Bitcoin’s Bear Bottom Remains Ahead, CryptoQuant Says Around $55K

Bitcoin has plunged about 45% from its October peak and CryptoQuant argues its ultimate bear-market bottom is around $55,000, a level tied to the realized price that has historically provided strong support in bear markets. The firm notes the market is in a bear phase but not in the extreme bear zone, implying the bottom may take months to form and could hover near that level. Other forecasts, like Standard Chartered’s, anticipate near-term downside toward $50,000 before a rebound toward $100,000 later in 2026, with BTC trading around $69,700 at the time of the report.
