Odaily News: Recently, Chris Kuiper, Vice President of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, stated: "The bear market may not be over yet." He believes that the rebound since August could be either the starting point of a new upward leg or merely a bounce within a bear market, and that "price upside does not guarantee the end of the bear market." Based on the four-year cycle framework, November is a key window to watch (the bottom of the previous bear market was in November 2022), but he also emphasized that historical cycles never repeat precisely, and BTC may decline again and set a new low in November or later.

A relatively positive signal is that from June to mid-August, digital asset volatility remained low before rapidly expanding, a pattern similar to the late stages of previous bear markets, which may mean that selling pressure is nearing exhaustion. During the same period, stablecoin transfers, RWA, and institutional participation continued to grow.

Odaily reports: Yi Lihua posted that Bitcoin has lost the $82,000 level, and the next support level is at $79,000. However, based on the pace of the decline over the past two days, the current pullback is far from over, and it is now more likely to break below $79,000, at which point we will then assess the situation around the $75,000 range. We have been watching this $86,000 pullback for so long and indeed have not shorted, because the trend is still a bull market, and a pullback is also normal fluctuation within a bull market. We stick to the principle of expecting pullbacks in a bull market but not shorting, patiently waiting for the pullback to bottom out before buying the dip. As for the dip-buying price, never guess in advance, because the market and environment are constantly changing.

Odaily News: Michael Saylor stated that the period from now until 2035 will be a "gold rush" era for digital assets, and the crypto economy remains in a small-scale, high-growth phase compared to other global asset markets. He predicts that by 2035, 99% of Bitcoin will have been mined, and he positions Bitcoin as "digital capital." ETFs and wrapped Bitcoin products, treasury companies, digital credit, and bank collateralized lending are the four main drivers of Bitcoin adoption.

Michael Saylor stated that Strategy does not have a fixed Bitcoin holdings target, but instead continues to accumulate Bitcoin as it raises capital, with holdings now having increased to approximately 848,000 BTC. Strategy's issued STRC is a perpetual preferred stock that pays cash dividends, designed to provide volatility and cash flow characteristics different from directly holding BTC. In addition, he focuses on Bitcoin's 200-week moving average and the premium or discount of its price relative to that average, and stated that funds that previously flowed into AI and large private financing have begun to flow back into the crypto market.
