Bitcoin nears historic bear market bottom as MVRV hits 0.38 while spot ETFs record over $1.6B in inflows amid $45K–$55K support zone.
Bitcoin may be nearing a bear market bottom as several market indicators move toward levels seen during earlier market lows.
The asset has fallen nearly 50% since its October 2025 peak. Recent data shows selling pressure may be slowing.
At the same time, spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds in the United States continue to record steady inflows.
This activity shows that institutional demand remains present even as prices remain below recent highs.
On Chain Indicators Approach Historical Bottom Levels
Several on chain indicators now sit near levels seen during earlier Bitcoin bear market lows.
One closely watched metric is the MVRV Z Score, which compares market value with realized value. Recent data shows the score has fallen to around 0.38.
In earlier market cycles, similar readings appeared when Bitcoin traded below its perceived fair value.
Analysts often view this range as a zone where long term holders begin accumulating again. These periods have sometimes appeared near the later stages of bear markets.
Bloomberg reported that the current reading suggests Bitcoin may be approaching levels where selling pressure slows.
The metric does not predict price direction. It only shows how market value compares with the average cost of held coins.
BLOOMBERG: Bitcoin Approaching Historic Bear Market Bottom Zone
After losing nearly 50% since October, several indicators that historically mark the end of Bitcoin bear markets suggest the selloff may be entering its final phase.

Bitcoin has already declined nearly 50% from its October 2025 all time high.
Large corrections of this scale have appeared during earlier market cycles. These declines often occurred before longer recovery periods began.
Key Support Levels Between $45,000 and $58,000
Market data also points to several support levels that traders and analysts continue to monitor.
Bloomberg reported that the realized price currently sits near $54,000. Realized price represents the average purchase price of all Bitcoin in circulation.
When Bitcoin trades close to this level, many investors hold positions near their cost basis. This condition can reduce selling pressure because fewer holders face large losses.
Another important level is the 200 week moving average, which sits around $58,000. This long term indicator has often acted as support during earlier downturns.
Traders frequently monitor this level during extended corrections.
Bloomberg estimates that Bitcoin could find a bottom between $45,000 and $55,000 if current market conditions continue.
This range reflects earlier market behavior where prices stabilized before demand returned.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Continue Drawing Capital
While prices remain below the previous peak, spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds continue to attract capital.
Data shows these funds have recorded more than $1.6B in inflows during the past month.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known as IBIT, remains one of the largest contributors to these inflows. VanEck’s HODL fund has also recorded consistent investment during the same period.
ETF inflows reflect demand from institutional and traditional market investors. These products allow investors to gain Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial markets without directly holding the asset.
Bloomberg stated that continued inflows may help stabilize market conditions. However, a sustained recovery would likely require continued demand from both institutional and retail investors.
