#比特币流动性 $BTC Why do I still believe the bull market is not over? I have summarized the following points
Core conclusion: The current situation resembles a consolidation phase within a bull market rather than the end of a cycle. Key support comes from five dimensions: macro liquidity, institutional funds, halving cycles, on-chain health, and regulation & narrative.
1. Core support logic (Perspective of December 2025)
1. Macro liquidity remains relatively loose: The Federal Reserve has begun a rate-cutting cycle (a cumulative reduction of 75 basis points by 2025). Although the stance is hawkish, a turning point in global liquidity has been established, providing support for risk assets; the supply of stablecoins is high, with sufficient potential buying power.
2. Institutional funds continue to enter: Spot ETFs bring stable incremental capital, with increased institutional allocation and national strategic reserve demands, changing the previously retail-driven funding structure, smoothing volatility and extending the cycle.
3. The halving cycle has not yet completed: After the halving in April 2024, historical price peaks often occur 12-18 months post-halving. We are still within this cycle (in December 2025, about 1 year and 8 months after the halving), and the logic of supply contraction is still effective.
4. On-chain and market structure are healthy: Indicators like SOPR are still within the bull market range. Leverage has been cleared, chips are concentrated, and there are no extreme emotions or signals of capital flight that typically occur at historical peaks.
5. Regulation and narrative still have dividends: The regulatory framework in regions like the United States is gradually becoming clearer, with increased compliance of ETFs and asset allocation needs, combined with the “super cycle” narrative, attracting new funds into the market.
2. Short-term fluctuations ≠ end of the cycle
Current fluctuations are mainly due to hawkish rate-cut expectations, options expirations, and leverage liquidations, representing profit-taking and chip redistribution, not a trend reversal. If there is a subsequent breakthrough of key resistance (such as $100,000) accompanied by capital inflow, it is more likely to initiate a new wave of upward movement.
3. Risk warning
- A shift in Federal Reserve policy, tightening liquidity, stricter regulations, and concentrated leverage liquidations may alter the cycle's rhythm.
- The core of the bull market's continuation is the ongoing support from liquidity and institutional funds, requiring tracking of the marginal changes in these two indicators.
