marketstagnation

CryptoQuant analysts have noted a catastrophic drop in Apparent Demand for Bitcoin, hitting historical lows that resemble the prolonged capitulation phases of 2019 and 2022. The simultaneous drying up of liquidity in both spot and futures markets indicates a complete lack of institutional and retail inflow of 'fresh money' capable of absorbing sell-offs. On-chain metrics warn that current levels do not guarantee a near-term bottom formation, as the market enters an exhausting multi-month phase of sideways action and sharp sawtooth volatility.

In the face of buyer scarcity, any attempts at local bounces will be cynically crushed by short positions, so the most prudent strategy remains to hold capital in stablecoins and completely avoid margin longs.
