More and more peak bear market signals are flashing up on the Bitcoin charts, leading analysts to believe that the pain is not over yet, but we may be nearing the bottom.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin has now closed for a third week below the 100-week moving average and has been under this long-term trendline for 13 days, observed<\/a> Coin Bureau CEO Nic Puckrin on Monday.<\/p>\n Historically, BTC has remained below this for an average of 267 days, with the shortest period at 34 days during the Covid flash crash in March 2020, he added, before predicting it could stay below this for longer.<\/p>\n \u201cTherefore, historically, we are more likely to remain below for a longer period of time. A quick bounce back is still possible, but the longer we remain below, the less likely.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, MN Fund founder Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe said<\/a> the \u201cholder\u2019s supply in profit\/loss is rising,\u201d which means more people aren\u2019t profiting from Bitcoin, and the loss is growing significantly.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is something we\u2019ve only been seeing during peak bear markets in 2015, 2018, and 2022,\u201d he said, before adding that it should provide accumulation opportunities.<\/p>\n CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju was also bearish, stating, \u201cBitcoin is not pumpable right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Selling pressure is too heavy for any multiplier effect, he said before adding that digital asset treasuries \u201cwon\u2019t work until it becomes pumpable again.\u201d<\/p>\n Bitcoin is not pumpable right now.<\/p>\n In 2024, $10B in cash could create $26B in BTC book value. In 2025, $308B flowed in, yet the market cap fell $98B. Selling pressure is too heavy for any multiplier effect.<\/p>\n MSTR and DATs won\u2019t work until it becomes pumpable again. pic.twitter.com\/T8NZHio4H9<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) February 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n Glasnode reported<\/a> on Monday that the unrealized market loss of $70,000 is approximately 16% of the market cap.<\/p>\n \u201cCurrent market pain echoes a similar structure seen in early May 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBitcoin volume is telling,\u201d observed analyst \u2018Sykodelic\u2019. \u201cOn the nuke to $60k we hit the fourth largest volume period since the 2022 bottom,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, the analyst also said that each period since then that has recorded volume to this degree \u201chas marked a key pivot in price direction,\u201d questioning whether $60,000 was the bottom.<\/p>\n The bearish sentiment is for good reason. Bitcoin fell below $70,000 twice on Monday and traded around $69,000 on Tuesday morning in Asia.<\/p>\n The asset has\u00a0been consolidating<\/span><\/a>\u00a0around this level since recovering from its crash to $60,000 on Friday.
