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.

Bullish Sentiment Roundup: Eric Wall Goes All-In on Bounce, Options Signal Large Funds Betting on BTC Upside

March 17 — Crypto markets have rebounded sharply, with key bullish takes on the rally summarized below: **Yihua Yi (Liquid Capital Founder, formerly LD Capital):** “I’m fully long on this rebound — no reversal bets, no shorts. A meaningful oversold bounce is certain; BTC hitting $85k-$90k is reasonable.” **Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy Founder):** Posted his bullish BTC stance amid the AI boom: “If AI compresses terminal value and renders all moats temporary, capital will flow to assets immune to disruption. Bitcoin is digital capital — scarce, neutral, unshakable by AI. It should be a top beneficiary in this shift.” **Renowned Trader Eugene:** Switched to a long position: “Crypto’s strength amid broad global risk asset weakness is notable — it’s the first time the sector has shown relative strength since BTC’s $60k crash. I missed the bottom, but buying on strength post-consolidation breakout is my go-to for better risk control. Several altcoins have formed clean rounde
