Coinbase Research: Bitcoin Breaks Key Support, Market Possibly in Early Stage of Long-term Downtrend

2025.04.16 13:32:48

On April 16th, Coinbase Research presented a report indicating that both Bitcoin and the COIN50 Index have fallen beneath their respective 200-day moving averages. This suggests that the market might be in the initial stage of a long-term downward trend. This aligns with the trend of the total market capitalization decline and the contraction of VC funding. Both of these are key characteristics of a potential "crypto winter." The report points out that numerous signs may imply that extreme negative sentiment has emerged as global tariffs are being implemented and there is a possibility of further escalation. This indicates that a new "crypto winter" may be commencing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency venture capital in the first quarter of 2025 rebounded from the previous quarter but still remains 50-60% below the peak levels of the 2021-2022 cycle. This significantly restricts new capital from entering the ecosystem, especially in altcoins. All these structural pressures stem from the broader macroeconomic environment's uncertainty. As traditional risk assets face continuous resistance due to fiscal austerity and tariff policies, this leads to decision-making paralysis. Despite some unique favorable regulatory factors, the path to crypto recovery remains arduous, even in the face of the poor performance of the stock market. The interaction of these factors makes the outlook for the digital asset space challenging, and caution may still be necessary in the short term (perhaps in the next 4-6 weeks). However, the report also advises investors to adopt a tactical market strategy and remain optimistic about the second half of 2025.

Fed Speak: Fed Expected to Pause Rate Cuts, Resumption of Cutting Path Unclear

January 27th — Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, known as the "Fed Whisperer," said Federal Reserve officials are expected to hold interest rates steady this week — the first pause after three consecutive rate cuts since September 2023. The question now: What would prompt the Fed to cut rates again? It hinges on which risk materializes first: a labor market breakdown or a significant drop in inflation toward the central bank’s 2% target. Neither has occurred since the Fed’s December meeting. Consequently, despite intense political pressure from the White House, the rate-setting committee remains in wait-and-see mode. Most officials still see a possible rate cut later this year, but they disagree on when incoming data will justify such a move.

Ray Dalio: The United States is at the brink of the fifth stage of the "Long-Term Debt Cycle," facing risks of a civil war and an order breakdown.

**January 27: Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, shared a lengthy, in-depth analysis on social media, warning the U.S. is currently in the fifth stage of his "long-term debt cycle" theory—on the cusp of an order breakdown—with multiple indicators pointing to a potential slide into the sixth stage (civil war and order collapse).** His key judgment factors include: - **Fiscal Deterioration & Conflict**: High government deficits, ballooning debt, and record-high wealth and values gaps form a "classic deadly combination." - **Populism & Polarization**: Growing political polarization, muted moderate voices, media as a partisan tool, and an erosion of truth in the public sphere. - **Escalating Violence**: The recent death of a Minneapolis protester and tensions between federal and state governments are clear signs of a shift toward the sixth stage. - **Systemic Dysfunction**: Legal and political systems increasingly weaponized in conflicts, with rules giving way to "win
