The market maker pointed to rising ETF inflows, macro easing, and a dovish Fed tone as contributing variables. Bitcoin has jumped more than nearly 10% in the last week, but is still down nearly 50% from October’s peak. Bitcoin has jumped nearly 10% in the last week of trading, recently changing hands at $64,023 after touching a two-week high above $64,500 on Monday. But market-making firm Wintermute says it’s still “somewhat cautious,” suggesting the recent price jump is more of a relief rally than a structural shift.

The post Has Bitcoin Bottomed This Cycle? Analysts Say ‘Not Yet’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is trading in a market that’s getting harder to define. Hovering around $64,000 at the time of writing, Bitcoin is down by almost 50% from its cycle peak. That’s a much shallower draw down than previous cycles, but the bull run this time around did not reach the same heights. The 2025 rally was driven by exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, post-halving momentum and renewed institutional demand, pushing the market to a new all-time high of more than $126,000 in October 2025. Since then, the trend has been inexorably downward, but analysts are split on what that decline signifies.
