  3. Galaxy Research: Bitcoin Bear Market Ended in June — this brief

Galaxy Digital, in a recent analysis, has declared that Bitcoin's bear market concluded in June. The firm points to the reduction in selling pressure from long-term holders as a key signal that the market has shifted from a phase of capitulation to one of potential accumulation.

This assessment is based on on-chain data showing that long-term holders, who typically drive significant selling during bear markets, have significantly reduced their selling activity. This trend, according to Galaxy, indicates a transition towards more stable market conditions.

The Block corroborates this analysis, noting that Galaxy's conclusion is supported by the firm's proprietary research and on-chain metrics. However, it is important to consider that other analysts may use different indicators or interpret the data differently.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $30,155, showing a slight 0.30% decline over the past 24 hours but remaining within a relatively stable range. The overall cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.75 trillion, with a neutral sentiment reflected in the Fear & Greed Index at 50.

Galaxy's Total Value Locked (TVL) has seen a 5.4% increase over the past week, currently at $131.37 million, according to DeFiLlama. This suggests that investor interest in decentralized finance platforms, which often correlate with broader market trends, remains steady.
