Bitcoin is currently undergoing a period of downward movement after briefly 
setting a new all-time high earlier last month. Over the past week, the 
world’s largest cryptocurrency has declined by nearly 4%, trading at $113,993 
at the time of writing. This represents a drop of approximately 7.2% from the 
peak price of above $123,000 reached in July. The decline has sparked renewed 
discussion among analysts about the asset’s current price discovery phase and 
what it could mean for the remainder of 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is 
Secretly Tracking This Market Signal: Weiss Crypto Bitcoin Price Discovery and 
the Potential for Q4 Gains CryptoQuant analyst Oinonen shared his latest 
assessment of Bitcoin’s market performance, noting that while the recent 
pullback appears significant, it primarily reflects technical market 
conditions. In his post on the QuickTake platform, he explained that a 
combination of macroeconomic uncertainty, technical indicators turning 
bearish, and liquidation events has contributed to the decline. However, he 
described the ongoing situation as a “technical correction” within Bitcoin’s 
longer-term bullish structure. Despite the short-term weakness, analysts 
remain focused on Bitcoin’s price discovery process. This phase, according to 
Oinonen, is essential in establishing the asset’s fair market value as supply 
and demand interact in the market. Following the all-time high of $123,400 on 
July 14, Bitcoin appears to be consolidating, potentially setting the stage 
for further upward movement later in the year. “Bitcoin has historically 
performed well in the fourth quarter,” Oinonen noted, suggesting that a return 
to its previous peak and even a potential move toward $200,000 could be on the 
horizon if historical patterns hold. Additionally, the analyst pointed to 
Binance’s high stablecoin reserves as a factor that may influence Bitcoin’s 
trajectory. These reserves represent capital that could flow into Bitcoin and 
other digital assets if market sentiment improves. A positive shift in buying 
activity, combined with Bitcoin’s reflexive market behavior, could support 
further gains, although the extent to which this would benefit altcoins 
remains uncertain. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Losing Steam? Analysts Warn of 
Fragile Market Support Caution Over Negative Coinbase Premium Signals While 
some market participants anticipate a possible rebound later this year, other 
analysts are urging caution. Another CryptoQuant contributor, known as 
BQYoutube, highlighted a recent change in the Coinbase Premium Index, a metric 
comparing prices on Coinbase versus other exchanges. Since June 30, the 
premium has shifted to negative, indicating weaker buying pressure from US- 
based investors. “Historically, stronger Bitcoin rallies have coincided with a 
positive Coinbase Premium,” BQYouTube wrote, suggesting that traders may want 
to wait for signs of renewed spot demand before expecting a sustainable 
uptrend. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
