Overview

Bitcoin's ongoing bear market is characterized by a smaller decline than in past cycles, with the price down roughly 35% from its peak. This relatively mild drawdown is supported by growing ETF inflows and continued corporate Bitcoin purchases, which help mitigate selling pressure. Despite these positive factors, analysts warn that the bear market is not necessarily over and could resume, reflecting a cautious outlook on Bitcoin's near-term trajectory.
