Bitcoin Drops 34%, Hits Most Bearish Phase in Two Years
Recent data from CryptoQuant indicates Bitcoin is experiencing a bearish phase, with prices dropping significantly and impacting the broader crypto market.
- Bitcoin fell from above $126,000 on Oct. 6 to $83,790, marking a 34% decline and a loss of approximately $715 billion in market value.
- The Bull Score Index dropped to 20 out of 100 due to weak spot buying, negative price momentum, and reduced stablecoin liquidity.
- Bitcoin closed below its 365-day moving average, a key trendline since January 2023.
- Corporate treasuries have seen market values drop by 70% to over 90%, limiting their ability to support Bitcoin purchases.
- ETF outflows near $3 billion this month contribute to potential selling pressure.
Technical Levels and Short-Term Signals
- Glassnode reported the Mayer Multiple nearing the bottom of its range, suggesting potential buyer re-entry.
- Oversold RSI readings suggest possible short-term recovery, with resistance at $102,600 and support between $90,000-$92,000.
- Historical rallies during downtrends indicate possible rapid reversals.
Market Shock and Macro Factors
- A leverage flush-out on October 10 triggered the recent crash, reducing liquidity and intensifying selling pressure.
- A fault with Athena USDE on Binance caused further automated liquidations.
- Macro factors like tighter liquidity and political uncertainty added to market stress.
- Previous catalysts like the 2024 Trump election and corporate treasury buys in 2025 are considered exhausted by CryptoQuant.
