Bitcoin Holds Above $77K as Investors Search for Bottom Signal

Following a failed attempt to surpass $83,000 last week, the cryptocurrency market was subdued on Wednesday, with Bitcoin struggling to hold key support. The leading cryptocurrency traded around $77,400, up 0.7% on the day. Market sentiment was lifted by reduced geopolitical uncertainty after a US Senate vote to limit presidential war authority regarding Iran, alongside declines in oil and Treasury yields. Attention also turned to upcoming Federal Reserve meeting minutes. Analysts point to on-chain data, particularly the stabilization of Bitcoin's Realized Cap—a measure of the aggregate cost basis of all coins—as a potential signal that the worst of the recent decline may be over. After falling sharply from its peak, this indicator is showing signs of forming a base, reminiscent of behavior at the 2022 bear market lows. While a definitive market bottom is uncertain, the recovery above $77,000 and supportive metrics suggest the current downturn's most severe phase could have passed.
