Bitcoin’s bull cycle persists, with short-term support found at $100,000. Despite the weakened momentum, CryptoQuant analysis highlights a late-stage consolidation phase. Historical trends show ‘Dolphins/Whales’ significantly influence market directions during these periods.

Bitcoin’s Current Bull Cycle Continues

Bitcoin’s current bull cycle continues, according to CryptoQuant’s latest research, identifying short-term support at $100,000.

Market Maturity and Institutional Influence

CryptoQuant identifies market maturity but not completion, signaling a focus on $100,000 as support. Major institutional investors continue to play significant roles in this phase.

“The growth cycle shows signs of maturity, not completion… Resistance is at $115,000, with support around $100,000. A breach of the $100,000 level could trigger a deeper decline…” — Ki Young Ju, Founder & CEO, CryptoQuant

CryptoQuant’s research shows short-term price momentum weakening, with support at $100,000. It highlights the role of major holders, such as ETFs and corporations, in market direction.

2025 Institutional Investment Impact

Institutional investors have absorbed 681,000 BTC in 2025, impacting Bitcoin’s holder distribution, and accumulation is slowing.

Bitcoin supply concentration among large holders raises concerns of potential corrections. If $100,000 support fails, a decline to $75,000 is possible, as noted by CryptoQuant Analysts, who emphasize the impact of the “dolphin cohort.”

Potential Regulatory and Market Challenges

Potential regulatory challenges or market fluctuations could emerge if Bitcoin’s price support weakens. Historical data suggest similar market behaviors could reoccur, with additional technological advancements influencing outcomes.
