reduced demand and network usage. Futures markets saw aggressive selling, with net outflows of $77.39 million and significant long liquidations. With strong bearish momentum and dominance by sellers across both futures and spot markets, DOGE risks falling further toward $0.08 unless it reclaims and holds above its short-term moving averages.

Bitcoin Closer to Bottoming Phase Than Early Bear Stage, Report Says

A new Glassnode report suggests Bitcoin may be closer to a bottoming phase than the early stage of a bear market. The analysis focuses on the "Total Supply in Loss" metric, which measures the amount of Bitcoin held at an unrealized loss. This indicator has surged to 9.2 million BTC, its highest level since the last bear market, meaning nearly half of all circulating supply is in loss. This pattern aligns with historical bear markets where such high loss concentrations often signaled exhaustion of selling pressure and preceded market bottoms. While the current level hasn't surpassed previous cyclical bottoms, the market structure resembles the latter stages of past bear markets rather than their beginning. Despite ongoing volatility, this indicates a potential bottoming range. Bitcoin's price recently touched $69,000 but has since back to around $67,300.

Deciphering the Top Ten Bearish Factors in the Crypto Market: How Severe Is This 'Siege of Bright Summit'?

Title: Decoding the Top 10 Bearish Factors in the Crypto Market: How Severe is This "Siege of Bright Summit"? The crypto market is experiencing a severe downturn, driven by multiple simultaneous pressures: tightening global regulations, escalating geopolitical conflicts, industry leaders exiting, and collapsing retail confidence. This "siege" consists of four major forces. 1. Regulatory Crackdown: The U.S. banking lobby is pushing to ban interest payments on stablecoins, which may reduce short-term appeal but could lead to a compromised solution. The OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) has taken effect in 48 jurisdictions, increasing compliance costs but potentially paving the way for institutional adoption. X (formerly Twitter) has tightened ad policies for crypto projects, raising user acquisition costs. 2. Geopolitical Tensions: Escalating Middle East conflicts and Trump’s tariff hikes have strengthened the U.S. dollar and traditional safe-haven assets, draining liquidity from crypto. Market uncertainty may persist until potential U.S.-China summit talks in late March. 3. Internal Selling Pressure: Bitmain’s Jihan Wu sold over 1,100 BTC to fund AI data center ventures, while Vitalik Buterin sold ETH to support ecosystem development. Key opinion leaders (KOLs) are also reducing exposure, amplifying panic selling. 4. Emotional Meltdown: Searches for "Bitcoin is dead" hit a post-FTX peak, and stablecoin FUD caused brief depegging. An upcoming expose by ZachXBT could reveal insider trading, triggering further sell-offs. Technically, several indicators show extreme oversold conditions, historically suggesting a potential rebound within months. However, if geopolitical talks fail or major scandals emerge, the downturn could worsen. In summary, while 60% of the bearish factors stem from regulations and geopolitics—and 70% may turn bullish long-term—the immediate focus should be on risk management. The market may remain volatile until late March, but surviving the downturn is crucial for participating in a potential recovery.

ZRO slides 12% as token unlock pressure mounts: Spot buyers step in

ZRO, the native token of LayerZero, has declined 12% amid renewed selling pressure and weakening market confidence. This downturn follows a significant 114% recovery between late December and mid-February, which had fully reclaimed prior losses. The asset is facing structural headwinds from its monthly token unlock, with 32.6 million ZRO (worth ~$52.25 million) released on February 20, amplifying downside pressure in a thin demand environment. On-chain data shows a contraction in holder counts and an 8.78% drop in market capitalization, indicating capital flight. Community sentiment also fell sharply. However, spot markets have seen net inflows of $2.67 million over 48 hours, suggesting some accumulation at current levels as traders bet on a potential medium-term rebound.
