200-Day Moving Average Signals Crypto Winter: Bitcoin and Top 50 Tokens in Bear Market Territory

The cryptocurrency market has entered a bear market phase, with significant indicators pointing towards prolonged losses and stagnation. Bitcoin fell below its 200-day simple moving average on March 9, signaling a long-term bearish trend. The COIN50 index, which tracks the top 50 tokens by market capitalization, has been in bear market territory since the end of February. A 20% decline, typically used to define bear markets in stocks, may not fully capture the shifts in investor sentiment and market structure in the crypto space. Bitcoin’s risk-adjusted performance, measured in standard deviations (z-score) over the previous 365 days, also indicates that the bull cycle ended in late February. The crypto market may find a floor in mid-to-late Q2 2025, setting up a better Q3 2025. Venture capital funding for alternative cryptocurrencies has slowed, with overall funding 50%-60% below 2021-22 levels, despite Bitcoin reaching new highs above $70K earlier this year.

Feels like crypto winter might be settling in. Bitcoin slipping below key levels and top tokens dipping hard could be early signs. Hard to tell if it’s just a cool off or the real thing…

Heads up, top alts & ISO tokens incl $HBAR $XLM $ONDO $ALGO and more look ready to breakout and make strong continuations with volume. It’s a falling wedge party across the board with Bitcoin leading the charge

The crypto winter is officially here. Coinbase warns that Bitcoin and top tokens enter bear territory amid declining demand and ETF outflows. History repeats, folks. 2025-2026 may be brutal. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
