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.

AI stocks have been in a prolonged slump, with securities firms and KOLs heavily betting on bottom-fishing this week.

Recently, AI stocks have continued to decline, with multiple AI leading stocks represented by SK Hynix halving in value in a short period. In response, domestic and international securities firms and KOLs have been intensively betting on bottom-fishing this week. Dan Bin, chairman of Orient Capital, publicly stated on Xueqiu today: "When there is a sharp drop, you must dare to buy! I just used up all my remaining dry powder." Famous investor Duan Yongping shared his actual trading records of SpaceX put options last Friday, which the market widely views as his typical "potential bottom-picking" move. Additionally, regarding Korean stocks, securities firms including Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Nomura unanimously hold that the market is "near the bottom", "deleveraging is nearing its end", and the current market is a technical correction rather than a fundamental reversal, maintaining their high target price views for the KOSPI index. Tom Lee, well-known in the crypto circle, expressed a similar view, stating that the corrections of SK Hynix and Samsung are forced deleveraging, weak hands have been cleared out, and the market is near the bottom. AI has been built as an industrial-level project over many years, so all such corrections are "buyable". In the U.S. stock market, there is no shortage of "bottom-fishing" voices either. Most analysts believe that the overall valuation of the Magnificent Seven (Mag7) relative to the S&P 500 is at a low level in over a decade, and they recommend buying on dips in stocks including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Broadcom, Amazon, etc. BlockBeats believes that the market is volatile and unpredictable, and investors need to be responsible for their own funds and decisions. In the current extreme market conditions, it is recommended to use leverage tools with caution and maintain rational investment behavior.
