According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant decline on Tuesday, with several on-chain metrics indicating a potential bottom in bitcoin's (BTC) price. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies remained slightly above $2.7 trillion, reflecting a substantial decrease of nearly $1 trillion since its peak in December 2024, as per TradingView data. Various indicators suggest that the sell-off on Tuesday may have marked a local bottom for bitcoin.
Andre Dragosch, Head of Research at Bitwise Europe, pointed out that the Crypto Asset Sentiment Index reached its lowest point since August. This coincided with the unwinding of the yen carry trade, which saw bitcoin's price bottoming out at approximately $49,000. Dragosch remarked, "The Crypto Asset Sentiment Index just flashed a massive contrarian buy signal for Bitcoin. Widespread bearishness across flows, on-chain data, and derivatives suggests that downside risks are fairly limited. At these prices, the risk-reward outlook appears quite favorable."
On the same day, investors faced a loss of $1.8 billion, marking the largest single-day realized loss since August. This was a result of the yen carry trade unwind, which led to $3.2 billion in realized losses, according to data from Glassnode. Additionally, short-term holders, defined by Glassnode as those who have held bitcoin for less than 155 days, transferred 43,600 BTC (equivalent to $3.9 billion) to exchanges at a loss, the highest level since August 2024. These metrics are essential in identifying potential market bottoms, suggesting that bitcoin may be approaching a critical turning point.#CryptoMarket #Bitcoin #MarketDownturn #CryptoSentiment #RealizedLoss #YenCarryTrade #BTC #MarketCapitalization #OnChainData #ShortTermHolders
🚀 Bitcoin Media Coverage in Q2 Shows Polarized Narratives
#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #MediaCoverage #PolarizedNarrative #MarketIntelligence #InvestorAwareness #InformationAsymmetry #FinancialMedia #CryptoSentiment #RetailAdoption #BitcoinMining #InstitutionalAdoption #Skepticism #MainstreamMedia #DigitalAssets #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, the second quarter of 2025 saw a polarized and limited volume of mainstream media coverage on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, despite Bitcoin reaching an all-time high. Market intelligence firm Perception reported that 1,116 articles were published by 18 major media outlets during this period, revealing a "deeply polarized narrative landscape" in digital asset coverage. The report highlighted a significant divergence in sentiment, with 31% of articles being positive, 41% neutral, and 28% negative.
The report noted a notable lack of coverage from "elite financial publications" such as The Wall Street Journal, which published only two articles on Bitcoin in Q2. The Financial Times and The New York Times published 11 articles each, collectively accounting for just 2% of all mass media coverage on Bitcoin and crypto for the quarter. Perception identified three distinct narratives in Bitcoin coverage: "enthusiastic adoption" from outlets like Forbes and CNBC, "willful blindness" from The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times, and "persistent skepticism" from traditional media.
High-volume financial media such as Forbes, CNBC, and Barron’s filled the gap left by top financial publications with extensive coverage, while traditional news outlets focused on crime and controversy. The research also highlighted significant variation in crypto topic distribution among news media. Forbes emphasized retail adoption, Bitcoin mining, and institutional adoption, while CNBC concentrated on banking and finance, market analysis, and investment vehicles. Fortune covered mining, banking, finance, and market analysis, whereas Fox News focused on crime, legal, and cybersecurity topics.
The report concluded that this disparity in coverage creates significant "information asymmetry," leaving investors who rely on elite financial media "systematically underinformed" about this emerging transformative asset class. This uneven distribution of information could impact investor decisions and perceptions of the cryptocurrency market.#Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #MediaCoverage #PolarizedNarrative #MarketIntelligence #InvestorAwareness #InformationAsymmetry #FinancialMedia #CryptoSentiment #RetailAdoption #BitcoinMining #InstitutionalAdoption #Skepticism #MainstreamMedia #DigitalAssets #BTC

🚀 Altcoin News: Retail Investors Shift to Stocks as Altcoin Market Contracts by $800 Billion, According to Bloomberg Report

The altcoin market has fallen short of historical cycle projections by roughly $800 billion, according to Bloomberg, as retail investors increasingly turn to stock markets amid renewed interest in equities and weakening crypto sentiment.Retail Rotation Dampens Altcoin MomentumThe report cited data from 10x Research, which observed that retail traders — particularly in South Korea — have shifted focus to crypto-related stocks, reducing liquidity and speculative flows in the altcoin sector.In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to benefit from institutional capital inflows, underscoring the widening divergence between BTC and the broader altcoin market.South Korean Trading Activity SlumpsBetween November 5 and 28, 2024, South Korean crypto exchanges recorded an average of $9.4 billion in daily trading volume, compared with $7 billion on the Kospi stock index during the same period.Since then, crypto volumes have declined significantly.According to 10x Research, this retreat reflects waning enthusiasm among South Korean traders, historically among the most active participants in altcoin markets.Analysts warn that this trend could signal further downside for altcoins if retail sentiment fails to recover in the coming weeks.Macro Headwinds Add PressureThe recent U.S.–China trade tensions have also weighed heavily on risk assets, sparking a broad crypto market sell-off.Altcoins have borne the brunt of the decline, accounting for $131 billion of the $380 billion total crypto market cap contraction in recent weeks.Despite the pullback, Bitcoin has remained comparatively resilient, bolstered by continued ETF inflows and growing perception as a liquidity hedge amid global uncertainty.#Altcoin #RetailInvestors #Stocks #Cryptocurrency #BloombergReport #Bitcoin #BTC #MarketDecline #SouthKorea #CryptoMarket #ETF #RiskAssets #USChinaTrade #RetailRotation #Liquidity #AltcoinMarket #CryptoSentiment #MarketContraction #InvestorSentiment #Equities #ALT
🚀 Cryptocurrency Market Stabilizes After Volatility, Awaits Policy Shifts
#Cryptocurrency #MarketStabilization #Volatility #DePIN #Layer2 #AI #Bitcoin #Altcoins #MarketRebound #PolicyShift #Regulation #MacroEnvironment #CryptoSentiment
According to Foresight News, Wintermute has reported that after weeks of significant volatility, the market is beginning to feel more balanced. Although cryptocurrencies remain the weakest performing asset class, the overall sentiment has shifted. The sell-off in October appears to be over, and selective risk-taking is returning. The rebound in sectors related to DePIN, Layer 2, and AI indicates a willingness to engage, though market breadth remains limited and narratives are still unstable.
For the next phase, major cryptocurrencies need to take the lead. Historically, altcoins only follow when Bitcoin trades near its peak. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at approximately $105,000, down 16% from its all-time high, and this rotation led by major coins has not yet been triggered. This situation seems less like stagnation and more like a turning point: the market structure is clearer, the macro environment is favorable, and the market feels ready to rise again.
With headlines suggesting that the United States might revisit regulatory policies, the next wave of volatility is likely to stem from policy and political factors rather than market positioning.#Cryptocurrency #MarketStabilization #Volatility #DePIN #Layer2 #AI #Bitcoin #Altcoins #MarketRebound #PolicyShift #Regulation #MacroEnvironment #CryptoSentiment
🚀 Bitcoin's Recent Decline May Not Signal Prolonged Bear Market, Says Analyst
#Bitcoin #BearMarket #CryptoAnalysis #AlessioRastani #Cointelegraph #DeathCross #MarketRallies #BitcoinPrice #CryptoSentiment #StockMarketCorrelation #CryptoCycles #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin's recent decline from its all-time high has sparked fears of a prolonged bear market among investors. Social media is rife with predictions of a deep bear market, with some analysts suggesting that the next significant bottom may not occur until 2026. However, trader Alessio Rastani offers a different perspective on the situation.
Rastani, in an interview with Cointelegraph, argues that the recent drop does not necessarily indicate the beginning of a long-term bear cycle. He suggests that historical data points to a recurring pattern that has often led to strong rallies approximately 75% of the time. Rastani's analysis highlights that this setup has emerged following several past death cross events, a pattern that many traders mistakenly view as a bearish signal.
The trader also emphasizes the importance of extreme sentiment indicators, oversold technicals, and a significant correlation with the stock market, all of which he believes suggest a potential continuation of the upside. Rastani notes that Bitcoin may not have experienced a "blow-off top," a characteristic of previous market peaks, indicating that the recent high might not represent the cycle's ultimate peak.
Despite his optimistic outlook, Rastani acknowledges the bearish cycle theory. He cautions against relying solely on timing cycles, as they can be misleading, and stresses that price action presents a different narrative. For those interested in a more detailed analysis of Rastani's perspective, the full interview is available on Cointelegraph's YouTube channel.#Bitcoin #BearMarket #CryptoAnalysis #AlessioRastani #Cointelegraph #DeathCross #MarketRallies #BitcoinPrice #CryptoSentiment #StockMarketCorrelation #CryptoCycles #BTC

🚀 Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Face Increased Pressure Amid Market Trends
#Bitcoin #LongTermHolders #MarketTrends #LTHRPRL #LTHSOPR #CryptoSentiment #BearMarket #EA-LTHRL #CryptoPanic #MarketPsychology #BitcoinPrice #BTC #LUNA
Crypto KOL Murphy posted on X that the Long-Term Holder Realized Profit/Loss Ratio (LTH-RPRL) for Bitcoin has fallen below 1 for the first time in this cycle, a situation last observed on May 9, 2022. Additionally, the Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (LTH-SOPR) is also below 1, indicating that long-term holders are not only experiencing losses but are also selling at a loss.
For those who have not yet sold, each fluctuation in Bitcoin's price presents a growing psychological challenge, as the sensitivity of long-term holders to price changes has reached levels similar to those on November 29, 2014, November 3, 2018, and May 25, 2022. Historically, these points have been followed by events that exacerbated panic among long-term holders, marking the final phase of a bear market.
Currently, the market sentiment is characterized by ignoring positive news and amplifying negative developments. Bitcoin appears to be increasingly desensitized to macroeconomic benefits, seemingly influenced by a mysterious force. This force is not controlled by any individual, institution, or entity but rather reflects a consensus issue among the majority of market participants.
Historically, when the LTH-RPRL drops below 1, the probability of Bitcoin entering a prolonged bear market increases significantly. This phase is not defined by the depth of price drops but by the duration of the downturn.
The final phase of a bear market is marked by extreme panic among long-term holders. The key indicator for this is the Entity-Adjusted Long-Term Holder Realized Loss (EA-LTH RL). The larger the scale, the greater the panic among long-term holders. On February 5, when Bitcoin fell to $60,000, the EA-LTH RL reached $680 million, surpassing the panic levels triggered by the LUNA crash in the previous bear market.
Whether this marks the final phase of the bear market remains uncertain. However, if Bitcoin prices drop further and the EA-LTH RL decreases, it could signal the end. If not, as long as the LTH-RPRL remains below 1, opportunities will persist.#Bitcoin #LongTermHolders #MarketTrends #LTHRPRL #LTHSOPR #CryptoSentiment #BearMarket #EA-LTHRL #CryptoPanic #MarketPsychology #BitcoinPrice #BTC #LUNA

🚀 Global M2 Money Supply Reaches All-Time High Amid Crypto Market Concerns
#M2MoneySupply #CryptoMarket #QuantitativeTightening #CentralBanks #Liquidity #CryptoSentiment #MonetaryPolicy #Ted #CryptoKOL #MarketDynamics
Crypto KOL Ted posted on X that the M2 money supply in the United States, Japan, the European Union, and China has reached an all-time high. Despite this significant increase in global liquidity, the cryptocurrency market is behaving as if major central banks are preparing to initiate quantitative tightening (QT). This observation highlights a disconnect between the rising money supply and the cautious sentiment within the crypto market. The M2 money supply is a key indicator of the amount of money circulating within an economy, including cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near money. The current levels suggest substantial liquidity, yet the crypto market's reaction indicates apprehension about potential monetary policy shifts. Ted's commentary underscores the complexity of market dynamics and the influence of central bank policies on cryptocurrency valuations.#M2MoneySupply #CryptoMarket #QuantitativeTightening #CentralBanks #Liquidity #CryptoSentiment #MonetaryPolicy #Ted #CryptoKOL #MarketDynamics
