Matrixport released a market view stating that "the recent price trend of Bitcoin shows that the market is transitioning from a bull market phase to a consolidation phase. Although the macro environment remains supportive, including the continued easing policy of the Federal Reserve and a relatively stable overall liquidity environment, multiple technical and structural indicators show short-term fatigue. Bitcoin has fallen below its 21-week moving average for two consecutive weeks, and this moving average has always been seen as a reliable dividing line between bull and bear phases. At the same time, on-chain liquidity growth has slowed, and realized market value indicators also show a weakening inflow of funds. The flash crash on October 11 highlighted these vulnerabilities - billions of dollars in forced liquidations triggered a chain reaction in the market. The size of open Bitcoin contracts has decreased, long-term holders have started to take profits, and volatility remains low. The interaction of a stronger dollar, declining bond yields, and weak labor market data suggests that global growth momentum may slow down, which could lead to range-bound volatility for risk assets, including Bitcoin, until market confidence is restored.
