CryptoBoost Founder Says Bitcoin Bear Market Has Lasted 396 Days

Huo Xing Finance reports that the founder of CryptoBoost has published an article stating that the current Bitcoin bear market began at the historical peak on October 6, 2025, and as of the article’s publication, has lasted 396 days—slightly exceeding the historical average of 391 days required for bear market bottoms since 2014. In terms of historical drawdowns, the 2014 bear market saw a maximum decline of approximately 86%, the 2018 bear market around 84%, and the 2022 bear market about 77%, whereas the current drawdown stands at roughly 53%, indicating a relatively mild correction. The author notes that increased participation from institutional players such as spot ETFs, corporations, and funds may be stabilizing market positioning, thereby mitigating downside pressure; Bitcoin whales have consistently accumulated since July. However, reaching the historical average duration does not necessarily mean the bear market has ended—Bitcoin must reclaims and sustains levels above $80,000 to $82,000 to further confirm a market reversal. The author also cites recent market developments—including declines in U.S. tech and semiconductor stocks, capital shifting toward bank stocks, a rise in the Dow Jones following the U.S. midterm elections, and falling oil prices—as context suggesting unclear capital flows in Wall Street, and believes Bitcoin may currently be nearing the end of its bear cycle.
