It is too early to expect a full-scale rebound for Bitcoin, according to Alex Kuptsikevich, a senior market analyst at FxPro, CoinDesk reported. He noted that BTC is currently trading near its 200-week moving average, pointing out that the last three times the cryptocurrency fell below this level, it was followed by a long-term bear market rather than a short-term rebound. Kuptsikevich predicted that if the key short-term support level between $61,800 and $62,000 is breached, Bitcoin could fall to $55,000.

With ETH trading at the key $1,600 support level, 10X Research has suggested that if this level is breached, the next major support zone would be $1,200, a level associated with the recovery following the FTX collapse. In a post on X, the firm explained that technically, ETH/USDT is trading below its seven-day and 30-day moving averages and has continued its bearish trend with a 7.4% decline over the past week. Key factors pressuring investor sentiment include organizational restructuring involving a 20% workforce reduction, financial concerns following the termination of an incentive program for core developers, and persistent outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs amid weak institutional demand. 10X Research added that with a lack of specific momentum this week, ETH will likely remain influenced by macroeconomic variables such as the Fed's hawkish stance, a strong U.S. dollar, and stock market volatility.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the Chinese Bitcoin mining pool BTC.top, predicted that the current BTC bear market will bottom out in the fourth quarter of this year in the $42,000 to $44,000 range. He noted that MicroStrategy's (Nasdaq: MSTR) modified net asset value ratio (mNAV) has fallen to 0.72, approaching the 0.7 level seen at the bear market low in May 2022. Considering this and other recent factors, Jiang believes the mNAV has entered its bottoming zone for this cycle. According to Jiang, the mNAV is a leading indicator that typically precedes BTC price bottoms by about six months. Applying a four-year cycle and volatility reduction model, he suggested that BTC is highly likely to hit its low in the low $40,000s between October and December. He added that his current short-term strategy involves maintaining spot sells and short positions, with plans to switch to spot buys and long positions after the expected bottom is reached.
