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.

Analyst: Bitcoin Experienced 'Capitulation Event' in November 2025, Consolidation Phase Expected in Q1-Q2 This Year

On January 10, 2025, analyst Biraajmaan Tamuly noted that Bitcoin Long-Term Holders (LTHs) endured the most aggressive selling phase on record that year. Despite the selling pressure sparking market volatility, on-chain data suggests this pressure may be fading—potentially laying the groundwork for Bitcoin’s next upward price cycle. Key data highlights: - Nearly $300 billion in Bitcoin dormant for at least a year re-entered circulation in 2025. - The period November 15–December 14, 2025, marked one of the most intense LTH selling sprees in over five years. Tamuly explained that since 2019, sharp LTH supply drops have rarely happened in isolation. They typically align with signs of Bitcoin’s trend exhaustion—either an uptrend nearing its end or a structural market transition. Price weakness emerged in October, but the most severe selling followed: a 30-day distribution peak of 1.14 million BTC in November 2025. This sequence signals a **capitulation sell-off** (not orderly
