Why This Bitcoin Bear Market Is Among The Worst Ever: CryptoQuant Researcher

A CryptoQuant researcher, Julio Moreno, indicates the current Bitcoin bear market is one of the worst in recent history based on the 365-day simple moving average (SMA). Bitcoin's price is currently 30% below this key metric, a deeper decline than in the 2014 and 2018 bear markets at a similar stage, though not as severe as the 60% drop witnessed in 2022. This highlights the asset's continued high volatility. For a market turnaround, improved demand is necessary, but capital outflows from US Bitcoin ETFs signal ongoing challenges. Despite a recent 2% rise, Bitcoin's price remains around $70,500, nearly 45% below its all-time high.

Bitcoin Active Addresses Fall To 2020 Lows Following $83,000 Failure — What To Expect

The Bitcoin market has experienced a significant downturn, with prices falling over 12% and testing the $77,000 support level. On-chain analysis reveals a sharp decline in network activity, as the number of active addresses recently dropped to 720,000—the lowest since April 2020. This represents a 36% contraction from the November 2024 peak of 1.126 million addresses, indicating reduced user participation despite Bitcoin's price remaining substantially higher than in 2020. Analysts suggest this divergence reflects a lack of organic demand and underlying network support, increasing the risk of further price declines. For a sustainable recovery, a renewed influx of on-chain users is necessary to avoid "bull traps." As of the latest data, Bitcoin is trading around $78,743, down 6.39% in 24 hours.

Bitcoin Whales Flip From Distribution To Early Re-Accumulation – Details

Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim the $88,000 level amid ongoing selling pressure and weak demand. On-chain data reveals that whales (holders of 1,000–10,000 BTC) have shifted from a prolonged distribution phase in late 2025 to early re-accumulation. After months of reducing their holdings during price strength, their balances have recently stabilized and begun to increase slightly. This change suggests large holders are no longer selling into rallies, reducing downward pressure. However, this behavior indicates tactical repositioning rather than strong bullish accumulation. The market is now in a stabilization phase, with reduced downside risk, but a significant price breakout depends on whether accumulation accelerates.

ONDO’s Silent Accumulation: Whales Absorb The 1.94B Unlock While Price Bleeds

ONDO has lost over 65% of its value since October 2025 amid ongoing selling pressure. Despite the sharp decline, on-chain data suggests "smart money" is accumulating the token ahead of a major 1.94 billion token unlock scheduled for January 18, 2026. Key signals include sustained large whale orders in the $0.35–$0.40 range and a positive 90-day Cumulative Volume Delta, indicating aggressive buyer dominance. While price remains under pressure and is currently testing the $0.30–$0.35 demand zone, the absorption of supply by institutional players could set the stage for a potential rebound in 2026.

Bitcoin Demand Is Picking Up, But The Bear Market Still Holds

Bitcoin recently surged past $94,000, raising questions about a potential bull market return. However, analytics firm CryptoQuant asserts that Bitcoin remains in a bear market despite improving conditions. Although demand has become less negative and the price is approaching the 365-day moving average (around $101,000), it has not yet reclaimed this key technical level, which has historically acted as a resistance point during bear markets. On-chain data shows that while U.S. spot indicators briefly improved, ETF inflows remain weak and apparent demand has declined by approximately 67,000 BTC over the past month. Additionally, rising exchange inflows—reaching a seven-day average of 39,000 BTC—signal increased selling pressure. Thus, despite recent gains, Bitcoin is still considered to be in a bear cycle. As of writing, BTC is trading around $95,200 with little change over the past day.

US Institutions Resume Bitcoin Buying As Coinbase Premium Flips Green

US institutions have resumed Bitcoin buying activity as indicated by the Coinbase Premium Gap flipping positive amid a price surge toward $97,000. This metric, which tracks the price difference between Coinbase (favored by US institutional investors) and Binance, had been negative for weeks, suggesting American whales were selling or not buying. The recent shift to a premium suggests renewed accumulation by US entities. However, the move is still brief, and sustainability remains uncertain given a similar pattern earlier in the month failed to hold. The rally also triggered significant short liquidations, peaking near $90 million. Bitcoin is currently trading around $96,500, up 8% over the past week.

Bitcoin ‘Record’ LTH Selling Inflated By Exchange Transfers, CryptoQuant Head Says

CryptoQuant's head of research, Julio Moreno, clarifies that the recent record-high Bitcoin long-term holder (LTH) selling was significantly inflated by internal exchange transfers. While the 30-day LTH spending reached 1.55 million BTC in November, approximately 0.65 million BTC of that was due to internal wallet movements within Coinbase, not actual economic selling. After adjusting for these transactions, the adjusted LTH distribution peaked at 0.9 million BTC, making it the fifth highest on record rather than a new all-time high. This pattern of internal transfers exaggerating LTH selling has occurred before, notably in December 2018. Despite the selloff, Bitcoin's price remained strong at around $93,800, up 7% over the past week.

XRP Shows Signs Of Strength: Market Orders Turn Increasingly Bullish

XRP has shown signs of strength with a 15% price increase over four days, suggesting a potential shift from its prolonged bearish trend. On-chain and derivatives data indicate a meaningful change in market dynamics, with Binance’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio rising to 0.991—its highest since late November. This reflects reduced sell-side aggression and increased buyer confidence, as market participants are more willing to execute orders at current prices rather than wait for declines. The improvement in trader sentiment and order flow balance points to a possible transition toward a more sustained recovery, though continued price strength and volume expansion will be key to confirming this trend.

Bitcoin STH Unrealized Losses Hit 15%: Is This Where The Bleeding Stops?

Bitcoin's positive start to the year was disrupted by market reactions to U.S. military action in Venezuela, briefly pushing BTC below $90,000. Despite short-term volatility, on-chain data suggests a potential correction low may be forming. Analyst Darkfost notes that short-term holders (STHs) are under significant pressure, with unrealized losses averaging around 15%, based on a cost basis of approximately $103,000. Historically, such levels have often preceded local bottoms, though prolonged bear market conditions could invalidate this signal. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $91,160, up over 1% in 24 hours.

Data Suggest Bitcoin May Be Entering A New Bear Phase, Warns CryptoQuant

Bitcoin may be transitioning into a new bear market phase, according to a CryptoQuant analysis by Woominkyu. The Bitcoin Cycle Momentum Indicator (BCMI) has declined to between 0.4 and 0.5, signaling a cooling period rather than a temporary pullback. Historically, cycle bottoms occur when BCMI falls to 0.25–0.35, suggesting further downside potential. Demand has sharply declined since early October, with institutional demand contracting. US spot Bitcoin ETFs became net sellers in Q4 2025, selling approximately 24,000 BTC. Perpetual futures funding rates dropped to their lowest since December 2023, indicating reduced risk appetite. Bitcoin's price has fallen below its 365-day moving average, a key bull-bear market indicator. If a bear market is confirmed, the realized price could be around $56,000, representing a 55% drawdown from recent all-time highs. Intermediate support is seen near $70,000. Bitcoin was trading at $87,635 at the time of writing, down 10% year-to-date and 30.5% from its peak above $126,000.
