A market expert has outlined five distinct phases in the Bitcoin (BTC) bear market that could indicate when the leading cryptocurrency has hit a bottom. The analysis concludes that the cryptocurrency could still face additional downward pressure before ultimately reaching its final price floor this year. The Early Phases Of Bitcoin’s Price Bottom Ardi, a technical analyst on X, has used the market structure and price movements during the 2022 bear market to predict when Bitcoin could reach a price floor in this current bear cycle. In his analysis, he shared the five phases that could indicate that a bottoming process is already underway. According to the analyst, these five distinct stages have repeated across multiple assets, eras, and cycles, meaning they are not just limited to Bitcoin and could be used to determine the bottom timeline of other cryptocurrencies. He noted that Phase A is marked by an abrupt halt in the previous trend that has been pushing the Bitcoin price downward. He stated that a violent event usually takes place here, breaking the old momentum and forcing the market out of a clean downtrend.

The analyst noted that the market is currently in this stage, suggesting that Bitcoin could still be months away from hitting a bottom. He explained that this stage is typically the longest of the five, often causing investors and traders to lose interest as prices consolidate and move sideways without a clear direction for weeks or months. After this comes Phase C, which the analyst described as a critical “test.” During this period, BTC is expected to make one final move in the direction of its previous downtrend, shaking out the weak hands and trapping bulls. Based on the analyst’s chart, Phase C will likely mark Bitcoin’s final market bottom. However, Ardi expects this move to trigger breakout traders into taking wrong positions, allowing the market to determine whether any significant pressure remains. The Final Stages Of The Bottoming Process Moving forward, Ardi noted that Phase D likely marks the end of the Bitcoin bear market, with a new trend gradually taking shape ahead of a bullish breakout. During this period, Bitcoin’s market structure could begin to strengthen, even as overall sentiment remains cautious, and participants may still feel uncertain about the safety of entering long positions.

He noted that most traders trust this stage because it is the first point at which the market’s direction appears clear. However, he warned that this can be a trap. Traders often buy only when conditions feel safe and sell when the trend seems obvious, but by then, they may have already lost their advantage and missed the opportunity to accumulate at lower prices.

A drop to $54,000 could mark one of the strongest buying opportunities in Bitcoin’s current cycle, according to on-chain data analysts — but the price still sits roughly 20% above that level, and some market watchers say the bottom may not yet be in. Related Reading: More Than 40% Of Altcoins Are Hitting Rock Bottom — And Experts Say It’s Worse Than The Last Crash Realized Price Draws Attention From Long-Term Investors The metric at the center of the conversation is Bitcoin’s Realized Price, currently near $54,000. Unlike the daily spot price, this figure reflects the average cost at which every coin on the network last changed hands. When Bitcoin trades below that level, data shows the market has often been in the grip of fear-driven selling — and historically, those moments have attracted long-term buyers looking to accumulate at a discount. CryptoQuant analyst Tugce highlighted the metric in a recent breakdown, pointing to past cycles where Bitcoin crossed below its Realized Price and later staged significant recoveries. Bitcoin’s Best Buy Zone? History Says This Is It! “Below 54,000 dollars, Bitcoin is cheap compared to the market average, and it is a perfect place to make gradual accumulation and collect Bitcoin.” – By @cryptometugce pic.twitter.com/S9j9Eh7LqX — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 31, 2026 She cautioned, though, that investors should not expect a quick turnaround. Recovery timelines have ranged from as few as seven days to more than 300 days in past cycles, and prices can continue falling even after crossing below that threshold. Bitcoin is currently trading at around $67,250 and has lost around 20% so far this year. This decline has been going on for the last five months, starting in October 2025. So far, the total decline from the peak is around 40%. Whale Activity And Institutional Demand Raise Caution Flags Not everyone is looking at the Realized Price with the same level of optimism. According to CryptoQuant’s statistics, whales are moving a lot of Bitcoin into the popular exchange platform Binance. This could possibly be a precursor to a sell-off. The Whale Ratio on the Binance exchange rose from 0.39 on March 25 to 0.66 on March 29 before paring some of the gains. On March 29 alone, the exchange received a net of 2,003 Bitcoins valued at around $134 million. Additionally, the Coinbase Premium Index has once again gone into the red, which could indicate a decrease in institutional interest in the asset class. Global pressures on the markets are also a factor in the current decline of the asset class. Geopolitical tensions and oil prices are at a high, and the bond market is struggling. This has caused a lot of pressure on the asset class in the last few months. Earlier in March, the asset class fell to a low of $65,000 due to the high level of volatility in the markets.

This is the period when the asset class loses steam between the second and third quarters of the year after a strong bull run in the first half of the year. Therefore, according to this pattern, the current weakness could continue into the future. According to the technical analysis of the asset class’s chart, a bear flag formation could cause the asset class to fall between the range of $50,000 and $41,000.
