📉 Is Bitcoin Really in a Bear Market? 🔍

Renowned advocate Anthony Pompliano breaks down the recent drop from $126K → $75K:

💡 Key Insights:

• ~40% correction may look scary, but Bitcoin is more mature now — deeply integrated with ETFs, options, and institutional strategies.

• Past cycles saw 70–80% crashes; today, volatility is roughly halved.

• This pullback could already be near a cycle low, not the start of a deep bear market.

📊 Market Dynamics:

• Markets move on expectations, not headlines

• Rally to $126K driven by inflation fears & macro uncertainty

• Now sentiment is shifting toward lower inflation / deflation, cooling demand naturally

⚡ Hash Rate Drop Explained:

• Not miner capitulation — North American miners shut down temporarily during extreme cold, selling power back to the grid

• No lasting impact on Bitcoin fundamentals

🌍 Gold vs. Bitcoin:

• Gold hitting new highs due to central banks diversifying away from fiat

• Bitcoin isn’t yet a central bank reserve asset, so it doesn’t benefit from this flow — yet

🧠 Takeaway:

This isn’t a traditional crypto bear market. It’s a mature repricing in a structurally less volatile, institutionally-influenced Bitcoin market.

Sometimes, the market isn’t breaking — it’s just adapting.
