01 THE MACHINE READ
WHY IT MATTERS.
A 32% drawdown a year after the record high confirms crypto remains in a deep bear market, but the milder decline versus past 77-85% crashes suggests selling pressure is less extreme this cycle.
Bitcoin bear market milder but still deep one year on
CATALYST TO WATCH
Any macro liquidity shift or ETF flow reversal
MAIN RISK
Further downside if past deeper drawdowns repeat
FULL DISPATCH
This shallower decline isn’t limited to the one-year anniversary. The bear market itself has been milder with past downturns seeing prices plummet 77% to 85%.
