Analyst: Bitcoin Enters Bear Market Due to Weakening Demand

2025.12.24 14:24:02

**CryptoQuant Research Director: Bitcoin in Bear Market Amid Weak Demand** December 24, 2024 Bitcoin is currently in a bear market, primarily driven by weak demand, CryptoQuant Research Director Julio Moreno stated Tuesday. Since 2023, Bitcoin has seen three major waves of on-chain demand, fueled by U.S. spot ETF approval, U.S. presidential election outcomes, and the "Bitcoin Treasury Company" bubble. However, demand growth has fallen below long-term trend levels since early October 2025—signaling most new demand in this cycle has been absorbed, and key price support factors are fading. In Q4 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs turned net sellers, shedding ~24,000 BTC—sharply contrasting with strong accumulation in Q4 2024. Meanwhile, growth in addresses holding 100–1,000 BTC (largely representing ETFs and Treasury firms) is also below trend, mirroring the demand slump seen at the end of 2021 and ahead of the 2022 bear market. Bitcoin’s price has dropped below its 365-day moving average—a key long-term technical support level historically acting as a critical bull/bear market dividing line.

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin Could Rebound to $71,500 to $81,200 if Macro Risks Subside

On April 2, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant (per The Block) released a report noting Bitcoin’s spot demand remains in “deep contraction” despite ongoing institutional buying pressure. As of late March, apparent demand has fallen by roughly 63,000 BTC, signaling selling pressure still outpaces buying pressure. CryptoQuant emphasized: “Even as institutions accelerate buying, overall apparent demand keeps contracting—meaning retail and other market players’ selling has outstripped incremental institutional purchases.” This demand contraction has lasted since late November 2025, “confirming the broader market remains in a chip distribution phase.” Whales holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have shifted to net distributors, offloading roughly 188,000 BTC in the past year. Their 365-day moving average is still trending downward. “Historically, sustained negative accumulation by whales has aligned with long-term price weakness. The current reading shows selling remains a major structural headw

Meme Coin KOL Murad, holding for the past 9 months, is nearly $60 million in unrealized losses but has not sold, indicating continued faith in a rebound

**April 2 — According to Cointelegraph, popular meme coin influencer Murad has racked up nearly $60 million in unrealized losses trading meme coins over the past nine months. He remains optimistic about a rebound and hasn’t stopped out, however. Murad currently holds ~29.964 million SPX6900 (SPX) tokens, valued at ~$7.79 million — accounting for 96% of his total tracked investment portfolio (~$8.1 million). His portfolio peaked at ~$67 million in July 2023. As the meme coin sector has dropped more than 80% from its highs since then, his unrealized losses have grown to ~$60 million. Data shows no substantial sell-offs of his SPX6900 holdings or other major positions, with realized profit and loss (P&L) sitting at $0. On Wednesday, Murad tweeted that SPX6900’s market cap will surge from its current ~$250 million to $1 trillion — a nearly 400,000% jump. He noted Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with a market cap exceeding $1 trillion. Technically, SPX6900 has broken down from a
