Bitcoin, crypto dip as Trump says Iran’s leader an ‘easy target’

Bitcoin continues to trade in a range just below its recent all-time high, 
maintaining a relatively stable price structure despite broader market 
fluctuations. As of the time of writing, BTC is priced at approximately 
$105,756, reflecting a 1% drop in the past 24 hours and a 5.4% decline from 
its record peak of over $111,000 reached last month. The asset has been 
consolidating within this band for several weeks, with no clear breakout yet 
in sight, indicating a moment of uncertainty or possible transition in market 
direction. A CryptoQuany analyst known as Gaah has offered insights into this 
phase of the cycle. Related Reading: On-Chain Analyst Warns: Bitcoin Peak 
Expected, Altcoins Facing -95% Plunge Bitcoin IBCI Suggests Cycle Is Ongoing, 
Not Exhausted Gaah recently published an analysis on the QuickTake platform, 
focusing on Bitcoin’s IBCI (Index Bitcoin Cycle Indicators). According to the 
post, the IBCI surged above 75% earlier this year during Bitcoin’s rally from 
late 2023 to early 2024, entering what’s known as the “distribution region.” 
Following the correction in BTC price, the IBCI has now leveled around the 50% 
mark, traditionally viewed as a neutral zone that often precedes major trend 
changes. The IBCI&#8217;s current position, according to Gaah, may signal a 
transitional point in the ongoing market cycle. Historically, when the 
indicator stabilizes in the mid-range, it often reflects the end of a market 
pullback and the potential beginning of a new upward phase. Gaah noted that 
over the past decade, Bitcoin’s bullish phases typically concluded only when 
the IBCI reached and remained in the 100% zone. As this condition has not yet 
been met, the present consolidation could be laying the groundwork for another 
leg up, contingent on supportive on-chain metrics and broader ecosystem 
momentum. The analyst also suggested that the lack of extreme sentiment, 
whether bullish or bearish, reinforces the view that the market is still 
evolving rather than nearing a peak. Suppose BTC price manages to push higher 
while the IBCI trends back toward the 75%–100 % region. In that case, it may 
indicate a return to the distribution zone and a continuation of the current 
bull cycle. Exchange Activity Remains Subdued as Retail Interest Stalls In a 
separate analysis shared on CryptoQuant by another contributor, caueconomy, 
recent trends in trading activity were examined. Despite Bitcoin trading near 
historical highs, spot volume across centralized exchanges has dropped to 
multi-year lows. While the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs has shifted some volume 
away from exchanges, the data also reflects limited retail engagement, 
especially with altcoins. This pattern suggests that current market 
participation is more aligned with institutional players or long-term holders, 
rather than speculative retail traders. Caueconomy concluded that these 
subdued volumes are not typical of euphoric market phases. Instead, they 
indicate a more measured participation in the market, which may delay the 
formation of a local top. However, should there be a renewed surge in trading 
activity, especially from retail investors, it could serve as a signal of a 
maturing cycle or the onset of another significant price move. Featured image
