Chinese Analysts Assess: Has the Downward Trend in Bitcoin Finally Been Broken?

A recent report from Matrixport reveals that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading in extremely rare territory. It argues that there is a significant discrepancy between position structure, market sentiment, and macroeconomic policy signals, increasing pricing uncertainty.

The report notes that Bitcoin’s implied volatility (IV) has declined sharply, reducing demand for downside protection. Despite this, the BTC price remains below a critical price range it has repeatedly failed to break. On-chain data suggests a retest of a key cost level, which has repeatedly played a key role in separating “panic” and “deep value” zones in the market, is imminent.

On the macro side, the Fed’s shift in tone has reshaped expectations for interest rate cuts. Historically, when seasonal cycles and trend patterns clash, investors tend to misread critical turning points.

Meanwhile, it’s also noteworthy that Bitcoin has formed a bullish “hammer” formation at its lows. However, the technical outlook suggests that despite these signs, the main downtrend hasn’t yet been broken. Analysts note that these conflicting signals could lead to low volatility and high directional search in the short term.
