CryptoQuant analysis indicates that Bitcoin's current price is hovering in the $62,000 - $68,000 range, with the funding rate in the futures market remaining in negative territory, suggesting that bearish sentiment is dominating the market. This is different from the previous bottom around $80,000, where the funding rate mostly stayed positive.

Since 2025, the dominant force in the market has been selling pressure, with buy orders only used to absorb supply. The current selling pressure has reached its highest level in three months. Notably, the futures market has maintained a high leverage state for 16 consecutive months, and excessive leverage has been decreasing since Bitcoin's last historical peak. Analysts point out that while the price drop has forced some investors to liquidate, it has actually improved the market's leverage health, which is a positive signal in the long run.
