6. Bitcoin Bull Market Cycle Ends, Reversal Requires Six Months

Odaily Planet Daily reports that CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju posted on X platform that the Bitcoin bull market cycle has ended for the following reasons: There is a concept in on-chain data called realized market cap. It works as follows: when BTC enters a blockchain wallet, it is considered a "buy," and when it leaves, it is considered a "sell." Using this idea, one can estimate the average cost basis of each wallet, multiplying it by the amount of BTC held to arrive at the total realized market cap, which is generally seen as the total capital that has entered the Bitcoin market through actual on-chain activity, while market cap is based on the latest trading prices on exchanges. When selling pressure is low, even small purchases can drive up prices, thereby increasing market cap. Strategy capitalizes on this by issuing convertible bonds and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin, resulting in a book value of their held Bitcoin that far exceeds the actual capital invested. However, when selling pressure is high, even large purchases cannot change prices; for example, when Bitcoin's trading price approaches $100,000, the market volume is huge, but prices hardly change. The actual market cap shows how much real money has entered the market, while market cap reflects how prices respond. If actual market cap is growing but market cap is stagnant or declining, it means capital is flowing in, but prices are not rising—this is a typical bearish signal. On the other hand, if actual market cap is flat while market cap skyrockets, it indicates that even a small amount of new capital is pushing prices up—this is a bullish signal. What we are currently seeing is the former, where capital is entering the market, but prices are not responding, which is a typical characteristic of a bear market. In short: when small capital drives prices up, it is a bull market. When large capital cannot drive prices up, it is a bear market. Current data clearly points to the latter. Selling pressure could ease at any time, but historically, a true reversal takes at least six months—thus, a short-term rebound seems unlikely. -Original
