Bitcoin fell to $74,000 over the weekend, 40% below its all-time highs. At the time of publication, BTC has partially recovered and trades around $78,200.

Bitcoin’s market cap represents only 4% of gold, while the metal’s share of global reserves reached 29% by late 2025. Over the past two years, spot BTC ETFs have managed approximately $165 billion, and corporate treasuries have added around $3.8 billion this year.

Bernstein analysts indicate the market is in a short-term bearish cycle, with expectations of a reversal in the coming months. The firm projects BTC could find a floor near $60,000 in the first half of 2026 before forming a stronger base.

Institutional flows remain stable, ETF outflows are limited, and there is no miner capitulation comparable to previous cycles. Companies like Strategy continue accumulating BTC, while miners diversify operations and enter AI-powered data center markets.

The current correction can be considered a late-stage adjustment, not a new crypto winter.
