On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that Bitcoin's current market cycle phase may extend beyond its trough. The NUPL-MVRV harmonic composite indicator has touched 0.33—well above the historical 0.5 baseline where previous market cycles typically bottomed, per analysis documented by PANews. This positioning in the overall market cycle suggests Bitcoin remains in a transitional phase rather than near capitulation.

Currently trading at $68.69K, the world's leading cryptocurrency shows the indicator trending upward, signaling that extreme selling pressures are normalizing. The substantial gap between the current reading and the historical floor indicates the market cycle has not yet reached maximum capitulation. Analyst Axel's interpretation underscores that while downward pressures persist, the momentum of panic-driven selling is moderating. As market cycle dynamics evolve, continued monitoring of this composite indicator will be crucial for understanding when true market exhaustion occurs and recovery potential emerges.
