The current Bitcoin market correction has lasted for 88 days, following its all-time high of $109,590 reached on January 20. According to analysts from Bitfinex Alpha, the decline of over 25% matches the typical pullbacks seen during previous bull cycles — suggesting this is a healthy pause, not the start of a downtrend.
Analysts believe the correction aligns with a bullish market reset, supported by strong spot market activity and investor accumulation. Rather than speculative trading, the recent inflows are driven by real capital entering the market, reflecting long-term confidence.
Spot Market Activity Signals Strong Demand
On April 9, market sentiment improved after President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of the tariff war, easing macroeconomic uncertainty. This news positively affected risk assets, especially Bitcoin, where demand surged.
Bitfinex data shows that spot market activity currently outweighs derivatives trading, indicating that retail and institutional investors are accumulating positions instead of chasing short-term profits.
“We’re observing strong buying activity without meaningful price movement. That usually points to hidden accumulation,” noted the report.
Healthy Pullback, Not the End of the Trend
Historically, Bitcoin bull markets have included 25–35% corrections followed by 3–4 months of consolidation and a renewed rally. This cycle appears no different. The Bitcoin market correction of 2025 fits this mold closely.
Despite aggressive buy orders, prices remain flat — suggesting that sellers continue to absorb demand. However, if sell-side pressure drops and order books thin out, the price may break out upward.
Investor Accumulation Phase in Full Swing
Current market behavior indicates that Bitcoin is in an accumulation phase. Long-term holders are gradually increasing their positions while price volatility remains low. This often precedes a major breakout, but timing depends on broader economic conditions.
Analysts suggest that without a macroeconomic catalyst, Bitcoin may remain in consolidation. However, if global monetary policy eases or geopolitical risks shift, the cryptocurrency market could move quickly in response.
